This is extremely concerning escalatory rhetoric.

It's a double standard, yes. But it's essentially the problem with morality. I think I'd argue that you have to hold to certain principles against people with no principles. And sadly, faced with bloodthirsty lunatics, while never giving up the fight, it's not smart to give them more of an excuse.

Premier Ford is deeply misinformed on the applicable law here, including the Treaty-based law, and his remarks below are just unconscionably rude and racist.

House speaker MAGA Mike Johnson advocates for a brutal form of vigilante justice to be performed on the Democratic California governor, Gavin Newsom, earlier today, saying he should be โ€œtarred and featheredโ€ for his opposition to immigration agentsโ€™ enforcement actions in the state.

Apparently Trump is calling for Gavin Newsom to be arrested because of โ€œgross incompetenceโ€

If gross incompetence is actually a reason to arrest office holders- then Donald Trump and his entire cabinet should have their own wing in Alcatraz.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way weโ€™re cutting it ourselves โ€” strategically undermining Americaโ€™s long-term health, wealth, and security โ€” we would likely consider it an act of war.

If, my fellow Canadians, you need any further inspiration to continue to boycott all things American, and that includes actual America, it is vital that we, as a nation, collectively say โ€œFuck this guy.โ€

Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been givenโ€”or denied.

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of โ€œDuck Dynastyโ€ to pitch a reality TV showโ€”titled โ€œThe Americanโ€โ€”where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country โ€œfor the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,โ€ according to a new report.

Itโ€™s only early May, and already wildfires are forcing families to evacuate their homes. This is the climate crisis in real time. We believe in a future where summer doesn't mean smoke, fear, and displacement. If you believe in that future too, it's time to fight for it. #GoGreen

A black-and-white photo shows the small town of Frank, Alberta, with wooden buildings at the base of a rugged, snow-dusted mountain. The text "Burmis & Buchanan Frank" is faintly written across the bottom.

As the residents of Frank slept in their homes on the night of April 29, 1903, 44 million cubic metres of rock slide down Turtle Mountain onto the community.
This is the story of The Frank Slide.

This IS Canada. I hate it but it is. Large numbers of Canadians are drawn to hate, anger and division. They hold grievances. They believe things that just arenโ€™t true. We need to figure out how to confront this and move forward. We canโ€™t hope it will get better.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotlineโ€™s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

First impression of the CPC platform: they're booking a lot of projected future revenue from projected future economic growth.

The LPC platform explicitly did not do that. Neither did the CPC platform in 2021.

Gรฉlineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.
