JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible
what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...
Tony McQuail and NDP leadership candidates at a microphone
The Liberals voted against proportional representation and electoral reform at their Convention today.
A few weeks ago at the @ndp.ca Convention, all five leadership candidates stood together to help us pass a resolution supporting proportional representation.

Many Jewish and even Israeli thinkers including Yuval Noah Harari warned about this very thing.
Pot calling the kettle black when the whole damn kitchen is covered in soot.
We didn't deserve this day.
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
Masterful gambit, sir.
Beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing.
Canada was late to call out the Rwandan genocide too. Just ask Roméo Dallaire.
What's stopping them from literally chaining themselves to the entrance until it's called back? If this isn't a moment that calls for extreme action, then nothing is.

Because we all need something amazing today.

They’re futile until they’re not. Nothing will change without effort, as much and as often as required. Literally look around the world for inspiration.
Tens of thousands of Iranians did the same in January, and thousands died or were imprisoned. Americans really don't understand the meaning of sacrificing for higher ideals.
Enjoy the second genocide then.
they really said "they should have sent a poet"
Imagine playing this clip for Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979.
The "Dean scream"
Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran's government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country's energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!" Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement. "Praise be to Allah," he added, before signing off in all caps.
The @nytimes.com literally rewrote Trump’s post by removing the obscenities and chose not to note that attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime:
I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
The president swearing and praising Allah on Easter Sunday, threatening to obliterate a country. Did American evangelicals get everything they wanted?
actual nytimes headline FEMA Official Says He Teleported to Waffle House. Experts Are Dubious.
you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides
the nytimes:
I am sickened by the NYT and others normalizing Trump’s threat to bomb Iranians “back to the Stone Ages” as simply a sign of a possible “expansion” of the war. It’s a barbaric statement, promising horrific war crimes. Everyone should be appalled.
From Bloomberg: “The world’s most important price for real-world oil barrels surged above $140 on Thursday, the highest since 2008.
Dated Brent, the price of shipments bought and sold in the North Sea, reached $141.37, surpassing levels seen when Russia invaded Ukraine.”

She's the most useless MP ever. Doubt she'll even respond.
It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.
A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.
We are completely lost.
I'm not sure there's a single trait in rulers that is more universally criticized in the canon of western political thought that susceptibility to flattery.
The favorite president of west coast Straussians and various other avowed Western Civilization Defenders *brags* about it.
How do we get off this insane merry-go-round? I'm so tired.
So very sad, but I’m glad he hung on long enough to see his son succeed in his federal party leadership bid.
In Doug Ford's Ontario not paying your $6 GO Transit fare is a $200-500 fine but doing 80 km/hr in front of a school is for all practical purposes free & legal.
