So awful Alberta Premier Danielle Smith cynically courts separatists and other alt-right extremist voters for her political benefit to leverage the rest of Canada with the threat of separation, and now those separatists don’t want ANY deal with Canada.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.

Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree.
A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.
Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

Today on Volts: the subset of cleantech known as "electrotech" -- solar, batteries, heat pumps, etc. -- is marching toward inevitable victory, not because it's low-emissions (though it is), but because it's more efficient & cheaper. I discuss the good news with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.

I can attest to the small glimpse I had of this when I had Lyme disease. There’s a core group of folks (I was one) who had a tick bite that gave us a bacterial disease that cleared up after a while with medications. Unpleasant and sometimes severe, but defined. And then there was another cohort…
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

So it's impossible he can believe his own nonsense here & disregard what history tells us & what we know.
This "surrender framework" is because Trump/Vance are impotent - unable to get Putin to even agree to a ceasefire for 8 months.

The story we tell ourselves about that fact CAN change-- but we need to be real careful to not try to shift it to a story about how what we endured "doesn't matter" or "wasn't that bad."
