One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

‘This Is Just a Plan to Cheat, Pure and Simple’ | The Tyee The UCP is spiking an independent Electoral Boundaries Commission report and rigging the next vote.

Alberta’s #UCP government served notice in the legislature Thursday it intends to toss out the entire report of the 2025-26 Electoral Boundaries Commission.

This is unprecedented as far as electoral boundary commissions go, but not a complete surprise, writes @djclimenhaga.bsky.social. #abpoli

Trump’s DoorDash Grandma isn’t a plant — the truth is much darker Sharon Simmons made $22,000 last year — her boss made $313 million

DoorDash Grandma isn't a paid plant. (For that, you need to be paid!) Instead, her story is far worse.

She's a depressing example of how MAGA cultists have internalized the lies that justify their own oppression.

An analysis.

Expert insight: Why Canada should avoid Australia’s teen social media ban Instead of a ban, the focus should be on education for teens navigating the online world, and stopping the spread of problematic and hateful content.

This was a good piece by researchers at Western that argues for exactly that - a "safety by design" approach rather than a ban. news.westernu.ca/2025/12/expe...
