Very refreshing reflection on Christianity.
Will be absolutely amazing if Talarico or Crockett flip Texas.

Writing is thinking.

It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

February 15, 2026 The Trump administration’s white nationalist project was on full display this weekend at the 62nd Munich Security Conference that took place from February 13 to 15, 2026.

We have to be vigilant in Canada to protect our belief that the government has "a role to play in regulating business, providing a basic social safety net, promoting infrastructure, and protecting civil rights."
We can't abandon those things like the US has.

For those Canadians still making the ill-informed choice to visit the US, here is something else the administration is doing to *further* discourage tourism and economic activity. This also hurts poor American families and undocumented migrants.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

Same. For this 62 year old white woman.
Infectious music with lots of beautiful, happy, brown and black people dancing. It was a huge display of joy.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Emergency Triad: Another American Has Been Murdered by Our Government It’s worse than it looks and it looks plenty bad.

Americans, your government is lying to you.
The world watches the murders by ICE.
We mourn for the victims and the end of the rule of law in the US.

This Is the End Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

Read @jvl.bsky.social's piece at
@thebulwark.com on how Trump, the Republican party, and the American people demolished "the entire geo-strategic balance in an unprecedented act of national self-mutilation."
I wish I believed he was overstating this. I don't.

Agreed.
But wasn't almost of the attraction to go to the US proximity and convenience?

...the US and the world *will* never be the same again. FTFY.

As 🇨🇦 PM @mark-carney.bsky.social said today "Nostalgia is not a strategy."

The rest of the world will never trust you the same way again. Science is just one thing on a long list of reasons why.

"Nostalgia is not a strategy."

@hcrichardson.bsky.social please let Americans know that Canadians are "moving on" feom our old relationship with the US.
Nostalgia is not a strategy, neither is appeasement.

Carney today in Davos:

"What would it mean for middle powers to 'live in truth'? It means naming reality. Stop invoking the 'rules-based international order' as though it still functions as advertised...

"We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy"

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

Listening to @mark-carney.bsky.social at WEF today strengthens my pride as a Canadian.

Every accusation is a confession. This may be the "best" example ever.

There *are* professional agitators Minneapolis and they're being paid by American taxpayers. If the government wants to de-escalate, they can pull ICE off the streets.

The Distance Between Renee Good and Ashli Babbitt Is Fascism It’s not a hypocrisy. It’s a coherent worldview.

"The people who run this regime do not understand law enforcement as an institution to be stewarded. The view it as a tool for the domination of their enemies. And their “enemies” include about half of America."
