Highly recommend continuing listening to the extended version of this morning’s Commotion with @elamin.bsky.social after it wraps on the radio for the conversation about Canada’s “sovereignty over our political culture,” as Emile Nicholas describes it.

Right-wing agitators like Rebel "News" masquerade as journalists. Meanwhile, Poilievre says he'll defund CBC news reporting that he calls propaganda. And he'll cancel money for local journalism. What's the agenda here?

From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

This is now useful advice for Canadians, among others, who are traveling to the United States
I've cossed more international borders than most, been through checkpoints and searches and have trained human rights activists, journalists and others in staying safe in repressive regimes.
