Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
Poilievre is holding a press conference on immigration tomorrow in Toronto? Why? Immigration is now pretty much zero. Sowing more seeds of anger and disinformation in a sensitive area? We just had an election. Why’s this asshat of the past in non-stop campaign rage-farm mode?
“Chicago is a lot of things, but it’s certainly not a ‘hellhole,’ as claimed by the convicted felon, sexual predator, and pathological liar in the White House.” In fact, Chicago is a city of fierce defiance. My free Stop the Presses newsletter.

Message from an Alberta teacher: "I've been told that kids aren't allowed to bring books from home. No free choice reading. No silent reading time or listening to reading. No library time until books are catalogued and deemed appropriate. Please contact your MLA." @daniellesmithab.bsky.social
Again, he’s an idiot, he has no idea what he is talking about #Fail Poilievre's idea to amend Criminal Code wouldn't help Canadians acting in self-defence, law experts say Proposed changes to the law are a 'slippery slope' that could put people at more risk, lawyer says www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Despite the academic capitulations, media collapse, and Trump's attacks on history and race, it's now more important than ever to teach on all of these issues. So I will. I have set up an independent course to teach Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 in October. Sign up here!

Think Trump and MAGA can’t happen in Canada? “The Handmaid's Tale among more than 200 books to be pulled at Edmonton public schools.” It can happen here too if we don’t stop it. Some of it already is.
We’re making Edmonton’s full list of banned books completely searchable. Now, you can find all 221 books, including titles from Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley and more in one place. See which books will be removed from Edmonton school libraries this fall. buff.ly/LzkVnYw #abpoli #bookban
A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all
The vast majority of Canadians support bans on handguns and assault rifles. A reminder that Pierre Poilievre has voted against every gun control measure in Parliament since 2004.

By all means, let’s believe the heinous sex offender who lies like she breathes. Todd Blanche is shameful for conducitng this idiotic inquiry designed only to protect Trump www.thedailybeast.com//cackling-ma...
President Macron: We are talking about an imperialist and revisionist power that is today's Russia, which since 2008 has constantly sought to conquer new territories, has constantly revised international borders, and has never kept its promises of peace and non-aggression.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers. Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
Let’s be clear about the wildfires - endless logging and fossil fuel expansion have made this situation worse. It's shameful to see politicians pushing for the expansion of logging and fossil fuels as we experience and witness this devastation. #wildfires #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.
So much respect for these pilots and all the firefighters.
This should go without saying, but the best thing for Canada to do as the United States quickly spirals into fascism and corrupt autocracy, isn’t to try to seem more like the United States. It’s to quickly double down on being even MORE Canadian. That’s the big advantage, the big opportunity.
In the abstract there's no inherent connection between crypto and being a malevolent, transgressive asshole. But the two things run together with remarkable consistency.

South Park tells Trump’s Homeland Security to ‘eat a bag of dicks’ after they used an image from the show to promote ICE
Historians need to be represented by an organization committed to the position that historical sources, interpretation, argument, and, above all, understanding matter more and demand more than producing grammatical sentences incorporating suggested keywords in response to prompts.
weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him
Over the first seven months of 2025, the economy has added 597,000 jobs. Over the first seven months of 2024 — when Trump said the economy was terrible — the total was over 1 million jobs. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
For any Canadian who may have been slacking in the #ElbowsUp department lately, we get it. It can be challenging. But please, it's time to get those elbows up again and boycott items and services from the US, as much as possible.

Things are so bad, the planet is calling for Batman.
For weeks now, us experts have been saying that this is fundamentally the crux of this trial : Does the legal system understand coercion? Today's conclusion is a loud and resounding no.
Precisely. I've said this before, but there are such striking similarities between this case and the uOttawa hockey team case. A major one being that in both cases, the men themselves admitted to really disgusting, obnoxious, and I would say, misogynistic behaviour. And still played the victim.
A non-stop attack on the victim’s credibility by Judge Carroccia, at the World Junior Hockey sexual assault trial. It is abhorrent.
What a load of shit from this judge. Willfully ignorant is only excuse. Victim blaming bs
That’s right, fuckface.
No wonder the people of Ottawa kicked this guy into the unemployment line. For 3 weeks the capital was occupied. Citizens were threatened. Businesses were forced to shut from harassment. Poilievre brought the donuts. Canada is dealing with threat from Trump while Poilievre whines about the convoy.

No deal on tariffs Withdraws digital services tax Massive spending on defence Massive public sector cuts and layoffs Cuts funding to CBC and VIA Rail Not sure this was the mandate voters thought they were giving Mark Carney
During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year. Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

The Cree call theJames Bay lowlands "Yehewin"-breathing lands. The globe's fragile lungs hold 5 times more carbon per acre than rain forests. Carney and Ford want to rip it up for the Ring of Fire. The guys playing with me - Lawrence Martin/Vern Cheechoo are serious musicians and land defenders.

All of the major media organizations over the last decade have been systematically bought up by oligarchs, dismantled, and turned into propaganda organs benefiting the oligarchs. This was not by accident, this was a concerted effort to exercise more control over US society.
