In case we have forgotten - this is Canada. Not the shithole down south.
Ok, cheering is maybe beyond the pale. But he was a shitty human and what are they going to do when Trump dies? Fire 90% of the Canadian population? So seriously - cut it out. We don't care who works where or what they said about an american bigot and grifter.
kirk was killed by a dropout engineering student afflicted by brainrot but to the free press that is no reason not to slander the nation’s institutions of higher education
If a single semester at Utah State could turn a kid from a conservative background into a wild eyed leftist, pretty sure we’d see armies of revolutionaries graduating after four full years at universities across the nation.

The governors of Arizona and Maine have signed orders intended to make COVID-19 vaccines available in pharmacies for people without individual prescriptions.

You ever get a spider on your back-up camera? I mean one so fat you were worried a cat snuck in behind you?
“Hey kid, be a good caddie and don’t count my last stroke.”
Sure seems like a lot of fired-for-not-respecting-the-dead-enough stories out there the last couple days, surely nothing to worry about

No child should shake in their sleep as bombs erupt overhead or plead through a camera lens to die with their parents so they won’t be left alone. More than 20,00 children have been killed. The U.S. has manufactured & delivered weapons that rain down on civilians in Gaza.
Kyle Rittenhouse all over again. Watch this kid get a pardon.
1) He's not wrong to worry. 2) He's probably not nearly far enough to the right for the lunatics on the fringe. 3) He's incapable of seeing his own contributions to the problem. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
LPC MP @beynate.bsky.social drops a 3-minute video on the eve of the OLP's review of Bonnie Crombie's leadership with some challenges -- if you listen closely -- to Crombie, to Mark Carney and, most of all, Doug Ford. "What do we want from our politics?" ino.to/gLw0I76 #onpoli #cdnpoli

In Opinion | “On Thursday, the Brazilian Supreme Court did what the U.S. Senate and federal courts tragically failed to do: bring a former president who assaulted democracy to justice,” Filipe Campante and Steven Levitsky write.
So Matthew Dowd was right. Will MSNBC re-hire him?
So... is the civil war off or...?
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
endless moralizing about how awful it is that left wing people post uncivil things on the internet while turning a blind eye to all the people on the right baying for blood at the exact same time
Or, and here's another possibility, the media DOES but finds a Left vs Right dichotomy an easier canvas to paint their message on than discussing what's been happening in the more accurate terms of Right vs Accelerationist.
Stephen Miller just called the entire Dem Party a "domestic extremist organization." Miller is a close Kash Patel ally. It's likely Miller is pushing for a *much* more aggressive use of the state against the liberal left right now. (h/t @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social) newrepublic.com/article/2004...
How on Earth is legacy media going to "both-sides" this? I'm sure they will figure it out! @driftglass.bsky.social @bluegal.bsky.social
My problem is that, increasingly, I trust too few people to tell the truth.
Solid lesson here for cities across the country.
To me, "transformative" would be high speed rail and intercity public transit across Canada. Massive green energy projects. Fully-funded public healthcare with pharmacare and mental health. Slightly more fossil fuels and mining do not sound all that transformative. Definitions may vary, it seems.
For the Friday crowd, my @xtramagazine.com column: Canada must lead on LGBTQ+ rights. Will Carney's budget meet the moment? #canqueer #cdnpoli
A missed opportunity to point out that Mace desperately needs to do some squats etc for her nasty flat ass.
the worst part about when there’s a big shooting like this is everyone puts their little 4chan investigation hat on and accuses like 10 different people of being the culprit and harasses them and their families and are in the end always wrong
The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.
*shooter might be any kind of minority* “We’ve got to stick more people in jail” *shooter comes from right wing family* “Nobody remembers what we were just talking about”
I don't have the statistics but it seems they're usually men as well.
Once again, I'm struck by the fact that the one thing all these shooters have in common is, uh, the guns?
Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow
That we're seeing an outpouring of these kinds of false equivalences shows that the violence (real or threatened) originating predominantly from one side is having the intended effect of causing people to avoid stating plain truths for fear of physical repercussions.
"Crime" and "DEI" and "the border" have become justifications for state-led and vigilante violence against Americans. Trump in his profound political, cognitive and physical decline has settled on the most base kind of white supremacist race war as his central governing project.
“The entire mainstream media environment has been working overtime to sanitize Kirk’s legacy since his murder—a legacy that includes targeted harassment of professors at schools across the country and normalizing the notion that basic human rights are up for ‘debate.’”
Just so i am clear, so we couldnt actually afford those tax cuts then 🤔 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

