A network of YouTube accounts is promoting U.S. annexation to Albertans, researchers say. It has 40M views Flagged as a "potential covert influence operation" in a new report, those behind the network are tough to trace.

200,000 acres of Native Hawaiian land. 100 years of federal trust obligation.

Trump's move: reclassify them as a racial group, not a tribal nation. Same land. New legal category. Zero obligation.

That's not a budget cut. That's a legal erasure. #taxtherich

The Strange Death of Orbánism Franz Pokorny

Reform to tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says Election pledges say Reform would ask museums to present history chronologically.

"Reform's manifesto for the Senedd election says the party will tell museums how to display history if it wins, saying they will present events in chronological order and "in context"."

So, History Reclaimed but in government.

History without rigour, compassion, or reflection.

Few people have missed the boat on the climate transition as badly as US automakers. Every move they've made has been wrong, and now they're doomed. We should study the brains of their CEOs, for posterity.

Lol... let's check in in 6 months to see if Doug the grifter has really sold the private jet that he used taxpayer's money to purchase.

Trump avoided punishments for his post-2020 abuses, but many of his lawyers did not For the attorneys who helped fuel the president’s efforts to remain in office, the consequences have been severe. Take John Eastman, for example.

And they remain mystified as to why it's so hard for them to find real lawyers who will work for him...

Giuliani: disbarred

Chesebro: disbarred

Clark: facing possible disbarment

Opinion | The Warmongers Are Getting History All Wrong As in Thucydides’ time, the Trump administration’s war posture promises short-term gains but long-run disaster.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“The Trump administration’s relentless bullying ignores a central lesson from classical antiquity: Athens’s shift from benevolent hegemony to malevolent empire paved its road to ruin,” Stewart Patrick writes.

It’s never about good fiscal management. It’s always about using tax money to help make somebody rich

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.

Power to pardon crimes, power over justice department, power to choose SC justices, power to gerrymander, etc. Other democracies don’t give their leader these powers. Trump is a king because he exploited it to an extreme but it was always there. Division of power was always just a courtesy

The founding fathers shaped the American presidency as a mirror of European monarchy. Over the past 250 years, Congress and the SC have failed to update it. So it’s still a monarchy.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
