"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

I’d like to know what constitutes “weird purity tests” with this Liberal but I’m afraid he’ll tell me and no one’s got time for that 🙄
No. The Liberals aren't progressive conservatives, they are a big tent in the truest sense. They don't have weird purity tests on who can join. As long as you don't say or do something truly hateful or heinous, you're welcome, unlike all the other parties. That's why the NDP always loses so badly.

And you've been right! I'm hopeful that while the NDP try and rise from the ashes that they come back as the socialists they were always supposed to be.

I know liberals see this as "Yay! Building up that majority! Bleeding Poilievre dry!"

But for the rest of us, this is a huge red flag.

These people ran on a platform of hate, xenophobia and fear mongering. What does it say that they feel seen by the Liberals right now? Yikes.

A friendly fire incident.

Israeli forces mistakenly opened fire on another Israeli unit after misidentifying them as hostile.

It resulted in the death of Sgt. Ofri Yaffe, 21, a fighter in the Paratroopers Reconnaissance Unit, this morning in Southern Gaza.

Because we as a nation do not have a moral backbone. We make excuses for our apathy, and we say it isn't our responsibility.
Someone is strapped to an electric chair. It’s connected to a button in front of you. If you press it, you get $1 million and are not charged for their death.

Do you press it?

As a matter of fact, we press that button every day — especially every election day, writes @crof.bsky.social. 🌎🇨🇦 #canpoli

🚨 BREAKING | **All** remaining Filton 24 defendants have just been found NOT GUILTY of aggravated burglary, the most serious charge they were facing.

This follows 6 being acquitted of the same charge just two weeks ago. They are expected to apply for bail.

This Labour government comes with a bodycount: Palestinians, trans kids (46 pushed to suicide by government policies). And that's without Labour being directly linked to nonces via Peter Mandelson. Day after day, scandal after scandal, Labour is giving people reasons to be furious.

Maybe dont do authoritarian shite like removing peoples rights and ability to exist in society, access healthcare, protest, access the internet etc - all while working for a gov that protects billionaires & paedos.

A majority of your casework is going to be *because* of policy decisions.
...my team has to spend a reasonable part of their week trying to make sure none of us get murdered.

This also a greater burden for women, MPs of colour, LGBT MPs, so they effectively get less staff time to focus on what actually should matter...

The fact Gillingham and members of EPC didn’t automatically say “you know, this was a terrible idea, what were we thinking? let’s never go down this road again” after hearing the wave of thoughtful, pro-freedom delegates yesterday has me CONCERNED re: future fascist policy attempts from this group.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.

They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.
