I say this with 100% earnestness: The destruction of American science and provoking Canada and other allies only make sense if someone is working for Russia.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Canada, the only vote that is ‘wasted’ is the one not cast.

It’s the same old story: IDF murders Palestinians, lies about what happened, nobody gets punished, and the cycle repeats.
This is an ongoing, vicious genocide, in which Hamas is not the target: ordinary, innocent Palestinians are. And their land.

So let’s be clear: in the United States today you can be grabbed in the middle of the street by masked unidentified men and bundled into a van and taken away to God knows where, all because you wrote something that upset the government. That is the United States of America in March 2025.

What are Pierre Poilievre's conservatives so scared of?
Because they just announced they're breaking from decades of tradition and won't let media travel with them on the election campaign.
This is a huge blow to YOUR right to know what they get up to on the campaign trail.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This is all part of the plan.
Invading Greenland would be the end of NATO.
Precisely what Putin wants.
All part of the plan.
Putin is the superpower.
America is his obedient bitch now.
And it’s getting harder to find Americans willing to start up for justice and sanity.

AI detectors often yield false positives, particularly for ESL & neurodivergent learners —raising ethical concerns about fairness and bias. Education is about preparation, not punishment. The best teachers don’t fear AI—we teach SS to use it responsibly. That’s the real future of education. #EduSky

So do I, but you do not see me falling in line.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"
