In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 2008, the ambassador for Katimavik came to visit kids & parents in the tiny town of Listowel, ON. In 2016, the newly elected PM didn’t think twice when we asked him for a pic. Justin Trudeau, I am proud of you & grateful for your service. You did your father & your country proud. 🍻 #elbowsup

Ontarians! Here's a fantastic site documenting Doug Ford's disaster as Premier. From dismantling public healthcare and education to wasting billions on pet projects, enriching developers, and the private sector. (Starlink deal is still on!!)

Hey folks rather than quote tweeting links from Cross Country Checkup or Hanomansing, giving them engagement they so desperately crave, I'd suggest taken 3 minutes and writing to the CBC Ombudsman who will take our complaints seriously.

Libraries are our final defense against fascism.
Doug Ford axed library funding in half. Toronto's library system is the largest on the planet.
These are not the actions of someone who believes in democracy. They're the actions of a fascist.

Donald Trump’s fundamental advantage is that almost no one remembers anything.
Reminder for anyone who sees Trump as a savior: He lobbied to have tiktok banned in the first place, and now he’s positioning himself as the hero by unbanning it. It’s theatrics.

A very important thread indeed --
1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).
