"With the passage of Trump's death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States."

What does the election tell us about Canadian culture right now? YouTube video by Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud

Highly recommend continuing listening to the extended version of this morning’s Commotion with @elamin.bsky.social after it wraps on the radio for the conversation about Canada’s β€œsovereignty over our political culture,” as Emile Nicholas describes it.

It was never about antisemitism From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while. So I finally did.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

"If the state can deprive an individual of his freedom just because of his politics, which is what appears to have happened here, then no one is safe. You may believe that Khalil does not deserve free speech or due process. But if he does not have them, then neither do you. Neither do I."

Hearing: Janet Cardiff’s The Forty Part Motet | Magazine | MoMA Our latest video takes you from an artist’s studio to a cathedral to illustrate how closing your eyes is sometimes the best way to experience art.

Timeline cleanser:

"How does the sense of hearing trigger our imagination? And what role does that play in art? In pursuit of some answers, we traveled to rural British Columbia to visit artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller."

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy.
There is no going along to get along with this thug.
Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

How Elon Musk Executed His Takeover of the Federal Bureaucracy The operation was driven with a frenetic focus by the billionaire, who channeled his resentment of regulatory oversight into a drastic overhaul of government agencies.

β€œIt started as Elon Musk’s musings at a 2023 dinner party about how he would gut the federal bureaucracy. It evolved into an operation that has given him a singular position of influence over the government.”
