When voters like me say, "I'm voting for my daughter's freedom," we're not thinking of abortion rights, exactly. We are thinking of the lust to control that we see burning in the eyes of some men. We are voting to protect our daughters and granddaughters from THAT.

“Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s richest men, fears that one of his hundreds of companies might suffer financially under a Trump presidency unless he grovels before Trump. That’s all it takes to break Bezos: fear of losing a small slice of his obscene fortune. What a small and…

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

how dare you call America a sexist country when a competent qualified woman with no scandals is running tied with a convicted sex predator who attempted a coup on live TV

Iran, North Korea, and China have joined Russia’s war on Ukraine, and we’re getting “tired” of this aggression ? Time to double down. Ukraine belongs in NATO, the EU, and to be a free, sovereign country. Article 51 of the UN Charter allows it to defend itself, and allows any…

In Poilievre's Canada, the Prime Minister will value the Charter Rights of some Canadians over others. In Poilievre's Canada, the PM will rise in the House of Commons and call the accused a "dirt bag." Poilievre seems wholly unfamiliar with the principles of Criminal Justice.…

I just saw the huge new exhibit at the Pompidou chronicling the themes and personalities of the Surrealist movement, and recalled reading about it this summer in the New Yorker. Came home, vainly rooted through the pile of mags at my bedside. Anybody remember what issue it was?

I said this after Trump began characterizing journalists as "enemies of the people" and some lunatic marched into a Maryland newspaper office and murdered six people at random, including two of my friends: He is a terrorist. He metastizes hate and fear for power. We are now two…

BC Conservative candidate Sharon Hartwell says so-called “Freedom Convoy” anti-vaxxer organizers are “an inspiration” to her - is that a party position? 🫨 #bcpoli #vanpoli #canpoli

If I hear one more racist say “they’re invading our country” & “they don’t share core British values,” I’m going to remind them of how invading countries used to be a core British value

On this historic day, I want to tell you a story about Joe Biden, and what he did behind the scenes to make the historic 2022 gun bill - the first major gun safety legislation in 30 years - a reality. 1/ It starts with a phone call he made to me days after the Uvalde shooting.

I'm agnostic on whether Biden should step down. While he has clearly aged, he still seems discerning and in command of himself as a decision-maker. But that said, I will vote without hesitation for Harry Truman's head in a jar of formaldehyde over raw fascism. No problem.
