Passionate about social justice and its many intersections: social and economic equity, reconciliation. Voracious reader of (mostly) Canadian literature, with a strong interest in German language and culture. Dog lover. I amplify marginalized voices and boost a lot about politics, labour issues, environmental issues, books. I also look for beauty and some humour.
NPR (bot)President Trump faces mounting political pressure on multiple fronts, particularly when it comes to his handling of the war and the consequences it's having on the economy. #news #NPR https://www.npr.org/2026/04/03/nx-s1-5771684/trump-iran-war-gas-prices-bondi
Amy Diehl, Ph.D.Trump's approach: Blame the woman. Women working for Trump are set up on obvious glass cliffs. "He is not capable of blaming himself, and so he looked around for someone else to punish for his own failures. Pam Bondi was there."

Randahl FinkPutin’s man in the EU, Viktor Orbán, has 9 days left.
In the polls, the Hungarian opposition party Tisza is currently 10 points ahead of Orbán’s Fidesz party. So on April 12, Hungarians are very likely to vote him out of office.
Let this be a premonition of Trump’s fate.

Yes. The media, loving a conflict narrative, amplifies the voices of the few property-owners who are protesting Alto.
But guess what? A new Abacus poll shows broad, cross-party support for the project.
62% for, only 18% against...
🧵
Failing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has urged cancellation of the project—in spite of the fact that high-speed rail was CPC policy, and only 25% of Conservatives polled oppose it.
I dig into what's behind the attempts to make modern, sustainable transport (high-speed trains now run in 28 countries) into a Canadian culture-war issue in this High Speed dispatch:
