Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I see from CNN that Canada’s economy is in “crisis”.

A word of unsolicited advice to everyone: don’t believe a single word any US media says about Canada. None. They don’t know shit about us and they don’t care.

It’s in the US’ interest to describe us as being in crisis. Not ours.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 9h

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but surely announcing "undercover operations" in advance is ... a bit daft?

Running around w/ a constantly activated "fight" response doesn't mean you "hate people" or you're "destined" to be alone forever. It likely means part of you is sick & tired of being invalidated, & needs explicit attention in your internal work-- & it's done waiting & hoping.

Pam Bondi's shameless stonewalling of the Senate Judiciary Committee today is of course a total negation of Congressional oversight. "Oversight" is impossible if they won't let you see anything.

Defending conversion therapy is like defending the prescription of heroin for a cough. That was done at one time, but we know better now.

Govt regulates the medical industry to keep ppl safe. This is no different than any other modern regulations to protect consumers & patients.

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!
