The election of EU representatives is separate from the election of representatives in parliament. Canada could end up like the UK was (in the good old days), with PR for the European elections and FPTP for its own national elections.
Maybe they can investigate whether the Earth is flat too, while they’re making such good use of people’s taxes.
Pierre Poilievre won’t even want to stand up to his role model.
There are two German tourists detained independently:

Nope, Ukraine would have kept all of its land had they accepted Putin’s offer in 2022. Even the status of Crimea was to be negotiable after 10-15 years.
Right, but Crimea is Ukraine’s land which Russia invaded and stole in 2014. So that’s not letting Ukraine have all its land is it? It’s letting Ukraine keep bits of land you haven’t stolen yet. Can you see how that might not seem very reasonable?
For Republicans, the more women get oppressed and hurt the better.
A plummet that takes time is really not in the traditional spirit of plummeting.
I just saw a CBS report that says 200,000 government employees have been fired already.
Oops, whoopsie, that was a lie.
The media will successfully deflect blame away from Trump’s government. These people are eager to believe any story except that they’ve been hoodwinked.
I suspect a lot of them wouldn’t even be able to understand what you’re doing or why. And that might make them slightly uncomfortable, so they’d judge you just in order not to have to think about it.
Is anyone keeping track of how many Americans Musk and Trump have directly made unemployed, even before the effects of economic slowdown kick in?
It just indicates that Trump doesn’t care what they think any more. He’s no longer trying to please voters. They have done their job and where he’s taking the USA, there won’t be voters. Besides, he knows they’ll always be with him when it comes to hurting people they don’t like. Expensive eggs won’t change their bigotry.
Even though Trump has now paused tariffs on some products until April, we’re still not about to spend a nickel to prop up the U.S. economy when its president has pledged to destroy ours. We don’t want to be doing any of this, and we know so many Americans who also wish none of this were happening. But this is our reality now.
Yep, that’s about it. But it’s not just our economy Trump has vowed to destroy, it’s our country.
The removal effort has sparked confusion, as some images appear to have been marked for deletion because their filenames contain the word “gay,” including those of service members with that last name and the Enola Gay, the Boeing B-29 aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb in combat during World War II.
The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities and it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months—such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women.
Images of historically significant military achievements or personnel, such as the Tuskegee Airmen and the first female Marine Corps infantry graduates, have been flagged for removal.
And a photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish—including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.
Those bits of the US Government that haven’t been dismantled by Musk and co. are spending their time and resources implementing a pointless policy of hatred towards ordinary Americans.
If ICE intercept someone trying to enter at a land border and they don’t want them in the USA, why don’t they just turn them around? Why do they imprison them for months at the US taxpayer’s expense?
I found this video interesting, about Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity and how it relates to Arendt’s investigation into what made Nazis do what they did. In brief, he characterises stupidity as not just ignorance, but ignorance that resists and is opposed to learning, and he said this stupidity could be a more damaging force than evil.
Can we make just one tiny exception for Bernie Sanders?
There’s a list of this and many other DOGE staff email addresses going around on BlueSky, including all Elon’s smug little DOGEshits.
This is what the fascists do: hijacking legitimate terms of discourse and abusing them so they become meaningless. It’s a deliberate strategy to subvert their opponents’ ability to talk about the issue by poisoning the terminology. See also what they’ve done with “fake news”, “critical race theory” and “DEI”.
