This is what dreams are made of.

Very simple rule of thumb here… if Trump thinks you are rich, crooked and he can make you owe him a favor, you’re gonna get your pardon.

For anyone who knows anything about genocides and the incitement of genocidal violence, this is the kind of hair-raising stuff you find in transcripts of testimony before special tribunals.

25th Amendment now.

Every single elected leader in the country should be reiterating this same message. Hegseth is pathological. He's a danger to every single person on the planet. He must be fired immediately & put on trial. He will be convicted. If Trump pardons him, the next POTUS can still send him to The Hague.

The harm that comes from RFK Jr's "campaign is already being felt. Children and vulnerable people will die."

"Outright falsehoods are dangerous and intolerable."

Yep.

Why MAGA is coming apart at the seams Turns out they're not in it for Trump, they're in it for themselves.

"In an environment in which all politics is national, loyalty to POTUS is more fragile. When he struggles, members of Congress are dragged down w/ him & they feel an urgent need to distinguish themselves. When they start to break with him, that only makes him look weaker" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

This is an excellent read that goes far beyond food security and touches on broader questions of Inuit self-determination and what we actually need to mean when we talk about Arctic Sovereignty.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

You already feel contempt for Alex Jones because he is a contemptible man but the weakness demonstrated here should magnify your contempt a billion times over. The bullies are having trouble bullying and they don't want to play anymore.

They believe in nothing. That's why they're losers.

Ottawa, Alberta agree to broad outlines of energy deal, including path to pipeline | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have agreed to the broad outlines of a memorandum of understanding that would give Alberta special exemptions from federal environmental l...

Danielle Smith just suckered Mark Carney into reviving the Northern Gateway pipeline.
This is the antithesis of "nation-building."
There is no economic, political or environmental case for Stephen Harper's dream.
This won't end well.
For Canada or Carney.

EPA just approved new ‘forever chemical’ pesticides for use on food Critics warn the EPA’s approvals of new PFAS pesticides could expose more Americans to “forever chemicals” through their food.

To be clear, all MAHA has accomplished is putting cane sugar into Coke and removing red food dye.

They’ve also destroyed the CDC and public confidence in vaccines.

They claim to want “healthy living” yet we’re getting forever chemicals in our food.

It was never about health.

Opinion: Alberta's coal policy continues to fail taxpayers Provinces repeated flip flops on approvals has cost us $240 million and counting.

"The gov't should immediately reinstate the moratorium and implement a permanent ban on new coal exploration and development across the Eastern Slopes. This would protect critical watersheds and prevent the cycle of legal liability that has already cost us $240M."

Let me sum it up for non-military folks:

Senator Mark Kelly didn’t violate any military laws. None.

Hegseth’s little bitch ass has been ordered by Trump to retaliate against Sen. Kelly for speaking out, and Hegseth does what Daddy tells him to do.

That’s all this is.

Evangelical Christianity a Big Driver of Alberta's Authoritarian Libertarianism?

Yup, IMO.

~25% of Alberta identify as evangelical Christians.

Explains a lot, doesn't it?

Tobacco giants knew their products caused cancer.

Oil companies knew their products cause climate change.

Social media companies know their products facilitate abuse of minors

Seeing a pattern? It’s not a few bad actors it’s a feature of a system that rewards profit at any cost

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.”

The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans.

It never ceases to amaze me how billionaires who already have enough money to last 1,000 lifetimes still want more money and have to desire to help the poor, the disabled or the elderly.

#SocialistThursday

Billionaires are psychopaths.

"Hell no. We don't agree w/ each other about finance, we don't agree w/ each other about immigration, we don't agree w/ each other on foreign affairs – but by God, we can agree we don't want to be ruled by a hand full of rich men who think they're better than the rest of us."

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:

Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker"...

Not knowing that next person was a journalist.

After she failed to hang up the phone properly.

Just the most competent government ever.

Listen to the corporate centrists. They do not care about people. Their only priority is protecting the capitalist machine that feeds them.

They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.
