All I can think of are the very important agreements/partnerships between the US and Canada to protect the Great Lakes - the International Joint Commission, Great Lakes Charter, Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Deep Waterway Treaty. I'm sure it's fine though. /s

UPDATE: It appears the order does indeed disallow our government from recognizing the existence of a Lake Ontario in any contract. That's exactly what I was talking about. Trump has now made it impossible for the United States to engage in diplomacy over this major body of water.

I will not forgive Brandon Johnson and especially JB Pritzker for not making a bigger deal of how Midway Blitz tore apart our communities, created lasting trauma and even cost a life. Silverio Villegas González rarely gets counted in ICE murders, and the people with political capital are to blame.

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

It doesn’t matter if they’re “coming for you next.” Even if your position and your privilege will ALWAYS protect you and everyone you love, it is your job as a conscious human being to fight for justice. That’s just the way it fucking is. You don’t get to abdicate that responsibility.

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t Not incompetence, not naivete, not negligence, not mispeaking, not mixups, not miscommunications: straight-up evil people doing evil sh*t

“We must all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately. “ ~ often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but more likely a Flemish proverb. Point is still the same.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Swing Left@swingleft.bsky.social · last yr.

The most important election since Trump took office is 2 weeks from today! Elon Musk is bankrolling Brad Schimel because he knows the Wisconsin Supreme Court is the last line of defense against his extreme agenda. But with your help, we can defeat him 👉 Swingleft.org/WI
