Pay No Attention To The Pillaging Behind The Curtain The biggest news story of the modern era is being buried right before your eyes.

A rhetorical piece, but this is a big truth too seldom remembered. The concentration of wealth is a system feature of capitalism, but the speed of it has accelerated enormously in recent years and decades.

No place for politics in F-35 cockpits as Canadian fighter jet pilots get ready to train at U.S. base | CBC News While procurement for Canada’s complete fighter jet fleet remains up in the air, advocates say politics need to be set aside as members of the Royal Canadian Air Force head to Luke Air Force Base in A...

CBC continues to scold Canadians on the need to keep our "politics" out of the discussion on whether we get strong-armed into buying the F-35.
Lol... the F-35 is all about politics.
It is the politics of threat and intimidation against our independence.

This long, meandering post is pleasantly brilliant and well worth the read, even if you are not particularly interested in the by-election

Conceived in Bootle, my father had 7 years of schooling, was a strong trade unionist, and would be considered a dinosaur today for his views on gender rolls and sexuality.

I am the only one in the family to go to university. I have lived my entire life on the balance point your describe so well.

Canadian here. This meandering post is brilliant. You manage to explain without patronizing or demonizing. I can always quibble about fine points, but I think you have captured the heart of the change and how it is perceived differently by different people.

‘Am I at peak popularity? I hope not’: on the road with Zack Polanski, from protest to podcast to Heaven nightclub With polls and membership at an all-time high, the Green party are having a moment – and it’s largely down to their charismatic (if slightly cheesy) new leader. Can he really pull off a socialist revo...

It is the decent and compassionate thing to do. It also makes economic sense.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Palestine Action activists cleared of aggravated burglary at Israeli defence firm site None of the six activists were convicted of any offence over break-in at Elbit Systems factory near Bristol in 2024

This is an important decision. It also explains why Labour is trying to dramatically reduce the number of jury trials.

The US drew up a plan to invade Canada in 1930. Now Trump is reviving old fears

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

False dichotomy. I strongly support both activities.

That damn Wine Mom international is at it again.

Alternating Labour and Conservative governments have overseen the continuing decline in quality of life and social mobility to vast swaths of the population. Most of those looking down on their (yes, wrongheaded) desperate search for a way out, are doing very well in the status quo. It is noticed

Perhaps there is a general feeling that the main parties are all defending a status quo that is crushing them slowly. Perhaps they see little personal loss from trying anything new.

Mock if you will. But those doing well now will not be listened to by those losing ground.

That covers pretty much all of the plausible criteria.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

Protesters flooded the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and W. 26th Street in south Minneapolis, near where Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents Saturday morning.

Video by Aaron Lavinsky, Genevieve Ross, Kyeland Jackson and Louis Krauss.

Protester: "It just feels like they're murdering the most peaceful people we have, the people who are out on the street, young, and trying to protect other people"

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Aaron Parnas writes: “BREAKING: Another ICE involved shooting just happened minutes ago in Minneapolis per someone I spoke to on the ground. Details are limited right now.”

Message to fellow journalists (and anyone claiming to be one): do not “police-involved shooting” executions in broad daylight.

Obfuscating language like that is completely journalistically unnecessary and, even worse, sanitizes reality.

Words have meaning. Use the right ones.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

There is another video from much closer. It was a execution

it's only going to get worse
