WIN: The Virginia Supreme Court authorized an April special election in which voters will decide whether the state should redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.

If passed, Democrats could gain four more seats in Congress, leaving Republicans with just one of 11 seats.

Canada’s new defence industrial strategy sets out a series of important benchmarks for the country to achieve over the next decade, including buying and maintaining most of the military’s equipment domestically.

Excellent plan and strategy.

I lived in Centretown at the time. I will never forgive the Conservative Party of Canada for actively supporting the so-called Freedom Convoy as it took a shit in my neighbourhood.

There is nothing worse than a bunch of privileged whites complaining about their freedom in a country like Canada.

The Trump Administration, including RFK Jr., claim they care about children’s health, but their actions reveal quite the opposite.

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

The deep stupidity is to think that multiculturalism can't be a country's culture. The deeper stupidity is to think that monocultures even exist. Motherfucker, if you like the Beatles, you have Black, Indian, and other non-white musicians to thank.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

One of the most clutch athletes in Canadian history has done it again.

But this one, at this point of his career and life, will mean so much more to Mikael Kingsbury.

His last Olympic event. His first Olympic gold as a father. His fifth Olympic medal. Outstanding.
