This. That’s why I’ve tried to say since 2016 that Europe must wake up. Democracy is threatened.
I think the danger is someone else more competent will emerge in years to come. Not a Trump 2.0 but summoning and binding the same dark forces but to greater effect.

Buenísimo esto de Emilio. Y creo que deberíamos darle una vuelta a que el mayor éxito comunicativo que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo surja de una crítica al antipatriotismo de los negacionistas. Las luchas climáticas más importantes se van a dar en terrenos no directa o evidentemente medioambientales
Andrea Ropero, del Intermedio, me entrevistó para hablar de cambio climático y negacionismo. Si tuviera que escoger una idea, escogería esta. Porque es la pieza que permite encajar muchas cosas y además lanzo un guiño al gran Lester Freamon (The Wire): ¿negacionismo? Sigue el rastro del dinero.

Todo lo que pasa en Occidente y que ha traído la debacle moral, intelectual y política a las derechas sin excepción responde a que los Hombres Blancos Heterosexuales están hartos de que tías, maricas y negros tengan derechos. De USA a Totana.

Also: dear fellow Canadians, sometimes you just can't appease your way through a potentially contentious project by relying on PR and consensus building. Avoiding conflicts whenever possible is actually good. But denying that conflicts exist is counterproductive.

8/ Ironically, for an event advertised with obvious neo-Nazi imagery and with organizers with neo-Nazi tattoos, they talked about how conferences like these make them more respectable. They believe this makes them a threat to the establishment.

After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.

That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.

This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

They do care, but they believe it's misspent by the teachers, the health care administrators, the city councils... anybody but the actual guilty party, because the Conservative = efficient and good for business framing remains impervious to reality.

More than that, countries broadly following the (Nordic) Social Democratic model are at or very near the top of practically every measurement of societal achievement _ever devised_.

All measurements have issues and any one statistic could be flawed.

But when they all point to the same direction…
Finland tops the global happiness index, which suggests that other countries should use it as a model.

With everything going on these days, it’s easy to miss when local governments get up to some sketchy stuff.

Take Vancouver, where Mayor Ken Sims is planning to eliminate the city’s sustainability and climate department!!!

Yes, really.

Le Pen’s RN has become the party of billionaires
By voting to save the ultra-rich, the RN has clearly positioned itself as the party of billionaires, as a right-wing party on every level, much like Trump’s Republican Party

Deeply appreciate Canada’s media union speaking out against this multimillion dollar lawsuit

An attack on one is an attack on all

If they can do this to me, they can do this to you
This is an important case in defending freedom of the press.
Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

In other provinces, journalists can use anti-SLAPP legislation to challenge lawsuits when they believe they are groundless or undermine the public interest

Alberta has no such laws, leaving journalists vulnerable to long and expensive legal battles

I believe that is fundamentally bad for democracy

Caylan Ford is suing me and PressProgress, along with trusted news organizations like CBC News, the Toronto Star, as well as other award-winning journalists

Caylan Ford says she wants to “impose costs” on us as part of a larger crusade to “fight back against cancel culture” 🙄

Everywhere, the right wing calls those it opposes "communists." Even here in Finland, even supposedly sane and moderate people have started doing that.
FYI for foreigners - Mamdani is not a communist. That's what the right wing calls anyone who wants to spend tax money to benefit the public, like providing free childcare or increasing bus service.

True Americans cut taxes and tell citizens* to go fuck themselves.

Again, it was confirmed here that Jeneroux was planning to floor cross to the Libs, was then threatened by the Whip and others, so he decided to resign rather than face the rabid dogs. Poilievre is using "fear" to rule, this won't end well... #cdnpoli

A young Tory MP's name gets mentioned as someone ready to cross the floor. He goes to ground and then suddenly announces he is stepping down.
Young MPs just don't quit politics unless someone dumped a political horse head in the bed.
