Someday, I will share my experience on that other platform. I have a long history there.

But for now, we celebrate one another.
It's great to meet you again for the first time.

How's the search of residential school gravesites going in Canada?

Any progress?

This shows you that it doesn’t matter what’s actually happening: what matters is what’s on the radio when people drive to work. And this government is surely the disastrously disproven test case for the proposition “the British press can be appeased via crackdowns and authoritarianism”.

The UK is giving up on economic growth to placate mediocre white people.
Net migration fell sharply agaim to 204,000 in the year to June 2025, having been 344k in 2024 and 848k in 2023. But falling immigration has been the biggest secret - and it is time for the media and political debate to catch up with this change

I get a surprisingly large number of responses saying “This is because the public are stupid” but for real, if that was the key issue, then it wouldn’t be necessary to constantly shitehouse people with the most misleading and inflammatory messages they can get away with. There would be no need.
It is IMO not possible to operate any kind of meaningful democracy when your national press is a joke and a travesty, but your mileage on that may vary. I think it’s incontestable that it is impossible to govern well and effectively, while being in hock to these pantomime clowns.

When my white friends repeat the anti-immigration lines fed to them by billionaires and their media partners; I always say "More Migrants. Less of You."

They feel attacked by this, for some reason. It's weird.

Why would we need more whiny white people here? We're full of those.

We need workers.

This is how it works: after lobbying Richard Tice with a trip to the French Riviera (to discuss "gas power" without having any expertise in the industry), the wife of a former Putin minister now attacks Labour and Conservatives. You don't need Specsavers to see what is going on.

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

BREAKING: as predicted, Republican Skandalakis has moved to dismiss the Fulton County RICO case against Trump et al.
This isn’t good news IMO. When Willis was disqualified from prosecuting fraudulent elector Burt Jones because she hosted a fundraiser for his opponent, Skandalakis took that case for himself and disappeared it. I imagine he’ll do the same here.
BREAKING: Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has appointed himself to prosecute the case against Trump and others in Fulton County.

The move follows a court ruling that disqualified Fani Willis from pursuing the case.

FLASHBACK: “Do you feel lucky to get out of here without an investigation? How many girls were there?”

The Holler’s Kanew asked a retiring Rep. Byrd about girls he apologized for sexually abusing.

This is what @aftynbehn.bsky.social was protesting.

This is what they’re attacking her for. #TN7

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted
November 27, 2025 at 3:02 AM
Yep.

And theyll get more killed, too.
Pure logistical and tactical stupidity to send in 500 more guardsmen to bolster 1500 already there. No National Guard units from any other state are needed in any other state. They exist to help their own state when needed.

Trump and Hegseth are responsible for the shooting of those guardsmen.

Republicans tell Americans what to eat at Thanksgiving.

They claim theyre not big government tho.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

October 7th happened as a direct result of Likud policy that goes back to 2014. They ended negotiation with Palestinians. They attacked the Great March of Return. They select Hamas' leadership via airstrike. The embassy move by the USA was a provocation. Daily incitement at checkpoints.

No offense to dreamers, but we need to focus on making earth habitable.

MAGA has given themselves over.

Soon, theyll be too poor, too sick, and ever more ignorant of what's happening to them to change anything about their outcomes.
At the rate they are cutting environmental regulation you can expect to see the return of cholera.

Meanwhile, @mark-carney.bsky.social got himself connected to the provinces failures in housing... by promising housing from the federal government.

I'm a liberal and I dont think we need the Feds to build houses... we need premiers to stop hampering new building with endless uncertainty.
