Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

We know what measles does w/o vaccine protection. The vaccine came in 1963, AKA living memory. We’ve seen outbreaks since in unprotected settings. Just as there was no mystery about syphilis solved by the racist Tuskeegee experiment there’s nothing here to be discovered beyond suffering and sorrow.

Prime Minister Mark Carney gives a speech that’s lauded around the world.
So the piffleswipe decides he needs to issue an instant response as if there were an election underway….

It's a tell and a timesaver. Everything said after can be evaluated accordingly.
And foreign news use it now with no understanding of the source or original meaning, and without clarifying what it's used to mean now.
The worst are using it as a noun (e.g. backlash against woke). Cannot stand it.

I would tell nonblack people to stop saying woke but they won't listen, they'll say no you can't tell us what to do! So whatever. Through appropriation you turned a commonplace way Black people describe our commonplace systemic oppression into a tool of hatred. Hope you're happy.

“So the story is that ICE detained a five-year-old? What are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a five-year-old child freeze to death?"
Don't use the child as bait

You gotta love this photo. It's not AI. It's real. And near everyone on the planet outside of Canada will have no idea what's going on, why, or what it means. The day before, Carney was Davos Man, who had seized the world's attention. Now this. It looks like a hallucination.

“The rules-based international system, which made relations between states more predictable, is giving way to an anarchical international system in which the powerful subjugate smaller states, demanding trade concessions or the surrender of sovereign territory.”

Carney skillfully navigates anarchical international system
The stable post-Second World War international order has been abandoned by its most powerful architect — the United States.
