That certain provincial premiers invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a tool to ram through legislation that would otherwise be unconstitutional speaks volumes about their contempt for democracy. That the news media normalizes this is unacceptable.

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.”
The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series.
Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

Also, you don't threaten people for telling others not to obey illegal orders unless you plan to give illegal orders.

Interesting, and telling, that we don't see the current president of the U.S. doing any natural family or human being type things. Like Obama at a food bank, Biden riding his bicycle, visiting a school, having a family picnic, etc.
Everything is a staged photo op like Halloween or golfing.

Jokes aside, this thread just touches the tip of the iceberg on how fucked up things really are.
Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

Inclusive Trade means involving EVERY creative business globally, particularly from underrepresented groups. Increased trade among all levels of society overcomes trade barriers to help smaller scale producers get products & services to market. Think arpilleras and fair trade coffee for example.
Absolutely @metabeth.bsky.social and this is why we are holding the Festival of Inclusive Trade next year. The 2026 Festival is about reclaiming what inclusion truly means—in who participates, who benefits, and who gets a seat at the table: shorturl.at/ANmPt

Lots of commentary about the "peace deal" offered to Ukraine.
Let me sum up the offer:
1. Russia gets everything it wants
2. Ukraine gets screwed
3. Trump declares victory
As a strong supporter of Ukraine, I suggest Zelenskyy tell those who like that plan to burn in hell where they belong.

Hmmm, maybe a healthy work force with strong social safety nets and improved wages is good for the economy.
Like so many of us have been saying for forever!
Like so many of us have been saying for forever!
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Native Americans traditionally assign no moral gradient to love or sexuality; a person was judged for their contributions to their tribe and for their character.
In case some MAGA wants to fact check you. There are plenty of supporting sources out there. White Christian Nationalism disgusts me.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
