There is currently an enormous protest in the streets of Minneapolis in response to the murder there today by the American Gestapo, ICE. I take some comfort in this.

It is *obscene* that that beast wearing the skin of a man called Elon Musk was just awarded a trillion dollar pay-package after he personally signed the death warrant of hundreds of thousands of innocents earlier this year.
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The key takeaways are:

1) Carney is still popular

2) Poilievre is still alone in a room whining to the camera

3) Canada is doing just fine even with an imperfect government

The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them.

She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.

Not sure if anybody is upset at Charlie Kirk's death, but if needed, they can use his own words to console them.

He's a meaningless statistic in a gun epidemic.

His death means as little as the thousands of casualties who have already died for no purpose & no meaning.

This op-ed is extraordinarily authoritarian. Uses outright lies to justify illegal attack on Harvard and cruelty toward international students. A whiff of fascism. How could WaPo run this?

Pierre Poilievre is the only national leader in the history of Canada who refuses (or can't get) national security clearance.
He doesn't have a clue what he is talking about as he tries to stoke war in the Persian Gulf.
No wonder voters booted his arse out of Parliament.

"Don't regulate us, we're special," say tech bros who continue to rob artists of royalties owed while they rake in the cash for themselves, and contribute nothing to the ecosystem other than "exposure" that they manipulate.

Justice Sotomayor speaks for so many:

“The Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.

In sadness, I dissent.”
The SCOTUS decision in U.S. v Skrmetti is a devastating loss for transgender youth and their loved ones.

To the transgender community — you are not alone in this fight. We remain committed to ensuring all families can get the health care they need.

Today's Supreme Court ruling comes as anti-trans hatred has become inescapable for many families, even in liberal states.

These families say they are in survival mode, trying to find ways to protect their children from attacks on all sides.

This is just fear and cruelty. Transgender people are literally only 1% of the population. People can't even name a time when they engaged a transgender person let alone a single instance where they cause them any harm.

GOP spent $215 million on this manufactured panic.
Supreme Court upholds a state ban prohibiting some medical treatments for transgender youths in a 6-3 ruling that will undergird similar laws in more than 20 other states. @adamliptak.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
