You can't make someone learn something that their job depends on them not knowing. Establishment Dems are never going to suddenly realize that left-wing policies win elections, because they are capitalists who would rather lose than give up the class system they're addicted to
The Jeep Rubicon Childkiller. Celebrate the climate emergency and mow down pedestrians with 5,000 pounds of pointless metal.
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Actually, the proper term is "democracy." Democracy doesn't work if you don't criticize the fuck out of elected politicians.
Mark Carney should call an election. We should decide if we are going to burn the world down.
Saeed Khan@saeedwkhan.bsky.social · 17h agoBut let’s build more pipelines and burn more carbon. Right @mark-carney.bsky.social?? Because when the world is on fire the smart thing is to put more fuel into the fire. FFS. We did not vote for this. Carney should resign. globalnews.ca/news/1200473...
Imagine if we started buying way more drones and way fewer tanks? We could enhance our security for a lot less money. Win-Win!

Mark Carney promised to take on Donald Trump. He’s done anything but
While Prime Minister Mark Carney said he be “Elbows up” to Trump, his policy choices have essentially aligned Canada with America.

Mark Carney has: -scrapped consumer carbon tax -scrapped oil/gas emissions cap -cut $1.3B from environment Canada -weakened industrial carbon pricing -axed 2 billion trees program -approved 1M barrels/day pipeline -weakened greenwashing laws While this is happening:
While a cyclospora explosive diarrhea outbreak is repeatedly linked with a 20% cut to US CDC & food inspection staff, it's wild how many LPC apologists casually dismiss Carney cuts to wildfire monitoring & food inspection with a derisive "of course the unions complain about increasing efficiency."

London Review of Books@lrb.co.uk · 2d ago‘Palantir was willing to spend more on securing political access than almost all of its British and Continental competitors.

I made dinner for a man who abused me more times than I can count thinking I could fix things. It never stopped the abuse. It created the expectation that he could do whatever he wanted and then be fed. Max Miller is trash. If the GOP won’t say it, I will.
Someone please tell this clod that if he wants American booze he should move there. My trade policy is sound. It sounds like this : “NO!” www.thestar.com/news/insight...
Doug Ford’s booze ban is hurting us, not the U.S.
It's depriving Ontarians of choice, hitting the LCBO in the bottom line and keeping the tariff war going, argues University of Toronto economics professor Joseph Steinberg.
