“It’s time for a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in your communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.”

What's old is new. At one time, long ago, that was Labour.

Doesn't sound like they are:

Japan’s far-right populist Sanseito party was one of the biggest winners in the weekend’s upper house election, attracting many voters with its “Japanese First” platform that included calling for tougher restrictions on foreigners and the curtailment of gender equality and diversity policies.

Current Israeli policy is like that of the Nazis in that both are genocidal. It's insane to call this true statement antisemitic.

Republicans are bringing that dream closer every day.

And a slightly sticky book of Hitler's speeches.

Can you translate?

Even without including airports, two thirds of the US population lives within this 100 mile border zone.

Two countries, two water stories:

The reason there hasn't been a coup is that they actually are weak, and like to cower behind an authoritarian leader who will do the things they daren't.

Meh, Obama was never the left-winger the USA needs. He's very much a centrist Democrat, and his coup wouldn't fix the problems. That said, it would be significantly better than MAGA fascism.

You still can't have Canada though. But if you're nice and promise not to annex the country, we might let you in.

The removal of democratic checks and balances has been furthered by every president since Reagan.

It's like climbing a mountain. It always looks quite doable from ground level. Only when you're two thirds of the way up and exhausted, and another peak has just come into view and the sun is setting and there's a storm rolling in, do you realize why other people chose not to do this. If you survive you'll put it behind you and have the same idea again next week.

The client hating it just means you're smarter than them and should press on to help them outgrow their ignorance. It's a good sign.

Do you work for Apple?

Feucht, who unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Congress as a Republican in 2020, is also a missionary and an author who has spoken out against the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion rights and critical race theory on his website.

This can be shortened to "Feucht is an asshole."

I was really pleased when places here in Canada started doing this. A close family member is trans, and I really felt their pain when going to a public toilet where we had to stand in a line for men or for women. That stuff can make every bathroom visit fraught, especially with the expectation that men will stand next to each other to pee. I even hate that as a cis man. Far better for everyone to form one line with no questions asked and have a private stall.

This is what shows all their stated justifications are BS. They simply fear and hate trans people and will do whatever it takes to make their lives more difficult. Weird bathroom rules are just a good opportunity to make trans people suffer. All the nonsense about fairness and privacy is just after-the-fact justification.

It then mentions that the underlying issue was independently reported to Google by another researcher in early 2023. So they have had more than two years.
