Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Interesting tidbit for Canadian labour law and collective bargaining nerds:
Collective agreement coverage in Canada’s private sector today (15.5%) is lower than it was in 1940 (16.3%), before Canada had enacted ´modern’ Wagner-style collective bargaining legislation.
Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated public.
Trump is no different. That’s why he’s trying to control not just what we do – but what we think.

A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw
Fascinating!
When you make a Monty Python co-founder laugh out loud. 💕
The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.
There is still time!
Please VOTE!!
Ahh foreign interference? Using lies.
Totally agree! I feel my anxiety has moved into Global Stress Syndrome. Not sure it's real but my body believes it is!
BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel just tweeted and deleted a post saying the agency arrested a judge
BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.
Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.
The Prime Minister of the Heard / McDonald Islands Speaks on Trump’s Tariffs
Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.
Conservatives confident attacking female journalist will distract from Poilievre’s comments about women’s “biological clocks”
This is a huge loss, both of the research but more importantly of the researchers, their work and their careers. Canada needs to find away to fund and relocate these researchers to Canada.
Totally agree! Federal and Provincial govnts should majorly invest in post secondary research institutes and bring the researchers up. US grabbed our aeronautics researchers post Avro Arrow so now it is Canada's time to build up our own resesrch sector!!
Dear Americans...

Canadian schools should stop teaching AP courses (so should US Schools)
What could possibly go wrong...?
I don't usually agree with Trudeau (or Globe columnists for that matter). But I do today. This is what is at stake. We need to proceed on this basis.
Trump = Onceler from The Lorax.
Hence the firing of so many ppl associated with National Parks and Forests.
All about controlling the data. This is putting millions at risk.
That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.
I will attempt to flesh out why the CBC's broadcast of Cross Country Checkup was so toxic today, since there are some people still expressing confusion or dismay at the criticisms, including my own, leveled at it.
