Policies need popular support to be sustained. I get that. And the carbon pricing + rebate system is now dead, killed by Conservatives in a dedicated campaign of lies. We failed to defend it successfully. /1

Some MLK quotes that people like to selectively ignore:

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
MLK- 1967

Does this guy do any actual work at the companies he owns? It seems like he spends his whole day getting into Twitter beefs, trying to prove that he is relevant to people who matter more than he does.

The very last thing that this moment calls for is a hoity toity centrist technocrat. The Liberals need a leader with some serious fire in their belly if they hope to have a shot at beating Poilievre. Carney ain’t it.

I’d say buckle up, but what’s the point when we’re careening off a cliff?? 😬🙃

They bonded over their shared passion for inventing new ways to make children limbless. And they exchanged muffin recipes.

Broken clocks are right twice a day. She is absolutely right here, and it brings me great mirth to see the MAGAs already start the infighting, even before Trump has been sworn in.

State collapse always seems inconceivable before it happens, and then inevitable in hindsight. People in the future will say the signs should have been obvious, but it’s a lot harder for us in the present to connect the dots.

Briana Boston crying

Police chief justifying jailing Briana Boston

Judge setting Briana's bond at $100k even though she has no record, no guns and is a mother of three children

About Briana Boston:

This is what prison abolitionists have been trying to tell us. Prisons don't exist to lock up "bad people," they exist to lock YOU up as soon as you realize how dangerous the system is and try to resist it. Police budgets are rising along with inequality, it's not a coincidence

Ford government to ban lawsuits against province if cyclists are hurt or killed on streets where bike lanes were removed Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria tells cyclists: for your own safety, stay off Bloor, Yonge and University when bike lanes are removed.

This is what a Premier does when he knows deep down in his heart that he is enacting policy that is absolutely, positively going to kill people.
