Canada has a parliamentary system where elections can happen any time. If a government can’t pass a budget, there’s an election, for example.
Small chance that happens this year, despite an election in April.
That’s different from the US, where failure to pass a budget means a govt shutdown.

For political gain, Republicans have proven they are willing to starve millions of Americans. Trump himself withheld funds that could be used to feed the hungry. He truly is the AntiChrist. #politics

ICE is a tactical abuse group aimed at training its officers to be oblivious to citizen's rights so that they can more effectively use their brutality to perpetrate crimes against American citizens as Trump clings to power. #politics

Remember that when you see the words "Federal Officials" in a news story you may enhance the sense of the information by substituting "Trump Cronies". #politics

Actual meritocracy, unlike whatever Trump is talking about
The reason these women won is simple, they were the best candidate in both the primary and the election
And the voters figured
that out

Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.

The blue wave witnessed yesterday was almost entirely due to highly motivated voters showing up at the polls, and as a result pollsters badly miscalculated, leading them to almost entirely miss it in some states

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.
