This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

"Because we see our democracy's in real trouble. We see a president who has made himself a king and dictator." "We're disgusted and we're scared, and we know the only way to fight this now is for the people to come together." - @markruffalo.bsky.social on why he's at the #NoKings event in NYC

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

The global forestry industry in its current form is nothing but a crime enterprise, destroying nature on an almost inconceivable scale for profit. Reversing ecological breakdown means recognising and confronting that reality.

Unfortunately we practice the same here in British Columbia. Massive stands of old growth forests are decimated leaving scarred stumps as far as the eye can see. “We’ll replant, no worries.” Spindly trees does not a forest make. It’s heartbreaking. No one listens.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Canada and the US had a diplomatic standoff that's gone largely under the radar. Carney and Trump faced off on who would call who first. Trump caved in and lost when he saw Canadians moving their business to the EU. This makes the US look even weaker as they initiated the stand off. #cdnpoli

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

You can control where your dollars go and who you associate and do business with. Paul Weiss has decided to bend the knee and be a complicit partner to this authoritarian Trump regime. Fine. Shame them, mock them, abandon them. Invest in the law firms who stand up for democracy and rule of law.

In Iqaluit, I met with Nunavut Tunngavik and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami to discuss our work ahead, including building more homes, energy projects, and infrastructure faster in the North. We can and will grow a stronger economy across the North — and we’ll do it in partnership with Indigenous Peoples.
