Something @pkrugman.bsky.social said years ago about the 2nd Iraq war has stuck with me: to be considered a serious thinker by the mainstream, even in retrospect, you had to have been completely wrong about Iraq for a few years, then have changed your mind. I suspect we’ll see a lot of this.

A woman at a demonstration in honor of Renee Good yelled “Fuck you!” at our local troll/Mom for Liberty, Beth Bourne.
Bourne replied, “I’m going to report you to the FBI.”
They never believed in free speech as a principle, just as a weapon.

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Every non-MAGA politician should be saying this. Every single one.
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

I'm not going to keep adding evidence because it's everywhere, but this one seems pretty cut and dried…
This would not happen in a democracy, which is why, if we are serious about our commitment to it, we must accept we do not currently live in democracies and that moving towards such a system would require radical change rather than faith in the status quo

Carney isn't just failing Canada, he's failing the world. If we don't stand for democracy and a rules-based international order, why would any other country come to Canada's defence when we need it?

⬇️ They are absolutely being trained to do this, and then to claim that they are being threatened and therefore justified in using deadly force. This is almost certainly coming down from Stephen Miller
Something that needs to be elevated is that ICE agents have been instructed to threaten and illegally detain legal observers. It's a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their 1st & 4th amendment rights.
Renee Good isn't the only victim ICE has targeted and won't be the last.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

I won't start ranting about it because I just get myself worked up, but quickly: I literally can not think of an investment of public funds that has a higher return than *cleaning the indoor air in schools*. It's so easy, so cheap, & has such HUGE payoff. Criminal that we basically don't do it.

Reminder: THIS is why the GOP created the culture wars.
The goal isn’t immediate, personal, material benefit. The goal is white Christian nationalism.
This is how the GOP gets people to vote for them even when they screw their voters over.
I’d add to this quote for the 21st century-

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition.

This is eliminationist, genocidal rhetoric. There’s nothing ambiguous about it. And it didn’t come from a random Bluesky account with 28 followers. It came from a sitting member of Congress.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

No one hates white men, they hate entitlement, misogyny, homophobia, racism, a lack of anger management, petty grievances, gatekeeping and aggressive control. If white guys keep insisting on making those flaws *their very identity* there will be pushback from people defending themselves 🤷♂️
"White" and "male" are the only demographic categories you're sort of allowed to be bigoted against. The argument for it is some combination of taste-of-your-own-medicine and "they're hegemonic so what's the harm".

As a Toronto sports fan I learned to hate Boston at a very young age. Having finally visited a couple of years ago, though, I now regretfully admit that it seems like a pretty great place with a lot of pretty great people.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:
“Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

I don't even agree the feds mismanaged the comms. People didn't want to listen.
"All taxes are bad" has been drummed into our heads for decades.
When it comes to good policy, you can lead people to the supporting arguments, but you can't make them believe.

The federal government didn’t mismanage it. They mismanaged the comms around it, and posts like this which suggest it was contributing to cost of living issues (when every single analysis has shown that basically all lower income households come out ahead with the rebate) Do. Not. Help.

I get it. Carney is not left enough for many. There is also a thing called reality & we're all living in it. We have 3 choices. 1 is collapsing, 1 is MAGA lite & 1 is competent. Like it or not, these are the choices. We can bitch about the choices but it doesn't change the reality of our situation.
