I’m starting to think foreign ownership laws re Canadian media might need to be stricter and loopholes that allow the likes of Postmedia to operate might need to be closed.

Yikes! The National Post offering up a sanitized version of blatantly racist content and providing no important context to unsuspecting readers for fear they might find it repugnant.

Jamie Sarkonak: I read 'The Camp of the Saints.' Here's why it's relevant The novel, which was temporarily removed from Amazon this week, has long been condemned for its harsh critiques of mass migration

Canada's most syndicated newspaper, the National Post, published an overwhelmingly positive review of the infamously racist novel Camp of the Saints today. The book is a standard in white nationalist book lists and is nearly only sold by white supremacist publishers. nationalpost.com/opinion/jami...

“Consensual sex with a lot of people, when there is a strong power differential, as there is when you are a famous man who has the ability to attract women that I had at that time, I think involves exploitation. I think it is exploitative.”

The exploitation, the power imbalance is why this type of man likes it. At some level Brand knows this, and you can tell based on his own words.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics.

The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

General deterrence works when done right, and enforcing the law against the powerful is an important ingredient. So is swift and/or certain consequences.

There is something really creepy about this

This honestly both angers and scares me.

The damage is cumulative and has been building since the 1990s. Though it is not yet irreversible. But the advantages American citizens accrue from hegemony should not be taken for granted

It's always easy to dismiss the privileges gained from being a citizen of a hegemonic power before they are lost

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

in a lot of cases using third-party contractors isn’t even appreciably cheaper, but people have a strong bias against the creation of “government jobs”

Mamdani dissenting from the gospel of “private-sector efficiency” is an important development here, I think.

Can we please have some of this in Canada too

Also, willing to bet that when the same ppl say “Epstein files”, they mean Jews, not the likes of Trump.

I know that Julian’s not a smart guy but I really wish that people could understand that when conservatives say they want to take on billionaires, they mean Jews. They’ll tell you this if you ask!

This made me chuckle 🤭 esp “the Eye of Sauron” ref.

"Politics means striving to share power or striving to influence the distribution of power, either among states or among groups within a state."

― Max Weber, Politics as a Vocation

Yes please 🙏

Its especially irritating because the types most prone to it are usually so unbelievably insulated from consequences they feel no need to be accountable, which in turn inspires them to make yet more catastrophic errors.

One of the most frustrating parts of the human experience is people making what everyone with sense at the time knew to be obvious mistakes, then refusing to learn from or even acknowledge those mistakes.

There’s no point negotiating with someone who won’t respect his own trade deal, let alone wants to treat Canada as a vassal state.

Ottawa councillor wants to explore city-run grocery stores to improve food access An Ottawa councillor wants the city to explore the development of a municipal food strategy, including city-owned grocery stores to improve food access and tackle food insecurity.

The Mamdani effect has broken containment!!!

I think it's helpful to see it as code. Wind the clock back 80 years and "elite" = "intellectual", "cosmopolitan" or "globalist" = "Jew", woke = "race traitor", etc., etc. It's just 1:1 word substitution.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Equal On Paper As with "massive resistance" to Brown v. Board, Republicans today argue for a legal landscape where rights exist on paper but cannot be enforced.

“At the beginning of April, the conservative-dominated North Carolina Supreme Court put the final nail in the coffin of equitable education funding in the state.” www.liberalcurrents.com/equal-on-pap...

Schumer & Jeffries are probably locked in until after the midterms.

After the midterms, (assuming a blue wave 🤞), the most likely media narrative is:

"S & J strategies worked! Dems landslide!"

The *only* way to have a chance to replace them is to support Dem primary challengers.

i'm pretty sure this is the literal nightmare of every suburban republican
