I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead.
We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

Lessons to learn from US collapse: support local news, support investigative reporting, keep your public broadcasting going.
Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
I keep telling people not to come.
Do your teaching/seminars remotely.
Great review! Definitely want to read your book. Thank you. Just watched your conversation with Michael Steele - very enlightening. 👍👍
At home in the Canadian prairies, getting ready for whatever might come next.
Just watched this author interviewed by Michael Steele (The Bulwark). Very enlightening. It's what John Vervaeke might call "reciprocal narrowing." Very common in authoritarian brains, use of religion to brainwash/gain control/take power over.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."
I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
Do not come here to teach.

Dealing with a flare-up
Over the last two weeks I've written here and here about painful flare-ups and the little we know about them. This week I'm turning to how to manage them. Firstly, it's difficult to avoid flare-ups. They happen for so many reasons, can be quite unpredictable in terms of…
Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.
Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe:
100 percent tariffs on Tesla.
Luckily we all can cultivate and grow our critical thinking capacity, free ourselves from cults, big and small. Then extend the courtesy to others.
... we ALL are/have been socio-culturally regulated, just because we are humans and that's what our species does to its members no matter who you are or where you're from or what you do.
Fascinating conversation with lots of good advice for anyone dealing with people who have been socially engineered to believe BS of any sort; this includes all of us, because...
So this guy, Steve Hassan, was saved from being a Moonie in the 1970s. For several decades he has been a de-programmer for everything cult. This ex-trumple woman read his book and de-programmed herself.
