Bob Rae on fighting for democracy: "I think it's really important for people to understand that this is the battle of our lifetime. And our grandparents and our parents fought that battle in the Second World War. We had it on easy street for quite a while. And now we've got to fight again." #cdnpoli
I think one reason, and a grim one, that energy-limiting diseases get so little attention (aside from Covid denialism) is that it’s hard to capitalize on those of us with them. We are mostly very poor because our working ability is limited, we have little buying power and thus,little lobbying power.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.
Donald Trump hates democracy. He hates free speech & a free press. He hates free & fair elections. He hates an independent judiciary & its duty to justice & the law. Yet he adores murderous dictators, particularly Putin. Who exactly is the enemy of the people? American voters have one more chance.
50 percent tariffs for our beloved neighbor and historic ally, Canada. A red carpet and a military flyover for Communist China’s leader. Donald Trump is a sick man and a danger to America.
China's Xi got a B-2 flyover, F-22s, and a full honor guard of military paparazzi. Canada got 50% tariffs. Europe got threatened. NATO allies treated like adversaries. Our biggest adversary treated like royalty. "Tough on China" is doing a lot of heavy lifting these days.

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Y’all call yourselves allies and then point and laugh at people who have been TRAUMATIZED by society as a whole. Where do you want us to go? We can’t even try to exist together outside the borders of your majority? This is why I say American society is eugenicist.
My mask isn’t political to me, it’s accessibility. Imagine walking up to someone with an inhaler and saying “whoa buddy no need to get political.” I have long covid and heart problems. If I keep getting it, I will get more disabled or die. The people making it political are the ones stigmatizing it.
CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

US has deported more than 25,000 people under secretive agreements with 35 countries to take migrants with no ties to those nations, according to an investigation published Monday u.afp.com/Sj9Z
Art of the Deal is buying fertilizer from a Putin-aligned repressive dictator and paying to ship it 6,000 miles from his landlocked and sanctioned country so you can teach Canada a lesson.
So the US is “working on a deal” to buy Potash from a dictator allied with Putin instead of Canada.
“American journalism” is an oxymoron. Cowering in fear, and unwilling to report that the emperor’s new clothes are an illusion, the fourth estate no longer exists in the U.S. We have neither a free press, nor individuals with sufficient integrity to work in one.
Physicians who administer Canada’s MAID were interviewed “One person said administering the lethal drugs causes for them ‘an urgent and pressing need for sex.’ Utterly vile and depraved stuff.” No need to worry, your HCWs will gleefully assist in killing you www.donotpanic.news/p/do-max-har...

Just like with the ballroom, another scam by Trump to turn this into a “military complex” to prevent the courts from intervening by using “national security” as his excuse for vanity projects.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.
