Society is for the elite first; until the elite decide differently. The elite won’t decide differently, so we must vanquish the elite if we want justice. Of course, we’ve done this already, just ineffectively. And the elites learned, as one would expect. What is effective?

There's been a lot of noise about Musk's promotion of the racist, fascist, terror-normalising Citizens Vigilante film. Very little on his boosting of a speech by Tommy Robinson, hosted by a Nazi-linked group, calling for half of all British Muslims to be ethnically cleansed

Happy Canada Day. One thing about Canadians that Americans never Understand is we love our country as much as we love the world, our lonely blue planet. There is no contradiction between proud Canadians and nurturing Earthlings.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

It’s so disgusting watching these guys pretend to be shocked by a well established long term status quo which has proved to be a great benefit to our entire society.

Italy’s Meloni on EU:

It is clear that being a major commercial or regulatory platform is no longer enough.

We need strategic autonomy, industrial capacity, technological sovereignty and financial power.

Europe must be ready to use its geopolitical and geoeconomic strength.

Nicolas Cage revealed he blew his $150,000,000 fortune on real estate

‘Over invested in real estate the market crashed before I could get my money out and I ended up writing a check totaling roughly $6,000,000 to clear my debt rather than declaring bankruptcy’

‘I own a pet African Crow and a black lizard dragon,then I moved to tax free Las Vegas and I worked non stop making 3-4 movies a year’

‘Work was always my guardian angel,even if the movie was crumbling I’m not phoning it in’

DeLorey: Does [Pierre Poilievre] want to be prime minister or does he want to continue with who he is? Because right now, who he is will not be prime minister.

McGowan: Every single country in the World Cup has universal health care except us. That's not a far left position.

Carney: This is a real referendum. It's not, you know, a question about a question, free option. It's a dangerous bluff. We're literally at 10 years anniversary of Brexit ... and you see what's happened in the United Kingdom. It's very reminiscent.

As it turns out, the killer (to judge by his manifesto) was an incel. Mulroney's tweet was wildly irresponsible but in keeping with Canadian elite media.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

This is completely unhinged behavior from Espaillat backers.

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

Perhaps we should have long interregnums between Prime Ministers of a year to eighteen months, like vicars in the CofE, while a succession of volunteers divide the Prime Ministerial responsibilities between them as best they can

[Canadian Future Party @cdnfutureparty]

Separatism is a parasitic movement taking advantage of legitimate woes and opening Canada's doors to a flood of danger.

Democracy takes constant work and Canada is worth every ounce of effort we've got. Let's get back on track.
