in a shocking turn of events, the exact fucking thing the native people of the region said would happen if the pipeline was built just fucking happened
This is actually the SECOND known leak from the Keystone pipeline, same thing happened in 2017 cnn.com/2017/11/16/us/…
Oh, and about that estimate of 210,000 gallons of oil getting leaked?

Six months later, TransCanada admitted that it was almost twice as much: 407,400 gallons smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/key…

The two-state "solution" was never viable, and it was never going to happen. Ever. The only solution is, and always has been, one state for Palestinians and Jews with equal rights for all and a guaranteed right of return for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
Kind of surprised Netanyahu isn't annexing more of the West Bank, but it's important to remember that this is a starting point-- this is only the beginning of full West Bank annexation
He hasn't said that openly of course, but come on, it's obvious that Israel won't just stop here.

OH COME ON
THEY’RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT
You might as well wave a banner that says “Sponsored by the U.S. State Department” at this point come on man they’re literally reusing tactics from 1989

This is one of those cases where the FBI finds a guy who's not too bright and then does a sting operation-- an FBI informant gives him the idea of doing an attack with weapons the guy would NEVER be able to find on his own, and then they arrest him and throw him in jail forever
I mean, come on-- a fucking anti-tank weapon? The FBI admits that the guy was acting alone, so there's basically no way he could've found that kind weaponry on his own without that FBI informant.
James Comey was a big fan of doing these stings during his time at the FBI (@ByYourLogic has talked about this a few times I think). It's one of the easiest ways to keep the whole "war on terror" grift going.

Through 20 innings of their #WorldSeries homestand the Nationals have been our scored 14-2 and have never led in a game. Incredibly demoralizing and a shocking turn of events from 96 hours ago, when this team was up 2-0 after wins in Houston. #STAYINTHEFIGHT
The Nationals have been so sad that I’m thinking about buying one of these
Wow! Overwhelming boos for Trump when he’s shown on the scoreboard at the Nats game. #WorldSeries

In response to this I've had some people say how their party (CPC, PSL, FRSO) actually *does* support Indigenous states, and that I'm wrong. Since I was specifically talking about the first two parties when I made this, I disagree. Will explain my position below if ppl care
I've already spent the time to point out my disagreements with the PSL's entire single paragraph on "self-determination" for Native people. A lot of my same disagreements that I have with the PSL apply to the other socialist organizations in the US or Canada.
For example, one disagreement I have with the PSL that applies to the CPC is that "full self-determination up to and including independence" makes no sense. If every Native nation wants independence, which wouldn't be a surprise in the slightest when you speak with Natives...

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

All right, folks, in a shocking turn of events that stunned the world, I got my column in early today, and at length. Thus, I have time for the tweetstorms burning holes in my pocket.

Let's start with Elizabeth Warren's "workplace democracy" plan: washingtonpost.com/opinions/ameri…
So first of all, you should go read this excellent piece by @hamandcheese on the problems with it, which touches on things I didn't have space for: like the tendency of workers to be extremely risk averse, prioritizing stability over innovation.
Sorry, link here: nationalreview.com/2018/08/elizab…

"Move fast and break things" has two characteristics: it's really unpleasant for the folks in the sector designated for breakage, and it's also why we are all hanging out on twitter instead of hand-looming our next shirt.

10 minutes late to #SECU and it's moving fast. Catching up. For those following, clause 109 of #c59 #cdnpoli
Conservative motion, similar to with #CSE, asking #CSIS to report annually on the costs incurred due to oversight. Both #NDP & #Liberals argue that this creates a new administrative burden. #NDP argues could be used to try & undermine new review & oversight bodies
Motion fails

Make NO mistake. The vipers are writhing in the sand again for something new.
2013. Just 1 year out of 10 under UPA. Rudimentary search reveals more than a dozen lynchings. Guess it was Hindustan then, not Lynchistan.
Don't care two hoots for the govt. They are as useless as their predecessor. But if you come after India with an agenda, I'll come after you
