Musk broke laws. Vought broke laws. Every DOGE boy broke laws. RFK broke laws. Noem & Bondi & Hegseth & Rubio *all* broke laws. I suspect a bunch of US Senators and Congresspeople did insider trading, for all I know it was bipartisan. Every. Single. One. of them needs to have *real* consequences.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

Even limiting global warming to between 1.6 - 1.8C would require far stronger policies to reduce fossil fuel emissions than those currently adopted by governments - which would allow the world to heat by at least 2.7°C, says PIK Director Johan Rockström at #COP30. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Removing CO2 from atmosphere vital to avoid catastrophic tipping points, leading scientist says
10bn tonnes must be captured from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström

I legitimately think this article misses the mark, because Canadians are not avoiding travel out of some principled boycott of the USA over tariffs.
Canadians who are avoiding the USA are seeing images of masked government thugs kidnapping people and teargassing children.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

You don't have to be a bolshevik to support universal healthcare. Or a socialist. Just a decent human being who cares for other people and doesn't think that relieving suffering should depend on your ability to pay.
Michael Bennet: I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans as a right. There is no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half of the cost of care we are providing now.

The word "evil" is often overused to describe people with whom we disagree. But I can find no other word to describe ICE agents seizing a day care teacher in front of young children. At an age when teachers are beloved, they will be traumatized by this - and lose trust in adults. Evil.
