I just started reading Finding the Fox by Andreas Tjernshaugen. Just finished Happiness, Aminatta Forna, also about foxes. Highly recommend both. 🦊

I think we all were. I was mad to have moved away from Ottawa when the convoy hit. I would have attempted to mobilize people to block the big rigs from even getting into the city. It was ridiculous that they were allowed to co-opt our capital & carry tanks of gasoline next to our parliament!

It’s farcical! They are delusional and fuelled by base greed. My hope for them is that one day their children look at them with such contempt.

So Peter Thiel is not just dangerously theocratic and rich, he’s completely insane. This is less coherent than Moldbug. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Exactly this! The ceasefire will last until the Nobel announcement and then they will continue on their merry little murderous ways.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

“He has Constitutional rights.”

“No.”

ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

(So many shameless hypocrites around.)

My hope for her and all of the rotten hateful miscreants; that one day their children will know what they did and look at them with utter contempt.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.
