Withdraw to your 1967 borders. Then we talk.

It’s restricting access to nationality by emergency decree. Ask any European with a memory of the 20th century why that’s as classic fascist as it gets.

Whether Italy has or doesn’t have “too loose” laws, should not be something an emergency decree should decide. It’s something that should be debated democratically, with public consultation and input from all those concerned, including of course the Diaspora because, guess what, they’re citizens. Then there should be an actual vote in parliament and the senate and if it touches on constitutional rights, it should pass the threshold of constitutional reform.

That’s what democracies do. Fascists pass emergency decrees.

However, a law introduced on March 28 last year by emergency decree states that …

That’s where the discussion should have ended. Fascists love passing consequential laws by decree don’t they?

In the meantime China invests in the electric future. Turns out stupidity is not an American monopoly.

Enjoy your quagmire.

If you knew about it already you would know that the judge is Canadian.

They don’t have a pro-russia stance.

Also, one must distinguish between soft and hard euroscepticism. Being against the fiscal-conservative monstrosity that the EU has become is not the same as being against the idea of Europe per se.

I would use the word “indignant” rather than “angry” to signal constructive anger, that is not about venting steam but about changing structures.

We need more tech unions and tech coops.

They will rehire for less. The AI hype is just a wage suppression scheme.

Are you suggesting that the official political position of the palestinian leadership is not to ethnically cleanse palestine?

YES.

The PLO/Palestinian Authority accepted the two state solution in 1988 and signed the Oslo accords in 1993. Hamas accepted the 1967 borders in its 2017 charter.

That’s the official position of both entities that can lay claim to the word “Palestinian leadership”.

So what the actual fuck are you talking about?

PS. The Knesset voted in 2024 to formally oppose any Palestinian state. So there’s your formal positions of your “both sides”. Not politics and rhetoric, OFFICIAL POSITIONS.

The Palestinian state famously in existence in the last 100+ years and famously expelling and persecuting their Jewish population.

Using light sabres and expeliarmus spells, while lead by the Dovahkiin Nazgûl, Indiana Jones and Drizzt.

When you both-sides genocide, at least get your fucking facts straight.

Meh, disappointing.

As of like a week ago, members of congress apparently have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits to federal immigration detention facilities.

Americans: call your Democratic member of congress and demand that they visit facilities such as this every single fucking day until conditions improve.

I don’t pretend to know anything about international finance. I’m repeating what I’ve heard.

Excellent article. Good to see parts of the European centre-left stirring.

It gives us a “nuclear button” where we can threaten with massive sell-offs that could tank the value of US bonds. To counter it they would have to basically raise interest rates and/or print money. Sure it would hurt us too, but not before hurting them more. Now if you also place this in a context of coordination with other debt owners (Europeans, Chinese), we can really hurt them.

But isn’t this also leverage?

We need to break the back of far right organizing in the military. This is not a joke, it’s an existential threat to our democracy.

Beyond dishonourable discharges of fascists (and banning them from joining any kind of armed force, eg police in the future), we need a serious and aggressive EDI recruitment policy. I know that the MAGAs and the Poilievrites use EDI as a slur. Which is EXACTLY why we should make it a core tenet of army recruitment. Disgust them, keep them out. And in the meantime, train a new generation of Canadian professional soldiers that are comitted to our constitutional multiculturalism and are as diverse as Canada.
