I won an argument tonight with a "free-speech absolutist" (or at least got them to admit "yes, you're right, private platforms should have the right to decide their own moderation, and restrict the speech they want to restrict") thanks to this article. Thank you, Adam Serwer!

Exactly. The new U.S. National Security Strategy is much worse for Europe than most people had imagined. Europe is described as a bigger threat than both China and Russia, and they outline the need for regime change in Western European countries as part of a civilizational struggle.
I assumed the NSS would just ignore/deprioritize Europe (It did that on defense/NATO).

But the actual message was: Europe matters to us, we must save it from itself, the EU and its wokeness. Thus, the USG is going all in on foreign interference to help the far-right win a civilizational war.

"Politicians should learn to be responsible for what they say"

Great talk on the petition to make the federal MPs accountable for spreading misinformation.

The CEOs of Ford and Stellantis, as well as senior executives from other auto manufacturers, standing beside him while Trump goes off on another vicious racist rant about African immigrants. Not one of them had the courage or the dignity to walk away.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

A big blue wave is building in backlash to the regime. The fact that Republicans had to fight so hard to defend a Trump +22 district is more very bad news for MAGA. No amount of gerrymandering can stop what’s coming in November. The American people are sick and tired of Trump’s chaos and corruption.

"While the fight to re-stigmatize ethnic nationalism is an enormous one, we have to do everything we can to become engaged in the struggle."
A majority of this sessions' bills introduced by the CAQ target people, take away human rights, or make it impossible to challenge the government. Is Quebec experiencing its own fascist turn? My latest, on one of those attacks.

ARCC has submitted an official complaint about anti-choice bus ads specifically targeting students in Kamloops.

Parents in the school district are also calling for their removal saying that students shouldn't be exposed to “anti-choice images and messaging” while on public buses.

Too many amazing moments to capture them all today as tens of thousands of labour and community activists poured into the streets of Montreal today to stand up to Premier Legault and his CAQ govt's increasingly hard turn to the right. Dans la rue pour le Québec! #polqc #assnat
