MAGA is cruelty. They revel in it. It fuels them. They made such a fuss about Hillary calling them "deplorables", but that really didn't cover it, did it?
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Canada has already come to the same realization as Germany, here:
America isn't the way it is because Trump is president; Trump is president because of the way America is.
When Trump goes, very little will return to the way things were, and I don't think this has dawned on Americans yet.

Europeans (except Germans) tend to think the continent can ride out Donald Trump, and that once he is no longer president US foreign policy towards Europe will return to how it was before

He's also building a roadmap to Canada's low-carbon future. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney just picked his lane on climate change
For all the recent talk about pipelines, it's clear that Mark Carney's economic strategy revolves around turning Canada into one of the world's leading electro-states.