New in PN: Trump's lawyers won't stop lying in court "The administration is now the worst possible litigant, constantly belligerent & willfully defiant, & not a single person speaking on its behalf, from Trump to the lowliest newbie DOJ lawyer, should be given the benefit of the doubt ever again."
The far right produces such a disproportionate amount of mass violence in the US that it comprises almost all political violence in the country Trump is a fascist that wants to use this event as a pretext for violence against his political opponents, and is literally justifying it here.

That is dictator talk. does not matter if Trump is demented, as it shows what he and those around him believe AND that others are obeying.
We got so close to civil war last week--Texas NG vs Illinois NG/police. Not sure Trump will always back down, but the Dems have defend democracy not by giving in but by standing up.

Wait, you're all still talking about some shooting that happened 2 days ago? That's like 25 shootings ago in America time. I'd already forgotten all about it.
I am assuming this is the research most likely to yield the more exciting advances?

Last evening I did my weekly visit to my parents where we always take my dog for a little walky in the bush lot their neighbors are in the process of re-naturalizing. I tell you, every tree crown on the edge of that bush lot had 10-20 Monarch butterflies fluttering around the crown.
Isn’t meeting an objective also a result?
When in Europe last winter, I kept telling the Europeans they need to figure out whether NATO was better off without the US. Sure, the US has a lot of capability but now totally unreliable and likely to block action.
The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.
Reading two-month-old news like holy shit I’ll never catch up on the horrors

Damn. This dude writes for the Dispatch!
The president swapped the innards of one of the world’s premier investigative agencies with pinball machine parts, and now the designated crime solvers can’t solve crimes? Gee, imagine that.
hey the people that stormed the capitol and erected gallows to murder elected leaders want you to know that political violence is not ok
huh who could’ve guessed the keystone cops would release sketchy info to the press that fit the preconceived narrative they were trying to back into

I feel like I'm losing my mind seeing report after report making it seem like Carney's initial five projects are being put on some kind of regulatory fast track. As this story indicates, most of these are already approved and in some cases well underway. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

When the mother fucker finally kicks the bucket, I hope the embalmer breaks both his stupid fucking thumbs off and shoves them up his ass.
Fuck this guy. I will be so pissed if Carney falls in line with him. Stop appeasing americans in our dealings with China. We already got in punished by China over Ming whats her face with trump, the EV tariffs for Biden. Time to set our own policies.
The way the mainstream media is treating Charlie Kirk’s bigotry is the way a highly dysfunctional family treats racist crazy pedo grandpa. “Oh come on, that’s just how he is, he doesn’t mean It, that doesn’t count.”
GET RID OF HER.
Well I hope Brazil just tells him to get fucked. The sheer gall of these people thinking they can dictate the domestic affairs of another country. Seriously, get fucked you dumbo eared spineless toad.
“the child had contracted the virus before they were old enough to be vaccinated against measles.” Awful, awful stuff.
of all the legacies to choose, “protector of pedophiles and guys who smeared literal shit on the walls of the capitol” is definitely one of the best
more evidence that the battle cry of all these institutions should simply be “fuck you, make me”

bet one of those experienced senior officials they fired woulda known that
One of the privileges of working in canada is that i can say that Charlie Kirk was an awful, awful person who deserves no honors in death. Political violence is bad so let's remember that this schmuck invited a shit ton of Political violence.
Oh man they are gonna get hit with so many tariffs

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...
I am not on the other sites, but my guess is if you scanned the sites and coded them in terms of their support or opposition or support for political violence, BlueSky would have been much more opposed than the sites where prominent posters are calling for a civil war.
Charlie had a net worth of an estimated $12 million. This isn’t about helping anyone, it’s about funding right wing extremism.
As revolting as it is to think of Prime Minister Ford - it could happen. He popped up in Ontario right when voters were ready to vote for a 3 legged dog as long as it wasn't Liberal. Who's to say we won't be there Federally next election.
Don't pull us into the circus.
