It was never about Hamas' leaders, just like it was never about the hostages. This is a war of extermination.

What the funny lady said
Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

"If the Israeli plan comes to fruition, the entire population of the Gaza Strip would be crowded into about 19 percent of its territory."

That includes areas "designated by the IDF as places where civilians would be in danger."

When you cut your revenue, eventually you must cut services.

This is the conservative way.
Effective August 1st, we’re cutting tolls on the Confederation Bridge from $50 to $20 — and cutting fares on all interprovincial ferries in half in Atlantic Canada.

Canada’s new government is bringing down costs and building one strong, Canadian economy.

Pretty forceful statement, from a very interesting coalition of countries, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and rejecting Israel's plans to start clearing out Gaza.

The United States is a threat to global peace and is actively dismantling any semblance of an international rules-based order through its own actions and its continued backing of Israel’s lawlessness.

You can’t shout “peace!” after attacking a sovereign country in violation of international law.

because political opinion and support reflects social relationships and dynamics, not individual policy preferences or values or individuals' assessment of their material conditions
The central puzzle in American politics is why Republicans continue to win elections despite pursuing deeply unpopular policies.
The simplest explanation is that issue positions don't matter nearly as much as we like to think they do.

Universal healthcare should be a basic human right

Affordable housing should be a basic human right

Clean air and water should be a basic human right

Access to healthy food should be a basic human right

No one should be forced to live in legislated poverty when we could easily provide for all

Most people are far closer to becoming disabled and/or homeless than they realize.

All it takes is one accident, infection, virus or stroke of bad luck.

Your life can change in an instant, and no one is the exception.

You can’t “try harder” your way out of it, and it’s not a personal failing.

#BillC2, the so-called Strong Borders bill is a Trojan horse that contains a new law that allows the gov’t to order backdoors in the communications infrastructure you use every day. This is the part of the "border bill" you haven't heard enough about.

We should understand who the giants of American history are, at a time when history and American democracy are both under attack, and Sumner was one of those giants.
I’m so excited to announce that my book was published today! The book retells the life of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator who co-framed the Reconstruction Amendments. I wrote this book with my blood, sweat & tears as a student at Yale Law School. (1/x)
