Founder of ARC. Board member @antihateca.bsky.social. Middle-aged weight lifter. Snarky, partisan, hack (but often charmingly so). Proudly and unapologetically anti-fascist.
The Alberta separatists clearly don’t realize China is the province’s second largest international trading partner, a fact the predates Trump’s first and second terms in office. 🤷

Wanna see the right eat itself?

I give to you the reaction in just one corner of the Maple MAGA Twitterverse to this post by Poilievre supporting Danish sovereignty… though I do think the actual Greenlanders should have all the say.

I believe this is where Norm MacDonald would say that Kyrsten Sinema is a real jerk.

Well, here is a master class on how to debase one’s self.

Also, I find it funny that a man who claims to promote meritocracy routinely accepts prizes he didn’t earn or that he created and awarded to himself. Then again, we all know the “merit” he is referring to really is aligned with skin tone.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

At this point, I can’t understand why any international traveller would visit the US

Even if you think you’re not at risk, you could get caught in the crossfire of ICE gunning people down in residential streets or have masked gunmen storm your restaurant and haul kitchen staff away as you eat lunch

ICE murdered a woman. Cold blooded murder. And despite the efforts of their apologists and outright lies being told, the footage is unambiguous as to what happened.

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”
We Are the Bad Guys
The swaggering threat to global stability is us.

1/ In news that will surprise no one, the separatists in Alberta are urging Trump to attack Canada to take Justin Trudeau into custody, this further proving that they have no respect for democracy if they don’t get their way.

As much as I didn't care at all for Maduro, I'm not sure how bombing a country and kidnapping its president and spouse is condusive to the maintenance of global stability.

So I guess Trump is also president of Venezuela now? He's probably going to expect a parade.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

In 2021, Matthew Tyrmand (former Project Veritas) mocked my concerns re: Jack Posobiec’s past use of known antisemitic symbols: 1488 & the echo symbol. Four years later, he’s amplifying concerns about Poso’s recent interaction w/ Myron Gaines who wrote on X in October: “Yeah. We like Hitler.” 1/

Shellenberger, who for years has breathlessly spread baseless conspiracy theories about a nonexistant censorship cabal between civil society/academia, and government is now OPENLY ENDORSING CENSORSHIP demanded by an elected official.

The hypocrisy would be astounding if it weren't so predictable.
Free speech warrior Michael Shellenberger, of Bari Weiss’s fake “university,” retweets GOP Sen. Dave McCormick calling for the University of Pennsylvania to take “decisive action” against renowned climate scientist @michaelemann.bsky.social for reposting criticism of Charlie Kirk.

So fun to join @mostmoralpod.bsky.social to talk about Jesse Brown’s destruction of the once-great Canadaland (and his slight obsession with posting about me)

Thank you @mattlieb.bsky.social and Daniel Maté for having me!!

The internet is revolutionary to free speech because it empowers individuals and citizens to route around censorship in all its forms—even a captured “free” press.

This is why private platform governance; law on internet access or online content, and anonymity online will always matter.
