Did someone say MOU? Reading between the lines of Mark Carney’s plan to build an oil pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast - Greenpeace Canada
The Carney government's MOU with the Government of Alberta to build a new tar sands pipeline rolls back key climate policies and attacks Indigenous rights.

SCOTUS is nothing more than an arm of the GOP. Expand the Court. Impose term limits.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I highly recommend @bjornlarssen.com His Norse mythology novels are fantastic
For gloriously intelligent, camp and oh so silly belly laughs, definitely. give Bjorn Larssen's Why Odin Drinks a read. It's the best. So good that when I first read it, I contacted Bjorn straight away to tell him as much and it turns out he's awesome. (@bjornlarssen.com)

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000.

Alaska needs help from the effects #typhoonHalong
NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
