I care about the energy transition; Palestine; and the intersections of what falls in between.
True story: many of the people who are against this in Minneapolis, happily subsidize and cheer lead it when it happens on the other side of the world, viz www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

We are now The Donald J. Trump and America Memorial Center
Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Have you voted for the NDP? Donated to the NDP? Been a member in previous years?
You may have done all of these things, but that doesn't mean you're a member right now.
My own brilliant wife made the same mistake.
Watch Naomi's message, and make sure to become a member before Jan. 28!

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.
