Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Criminal slumlord Jared Kushner’s corrupt $5B resort plan in Albania has all but effectively collapsed after the country froze all of his assets that are tied with his money laundering project. Good. Well done to the Albanian people who refused to see this happen.

"Cuba is a threat to U.S. national security," says Rubio. Cuba is no threat to anyone. It has no drones, missiles or atomic bombs. Another lie to manufacture unilateral consent for an invasion. The world must put these terrorists in jail. #cdnpoli

If you’ve ever wanted a T-shirt repping a racist Canadian group pushing for mass deportations, your purchase is just a few clicks away — all thanks to Shopify. When I reached out to them, they said "we don’t remove merchants over objections to their worldview.” Wow. My latest for @thetyee.ca:

Shopify Powers a Racist Group’s Online Store. It’s Not the First Time | The Tyee

This might take longer to get resolved than the Iran War.

A quote from @lindamcquaig.bsky.social: "Carney is spending hugely on weaponry, even as cheap drones destroy the world's most powerful weapons. Personally, I'd prefer less money spent on military firepower & more on making our lives liveable." #cdnpoli thestar.com/opinion/carn...

Canada is already the sixth largest military spender in NATO. Mark Carney’s increase in military spending is shrinking the horizon of possibilities of what Canada could achieve elsewhere. #canpoli rabble.ca/columnists/c...
