Major development. Yermak has been with Zelensky since the beginning. He was Ze’s closest aide, often referred to as the grey cardinal, pulling the strings. That assessment is overstated, nevertheless Yermak was a key player and often sited as the nexus for graft. This will shakeup things up.

Perhaps the smartest #ClimateAction investment in cities is in public transit. While others make excuses, Paris is building a WHOLE NEW METRO NETWORK CONNECTING SUBURBS.

How can anyone think it's a good idea to run oil tankers through a body of water named the Hecate Strait?

Go ahead, try and brave an infamous, ship-wrecking cauldron named after combative necromancy in Shakespeare

Does Carney know anything about BC at all?

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

So either Trump spoke to Bolsonaro about plotting to escape to the US right before the latter got caught trying to saw off his ankle monitor, or Trump imagined a conversation he didn’t have. Both scenarios are incredibly dark
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:

- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”

- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

Massive expansion of the Gestapo kidnapping forces, now under way.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This column is titled “Out With Woke. In With Rage. There’s no reason for Carville to say anything about “woke” except as a signal to other white centrists that it’s ok to move left, but still leave Black people behind just like the New Deal did after the Great Depression.

Nilo Makela was from my home town. He was a leader fighting fascists in Spain.
Communists didn't trust Canadians because our boys didn't care much for ideology.
But they were tough anti-fascist fighters.
Nilo held the line on the Ebro River and died at 21.
We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Jeez. Trump reposted a call to execute six Democratic members of Congress, and it’s not on the front page of the NY Times, and this is the headline—no mention of hanging lawmakers.

Not one MAGA Republican has criticized the president’s repeated calls to murder six Congressional Democrats

Instead, they defended Trump-and attacked the Dems

FOR TELLING OUR TROOPS TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION

Apparently-according to the GOP-if you now follow the law you are committing sedition
Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."
