Dear Canadians:
Please, please, from the bottom of my heart, please vote in today's election. Take it from a USian. Polls can get it *very* wrong, high turnout does *not* mean your side is winning. You can lose an election you thought you had in the bag. Your vote is more needed than you know.
The above plea goes triple for anyone who may happen to be in Ontario's Carleton riding. ( https://globalnews.ca/news/11149672/poilievre-rallies-carleton-reports-could-lose-seat/ )
I am not allowed to vote. I hope in the next election, I will be able to.

Data strike
We need a data strike
AI and Big Tech feed on our data. If we take our data away then we can seriously slow Big Tech's capacity to devour our environment.
We need a data strike.

@MariaHill John Lithgow --> 20 Lessons on Tyranny
Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life.

Interesting that House Homeland Security Chair Rep. Mark Green is so concerned about not spending taxpayer money on a CODEL to investigate abuse of prisoners rendered to El Salvador, but not about the American tax money being spent to imprison them there in the first place.

Folks: Trump's attack on Powell is not new. He did that in first term. He did it in Jan; there was a standoff where he said he would not fire him right away. Bessent already suggested he would replace him before end of term). But it 1) will only further panic markets 2) might give SCOTUS pause.

We're not seeing it in the US media, but Israeli war crimes are continuing unabated in Gaza, including intentional targeting of journalists and humanitarian aid workers.

#ICE has swept up a natural born citizen. He is ESL (first language: Tzotzil) and of indigenous Mexican heritage. He made the mistake of traveling from (checks notes) Georgia to Florida.
UPDATE: He's been released.
