It's the tiresome fabrication of 'respect' here that's telling. Orban & his other idols aren't 'respected all over'. They are pretty much reviled autocrats who fabricate everything to hide the evil required to keep their regimes in place.

Trump wants to be in that club.

Surely a temporary episode of clarity from Erickson.

While I am not surprised that the Fraser's analysis sucks, I laud Fawcett for highlighting it so well because so much of the anti-climate positions rely heavily on crappy analyses like the one from Fraser.

When your only policy is to create a constant unbearable level of fear of the other, there will be blood.

Truly sad.

A cleaning woman showed up at the wrong house with her husband. Someone inside shot through the door, striking 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in the head, killing her.

The Indianapolis suburb is called Whitestown.

🇨🇦 🧵 Press freedom is at risk here. The idea that ppl with truly awful ideas get exposed is the entire purpose of the 4th estate. It is not 'cancel culture' as the whiny RW crank suing PressProgress suggests. It is the very job description of outlets like Pressprogress.ca Support them if you can.

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Since we’re talking about affordability, a reminder that Trump’s culture war based economic policies are making everything more expensive for no discernable benefit to anyone but him www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Always so pointed and well written. Connecting the truly stupid idea of the right's 'woke' to the policies it inevitable creates does a great job of highlighting what America has lost over the last 10 months....and it's a lot.

And he would be right and I am amazed this even needs to be said.

American voters have let a lot slide over the past 10 yrs, but if Tuesday was any indication, they aren't buying this bullshit anymore. They know exactly who is to blame for the shutdown, the tariff debacles, the lost alliances, the crippling of healthcare, the hunger, and the corruption.

I think we are at the point where the entire editorial section, if not the paper altogether can be ignored

No to billionaires again: concentration of power in too few hands always results in the imposition of their views on the many. Whether it is killing the poorest because you hate 'empathy', siphoning money from gov'ts for pet projects or deciding who gets to work or not, they answer to no one.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Paramount Has Blacklist for Stars Deemed “Overtly Antisemitic” — World of Reel

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

Utterly horrific, the kind of stuff you used to hear only happened under dictatorial government that were not America.

Here's yet another horrific ICE thread. Hiring cop rejects with violent personality disorders, giving them an unlimited budget to commit violence, and immunity to go along with that, results in this. Trump has gone a long way to making America a shithole

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

So then all that talk about bringing prices down on day one was BS and Johnson and his coteries of twiddling morons are just wasting everyone's time.

WTF is she doing here? Is she so pissed off about not getting her party's backing for a run at Gov that she's tossing her whole idiotic persona? Is anyone buying this? This is, after all, the crank who harassed a school shooting survivor, talked about jewish space lasers, & the 'Gazpacho police'

They're trying so hard to undermine him, to the point of painting the Jewish community as some monolithic block & conflating Israel with the Jewish diaspora. The ppl behind this are far less concerned with antisemitism, & far more concerned with his possible effect on the wealthy. CNN is garbage.

Speaks to the utter incompetence of the Trump regime. Planes don't fly safely, alliances gone, DOJ captured, FBI run by a pundit, DOGE debacle, the CDC hollowed out, SNAP halted, FDA not functional, DOD a laughing stock & the military told to use another nation's charity

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It

The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

In the absence of any real leadership, watching an addle-brained sociopath dismantle institutions, ideals. alliances justice & the economy, and not willing to accept the rancid bullshit offered up as an explanation, the many announced they had had enough.

Socialism for the wealthy but rugged individualism and personal responsibility for the rest.
