Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. He lied. Again.
Marco Rubio is now acknowledging that it might not be possible for Trump to end Russia's war on Ukraine (Trump promised to end it before he took office!)

A military judge on Friday threw out the confession that a man accused of conspiring in the Sept. 11 attacks made to federal agents in 2007 at Guantánamo Bay, ruling the statements were the product of a campaign of torture and isolation carried out by the CIA.
Military Judge Throws Out Sept. 11 Case Confession as Obtained Through Torture
The critical question of whether the prisoner’s 2007 interrogations could be used at his capital trial has shadowed the case for years.

Great interview on @majorityreport.bsky.social today @equalityalec.bsky.social. @emmavigeland.bsky.social @mattlech.bsky.social.
Canada has very similar problems. Our mainstream news just print police press releases, no questions, no pushback.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

NEW: British lawyers representing Hamas just filed a legal case challenging its UK designation as a terror group. They charge the UK is aiding the Gaza genocide, undermining the right to armed resistance & stifling debate in the UK about Hamas’s aims and actions.

Hamas Launches Unprecedented Legal Case in Britain, Demanding the Government Remove its Terror Designation
In a legal filing, a Hamas founder argues that the group has the right to use armed resistance to achieve Palestinian liberation—and that Britain is crushing honest debate about its aims.

The construction industry has developed a series of schemes to deny workers pay and benefits, while shielding everyone up the contracting chain. Infuriating piece from @sarahlazare.bsky.social and @workdaymagazine.bsky.social:

Construction Bosses Are Using Elaborate Schemes to Harm Workers
Specialty contractors and labor brokers are among the participants reducing their own labor costs by burdening workers unfairly.

Ok what’s going on here?

Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down.
Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset.

Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it.

Means the world may be abandoning America.

We are flirting with a true crisis.
10-year yield going vertical here. Something’s gonna break.

I will keep repeating myself until it becomes accepted fact in The Discourse: Elon Musk is a eugenicist and has repeatedly demonstrated this with what he has said and what he has done
Musk's transphobia really hits different when you realize that he ordered all boys via IVF.

He's worse than a bad father, he's a dissatisfied customer.
coincidentally his first nine (?) children are all AMAB

A lot of freedumb convoy supporters show this hypocrisy. They threaten to run over or lock up environmental protestors or first nations' protestors.

Pierre wanted First Nations protesters locked up.

Pierre brought donuts to the convoy.

That is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Both Tamara Lich & Chris Barber were members of the secret group chat, despite bail conditions ordering they have no contact with each other

I asked a criminal lawyer if this could represent a breach of their bail conditions – the lawyer said it could:

“There’s definitely grounds to lay a charge”

Trump just pardoned crypto firm BitMex for violating money laundering laws — making him potentially the first president in American history to pardon a corporation.

It's truly a new Golden Age for corporate crime.

I was so happy to have @js-tan.bsky.social back on the show to discuss what he saw at Microsoft and the wider ties between tech and the oil industry that too often get ignored. Once again, the tech companies are not our friends.
Silicon Valley likes to present itself as clean and sustainable, but cloud giants have a very dirty relationship with oil and gas.

This week @js-tan.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss how cloud and AI are used to fuel the climate crisis.

37 of them were killed in Gaza City, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic.

The death toll continues to rise.

So, the fracture of the BC right wing begins. @johnrustad4bc.bsky.social put a tent around traditional conservatives and far right weirdos, was only a matter of time before it fell apart. Hopefully they fight and stay fractured for elections to come. #bcpoli #bcndp
