The state of independent political commentary, particularly on YT is ABYSMAL. It’s as CLICKBAITY and HYPERBOLIC as Fox News and other right wing outlets.
It really feels like a race to the bottom.

It’s the result of a systemic lack of funding for public education over the past 45 years.

Watching JD Vance desperately try to chime in, get ignored, and be reduced to laughing at Trump's shitty jokes is truly, astonishingly bitchless behaviour.

Trump wasn’t saying “I don’t know” in response to whether he needed to uphold the constitution. He was saying “I don’t, no.”

I don’t think there’s a lot of new debate as to why people stayed home, but @charlieangus104.bsky.social post this morning gives us a good sense of how the NDP can rebuild itself in time for the next one by engaging folks more directly than parties are doing now.

And, as of now, Trump has erased 12 months of market gains. The FO phase is really going to hurt.

True - and yet the effects of the stock market will have an effect on folks anyways, through increased prices and layoffs (gotta make up that per-share earnings shortfall somehow!).

On the way home from the ferry today, I saw a small but intrepid group protesting at the Tesla dealer on Scott Rd. in Surrey. Honked and waved in support. #elbowsup my friends.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.
Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.
