Ok, the seppies are unhappy with Danielle Smith, and are on the "uniparty" thing, which, fine, whatever, I just started laughing at "Halal Mortgages" and had to share.
I wonder if this type of campaigning will be become part of the normal leadership selection process after this year.

it's so cool that Democrats have our own insanely combative vetchud now
Kevin@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · last mo.I understand but unfortunately the NRCC chair getting whacked by Richard Ojeda is so funny I have to root for it.
It's official! Mike Morrice is the Leader of the Green Party of Canada! We are excited for the vision Mike brings for the future of the Greens and the important work ahead for our party.
Thing is, Bindel has never been particularly interested in being *in* touch. Her positions have always been fringe and unpopular among LGBT folk of all stripes, lesbians included, and it was mutual - she wanted nothing to do with them either. Picking up the "LGB" mantle now is just disingenuous.
Tristan Grayford@tristangrayford.scot · 17h agoIt's a sign of how out-of-touch the clique of transphobes are with literally everything around them, let alone the LGBTQ+ community, that they think that Stonewall are the radical vanguard driving everything they hate
This is the first caucus leadership race to actually feel like a leadership race in like the UK or Australia, not least because he’s just absolutely going for it

First real contested legislative leadership fight since Hoyer v Pelosi is gonna be very interesting. Ngl treating it like a mass primary when it's the definition of an elite selection does not necessarily lead to success imo

Just occurred to me that me that Scott Colom means there is finally someone representing the state who cares about the fact that a Special Rapporteur from the UN has called the situation there untenable and a violation of human rights!!!

I know a lot of you just jumped to the racial/gender explanation for this but it's worth pointing out that in most of the federal cases brought against people working on behalf of the PRC to intimidate dissidents, the American co-conspirators are white guys

"we need mandatory media literacy classes in schools" we have them. they are called English Language Arts classes. you didn't like them because a teacher suggested the author may have had a reason for making the curtains blue.
The fact that Sabalenka outright said (not even muttered) "fucking Ukrainian whore" after losing to Svitolina is going largely unnoticed, unlike Svitolina refusing a handshake, as usual.
I like how a lot of people ask for a politics that focuses on social good over raw GDP growth and the UK and US both have that but instead of focusing on the environment or community it’s all about subsidizing obsolete but nostalgic industries and installing anti-facesitting spyware
This is an amazing technological achievement. I just wish it were made by literally anyone else.

The Labour Party: We owe more to Methodism than Marxism haha, no but seriously there is a rich tradition of Christian Socialism in Britain that we draw from along with the english radicals, the Diggers that form the roots... Andy Burnham's Labour Party: We are the Party of Christian Fundamentalists
future historians are surely going to be gobsmacked at how we had a string of ethnic minority Home Secretaries whose entire strategy was “pander to racists but not enough”

in this interview alone you're getting educational polarization, gender polarization, the reemergence of a politically viable southern liberalism, and a kind of "southern economic development voter except make it lib" dynamic.
i am genuinely fascinated by this for like a dozen reasons.
