Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

First-past-the-post means guardrails like freedom of information & independent riding redrawing are just an honour system, relying on 40% majorities not to scrap them when inconvenient.
Proportional representation adds a vital check by requiring broad consensus for any changes.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..
Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.
Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.
And here we are.
So much of this could have been prevented if the men in the Epstein files had been prosecuted instead of protected.

"Israel’s Latest Genocide Is Against the Shias of Lebanon. Why Is the World Silent?"
Lebanon’s Christians are being told by the Israeli military to get rid of any displaced Shias hiding in their homes or villages. Haven’t we seen this story before, and don’t we all know how it ends?

The CPP is investing the pensions of 22 million Canadians in companies propping up ICE — the agency that kidnaps people off the street, separates families, violates due process, and targets people of colour.

🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: openmedia.org/StopC22-bsky #BillC22
They used AI.
AI got it wrong.
Screenshot of a The Globe and Mail opinion article by Andrew Coyne titled “A minority government is best suited to manage Canada in a crisis.” Below the headline is a photo of politicians in the House of Commons, with one speaking and another seated behind him. The visible text argues that majority governments often do not represent a true majority of voters, noting recent governments formed with less than 40% support. It states that minority governments have produced important policy achievements because legislation must be negotiated rather than imposed, leading to more durable, broadly supported outcomes.
As @acoyne.bsky.social writes in The Globe and Mail, minority governments often deliver more legitimate, negotiated outcomes.
So why do we keep producing false majority governments with less than 40% of the vote?
Proportional representation would make cooperation the norm.
I'm sure that if Israel were to be disarmed and rejected US/Western backing there would be peace in the middle east and that the Arabic speaking people would be far more generous to Israel than what Israel are to their Muslim brothers and sisters
“Crush” videos—depicting animals being killed or tortured by burning, drowning, or crushing them—are being produced here in Canada & need to be stopped. Urge the House of Commons Justice Committee to strengthen this bill & protect vulnerable animals! 🐱🐰
