Shellenberger, who for years has breathlessly spread baseless conspiracy theories about a nonexistant censorship cabal between civil society/academia, and government is now OPENLY ENDORSING CENSORSHIP demanded by an elected official.
The hypocrisy would be astounding if it weren't so predictable.

Free speech warrior Michael Shellenberger, of Bari Weiss’s fake “university,” retweets GOP Sen. Dave McCormick calling for the University of Pennsylvania to take “decisive action” against renowned climate scientist @michaelemann.bsky.social for reposting criticism of Charlie Kirk.

The internet is revolutionary to free speech because it empowers individuals and citizens to route around censorship in all its forms—even a captured “free” press.
This is why private platform governance; law on internet access or online content, and anonymity online will always matter.

Fiorentini is great. Given the most recent example of how corporate media is coming under tighter control ("60 Minutes") I think it is even more important to support independent journalists like @franifio.bsky.social, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social, @pressprogress.ca, @antihate.ca, and so many others.

Poilievre lost a second member of his caucus. This after having to run in the safest Conservative riding in the country after getting turfed in his old riding.
Doesn’t exactly scream strong and decisive leader.
Perhaps he can salvage his reputation by gnawing on an apple while acting smug?
