Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks:

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Tragically, I fear this will be a natural consequence as rich get richer and poor get poorer especially as claims are denied and they lose loved ones.

Workers at the first unionized Chipotle are asking customers to boycott the chain.

When they formed their union they just asked for a $2 raise, consistent schedules and fully-staffed restaurants.

Two years later they have no union contract.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.

It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
World’s top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity, as “the shadow of global oligarchy hangs over UN General Assembly,” says Oxfam | Oxfam International

The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.

And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

Russia has been straining beyond capacity, militarily and economically.
Russian interests are facing setbacks (Syria) and challenges (Georgia, especially Ukraine).
And Russia is about to get thrown a miraculous lifeline by a sympathetic American president.
What a massive historical inflection point.
Russian economy in freefall. Georgians defying regime thugs. Putin-backed Assad rapidly losing territory. Russia suffering record daily losses trying to retake Kursk.

I hope people in Putin's satellite autocracies know that if there's ever a time to free themselves from Russian tyranny - it's now.
