The #BCLeg Canadian flag is flying at half-mast until sunset today to honour the life and memory of the late Hon. Murray Sinclair, CC, OM, MSC, in recognition of his immense contributions to Canada. The flag will again fly at half-mast on the day of the funeral (date TBA).

The political emergence of Rick Steves is one of the unexpected pleasures of this campaign.

Emotional Support Canadians… Assemble!!!

I’m so glad Amanda Held Opelt is tweeting out tonight.

Canadians are always politically bilingual: I’m sitting here parsing Wayne County, Michigan; Erie, PA and Maricopa, AZ. In a few months it’ll be: “Whoa, look at those returns coming in from Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar! What’s happening in Mississauga-Erin Mills?”

I can make a major projection tonight: the laundry will be flipped. ✅

Again?

Farewell, evangelicalism.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I’m a strong Canadian federalist. But hmmmmmmmmmmm………..

THREAD: The Lincoln Project accepts that America has voted to re-elect Donald Trump on his victory. We believe in this democracy and in the peaceful transfer of power when the voters have spoken.

Wanna join the new order even as you cosplay resistance? Lean into “Trump voters deserve the suffering coming to them.” Tell us how you’ll enjoy their pain. That? That’s fascism’s too. Fascism wants us to indulge sadistic urges. But nobody deserves fascism. Not even fascists.

A glorious day! The bells of Notre Dame in Paris rang this morning for the first time since the fire in 2019!

A towering figure who cultivated a “prophetic imagination” that nourished gentle, holy resistance to the violence and oppression of our empires. Rest in peace and rise in glory, Walter!

We are living through a dismal age, where anti-intellectualism is no longer hidden but paraded like virtue. A fascist monoculture thrives—dreary, mechanized, overrun by wooden stuntmen and podcast ventriloquists mouthing algorithmic bile.

Happy 5th 🎂 to a momentous work by Kristin Du Mez! Prior to this bombshell exploration of evangelicalism’s gendered militancy, Dr. Du Mez made time for me in her Grand Rapids office amid a busy day & I cherish our continued connection over the past few years. Congratulations!
