Reports suggesting that the situation on the Estonian-Russian border is becoming tense are exaggerated. There is a road in South-East Estonia that briefly crosses into Russian territory. Locals are permitted to use it without stopping. On Friday, we observed seven armed Russian…
And yet also this... Sigh. Honestly can't always tell the difference between incompetence and intentional with this administration.
UPDATE: The Trump administration today scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.
Friday night massacre. The CDC just lost dozens of its top scientists and its entire D.C. office. This isn’t streamlining the government - it’s dismantling our ability to detect and respond to outbreaks before they spread. You can’t cut your way to safety.
We went from “what good are the humanities?” to “suddenly, no one can read” in about a year, and it's no coincidence that we're suddenly awash in misinformation and lack of critical thinking. This is WHY we need the humanities. This is what they prevent.
“What are you reading at University?” has become “Are you reading at University?”
So,Scott Moe and Danielle Smith says it's not BC's coast it's Canada's coast. Fair enough,but then can we say it's not Alberta's oil and gas, it's Canada's oil and gas. Maybe it's Canada's potash, not Saskatchewans. I'm happy they recognize we all share and prosper in this.
Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?
So right now in America you can get fired for directly quoting Charlie Kirk, but you can keep your Fox News talk show when you suggest the U.S. homeless population should be euthanized. Got it.
Ari Cohn, counsel at @TheFIREorg, reacts: "The government pressured ABC — and ABC caved. The timing of ABC's decision, on the heels of the FCC chairman’s pledge to the network to “do this the easy way or the hard way,” tells the whole story. Another media outlet withered under…
We all know disinformation in health care is problematic. Statements in a recent government news conference reminded us we need to help clarify for Albertans where certain accountabilities really rest. It’s time for another Fact Checkup.
This exchange.👇
The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.
Buying and controlling media platforms. Firing commentators. Canceling shows. These aren’t coincidences. It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous. The @GOP does not believe in free speech. They are censoring you in real time.
.@AbDanielleSmith Let me fix that for you. Even though there never was an issue with non-citizens voting, as they aren’t on the list of electors, my rabid political base demands that I invoke some discriminatory nativist policies aimed at marginalizing newcomers, so here we are.
NEW: Alberta will be the first province to add a Canadian citizenship marker to driver’s licences and ID cards, strengthening Alberta’s election system and protecting the integrity of our democratic process by ensuring that only eligible citizens cast ballots. This change will…
Funny, 6 months ago a guy looking exactly like him flew to Munich to lecture Europeans about free speech, saying 'you can't force people what to think' even if it's 'hateful content.' Strange how some twins can have such diametrically opposed principles.
Truly insane. If Barack Obama had said you should call the employer of anyone cheering Trayvon Martin’s murder it is all conservatives would talk about for decades.
Vance: "When you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out — and, hell, call their employer."
By now, you’ve probably seen these propaganda banners sprouting up on federal buildings. We’ve uncovered how much these banners cost through never-before-seen documents. And why they’re illegal: (Thread 🧵)
Historian here this was exactly the Nazi playbook, politicize and control the teaching of history and destroy academic freedom and institutions of higher learning.
BREAKING: President Trump is now turning America’s museums into his own personal propaganda outlets. The White House is planning a sweeping review of every Smithsonian exhibition, material, and operation ahead of the 250th anniversary, all to make sure they reflect TRUMP's…

If only there was some kind of government agency assigned to monitor and give advance warning. Something like a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That would be a great agency to fund well and never gut it's funding to give early warning to save lives in these…
