South Park writers are braver and more perceptive than 75% of U.S. journalists. At least.
South Park called it, and it’s hilarious.
One of the creators purchased the Trump Kennedy Center URL address before the name was even changed because they know Trump’s narcissism is in the driver’s seat.

Many proposed climate solutions work well, and are ready to go *now*. Those are the ones to focus on.
Others will take more time to develop. They might help a little, someday.
And some don't make sense and are unlikely to work at all.
How do you tell the difference?

Climate solutions aren’t created equal. Here’s how we evaluate what works and what doesn’t.
Just as science has led the way in describing the problem of climate change, we at Project Drawdown are using science to guide resources toward the most effective solutions to the crisis.

This new move by Smith (who sees Trumpism as a guide rather than a cautionary tale) inspired me to send yet another donation to the Alberta NDP.
Dangerous (and Trumpy) nonsense.
The courts exist to interpret and protect our rights — even, and maybe especially, the unpopular ones.
The fact that they aren’t elected is a *good* thing.

If we are serious about preserving Canada’s democracy and sovereignty, Canadian institutions need to stop tolerating the intolerant! 👇 Amongst other things, that means blocking X, Rebel and others making $$ from purposefully purveying disinformation and division.
Karl Popper’s sage advice for democracies - don’t tolerate the intolerant!
“If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

If Canada is serious about its sovereignty, it must exert tech and media independence.
This Admin has been a Big Tech coup from Day 1.
Now 5 Europeans who have regulated or monitored big tech for hate and disinformation are barred from the US.
Chilling stuff.
According to Rubio, the infraction is: "targeting American speakers and American companies.”
