I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions.
This is such a huge story.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Great look at the problems with "growth pays for growth," which mostly come down to making it more expensive to build all of the new housing we need to be adding.
Very proud and a bit nervous to share About Here’s latest video “The Housing Tax Crisis” with @smallhousing.bsky.social. This script took months of research and a bit of me losing my mind but I think it ultimately tells a profound story about our housing crisis today.

Sean Kelly nails it. ‘Choice’ favours only those who already have choice (aka the rich). www.smh.com.au/national/bot...
Both sides of politics are focused on one group of voters
The parties are rolling out policies on education, healthcare and housing. But they’re persuading voters that “choices” are more important than “equality”.

Canada needs a simple and consistent way to discern between bad-faith propaganda outlets and people who do journalism, or this is going to continue to get worse.
This isn't about left versus right. You can do good journalism from a conservative perspective. It's about your goals and processes.
