Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Elon Musk is donating $10 million to a Republican primary candidate in Kentucky.

That’s more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see — much less donate.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

It's (under-) estimated that between 25,000 and 35,000 people in Canada and around 770,000 people in the United States are homeless on any given night. THAT'S A LOT OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.

A reminder that the Epstein files still haven't been released in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And the DOJ has now claimed that Congress has no right to appoint a Special Master to compel their release. Corrupt regime is corrupt.

Release the files.

We don't need Greenland. We need healthcare. We need living wages. We need democracy. We need equality and a real justice system. We need freedom from Russian influence. We need a president who isn't a felon rapist determined to watch his opponents burn.

Funny, I live in Texas, and we have probably more illegal folks in the state than the whole Midwest combined. Yet ICE is concentrated in the middle of January in Minnesota, one of the more peaceful states in the country. It's all just blatant fascism. 🤔

As of Thursday, ICE-Gestapo was holding over 73,000 people in their concentration camps, a record amount in their disgraceful 23 year history.

They aren’t a law enforcement agency, they are a militarized terrorist organization that should have been disbanded long ago.

Canada's big six banks made $70 billion in profits last year on the backs of working people.

So I went to Bay Street to ask bankers whether it’s time for a wealth tax.

If you agree, become a member of the NDP and let’s fight for it together: avilewis.link/join

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

8 young people held without trial for protesting the Israeli genocide are on hunger strike.
They will begin to die within days.
Keir Starmer treats protest against Israel's genocide as terrorism.
Thousands have been arrested.
An appalling abuse of power.
