Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

Use of the notwithstanding clause has disproportionately fallen against unions and collective bargaining rights. Feels fundamentally at odds with the Charter. Only a general strike will solve this.

What is the notwithstanding clause? Explaining the rarely used provision | Globalnews.ca

The notwithstanding clause gives provinces or Parliament the ability to override certain portions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for up to five years.

Both NYT and WaPo took the same dishonest approach: skip how it was done without Congress or public feedback, skip how it's funded illegally with private money, then also dodge the merits of the Epstein ballroom itself by framing the issue around the strawman 'can the White House ever be renovated?'

Amanda Kolson Hurley @amandakhurley.bsky.social · 7d

I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

The real story isn't Trump cutting off trade talks with Canada (who cares?), it's the Reagan Family Foundation completely distorting the truth, dishonoring Reagan's own words and legacy, and cratering to Trump (who Reagan despised). www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/p...

I don't like the Blue Jays batting Clement 7th in the order. It's too low. He's been one of their best postseason bats. Would've gotten up there in the 1st inning with bases loaded. #worldseries #gojays

Anytime trump denigrates someone as “low IQ” it’s a black person. Look it up. Fucking racist pos.

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

Pierre Poilievre is a scourge to Canada. He brings nothing of value, just tears people down. He was firmly rejected in the last federal election, and couldn't even win his riding, so he carpet bagged over to Alberta to win back a seat. He's a career politician, and a useless one.

You have to understand, people who demonstrate peacefully for the restoration of democratic norms are insurrectionists while people who rioted at the Capitol to overturn an election are patriots.

The Supreme Court is eviscerating Article I and the power of Congress to legislate. The legislature is the most democratic governing body in the US (which isn't saying much) but neutering it is another shot across the bow of democracy in the US.
