@AnnaAnthro How does an 'extraordinary' legal mind not know about the monster? So disingenuous or blatant lies!!

Not a good look RCMP. But it sounds like in the main, they handled the situation ok even if they ran cover for a horrendous elected racist in Dallas Brodie.
Bravo to the people at UBC for making it clear that the agent-provocateur and hate-speech politician has no place, has no voice for her hateful rhetoric.
Residential school denialism *should* be a hate crime. The RCMP should be arresting Brodie, not protecting her hate propaganda tour.
Our Universities must be places of truth. Truths can be debated in context, but Brodie, like Charlie Kirk, isn't actually debating. No minds are going to be changed. No resolution found.
Dallas Brodie is only there to grab a headline and advance an extremist, regressive, and openly white supremacist agenda by advancing denialist views that dismiss truth and facts and calling it “anti-woke”.

i had the misfortune of being on X today and seeing Terry Glavin going on about a (paywalled) Blacklock report about a FOI request to the Canadian Gov that featured redacted information...
and a subsequent admonishment from the FOI ombudsman for keeping too much secret..... which anyone who has done even one FOI (i have done several) knows is par for the course....
but Terry, and Blacklock apparently, insist ThiS ProVes DA ChIEfs ARE LYING ABOUT DA Kids GraVES
Why are racists like Terry allowed to.....

When you get fired for posting offensive stuff the next thing you should always do is release an audio tape of you being fired and then complain loudly about it.
This always helps your situation and never backfires or solidifies people's already dim-view of your behaviour.

"Energy Dept. tells employees not to use words including 'climate change' and 'green' Energy Dept. tells employees not to use words including 'climate change' and 'green'
The Department of Energy has told employees to avoid using certain words including 'climate change,' 'green,' and 'sustainable,' according to an internal email sent to staff and obtained by NPR.
The details of the email were first reported by Politico. It was sent to employees of the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, which is the largest federal funder of clean energy technology. The office supports research about how to build homes and cars more efficiently, and helps fund research about renewable energy, including solar and wind power, hydrogen fuel cell technology and geothermal energy. It had a budget of $3.46 billion in fiscal year 2023.
The Energy Department denies that its employees were told to avoid using specific terms. 'There is no directive at the Energy Department instructing employees to avoid using phrases such as . . . President Trump and Secretary Wright remain committed to transparency and fostering an open, honest dialogue about climate science,' Department of Energy press secretary Ben Dietderich wrote in response to questions from NPR.
The email obtained by NPR instructs employees working on energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to avoid using about a dozen words and phrases, many of which are central to their work.
The banned phrases include:
• 'climate change,' which is primarily caused by humans burning oil, gas and coal
• decarbonization,' a common term in energy policy and research that refers to reductions in carbon dioxide pollution
• "clean energy,' which is often used to refer to solar, wind and other sources of electricity that do not rely on fossil fuels
• 'energy transition', which generally refers to the economy-wide shift away from oil, gas and coal that is already taking place as governments and corporations try to reduce planet-warming pollution
The email warns employees to avoid using the words in all parts of their work. The prohibition extends to the Energy Department website, internal reports and public documents, including those that describe federal funding opportunities."

"An irrational belief in irrational ideas usually leads to irrational results" - Futurist Jim Carroll
So let's try and figure out what's going on.
I took today's quote, fed it to ChatGPT, and got the picture above which I used for today;'s 'inspiration' image.
Look, in the last little while, I've looked into the Science of Stupidity, the Science of Mistakes, and The Science of Regret. So why not the Science of Irrational Decisions, which I learned is often referred to as "cognitive distortions." There's a lot to be found online to explain where we are. Charts and stuff that explain the many different types of irrational decisions aka cognitive distortions.
There's even a course or two to take on it.
It's a fascinating topic, and as expected, there's a lot of research to be found. It's a wonderful rabbit hole to plunge into because you will find such papers as
Overcoming Cognitive Distortions; How to Recognize and Challenge the Thinking Traps that Make You Miserable.That tracks. People seem to be pretty miserable right now because of the cognitive distortions they've gone through that got us to where we are today.
And, as might expected, there is to be a leadership / personal growth book about it, with the title Predictably IrrationalL: The Hidden Forces that Shape our Decisions, released back in 2008. It probably could use an update!So let's dig in, shall we? Let's talk about why folks make poor choices about big economic and political issues that end up hurting everyone.
Here's what the science tells us. When people vote against their economic interests or support harmful policies, it's rarely because they're stupid. Their brains just don't always work in their best interest when dealing with complex global systems. Why is that? Our brains take shortcuts. We use mental rules of thumb that help us make quick decisions. This works fine for everyday choices but fails miserably when considering trade policy, inflation control, voting, or healthcare systems.
What happens to people in this circumstance? They get emotional about political and economic issues. Fear, anger, and tribalism cloud their judgment. When someone supports tariffs that will ultimately hurt local businesses because they sound "tough on foreign competition" - that's emotional reasoning drowning out economic reality. It's cognitive dissonance, plain and simple.
The kicker is that the condition leads to great uncertainty, which fuels itself creating more uncertainty in a vicious spiral.
It's complex, folks, and there is no easy way out.
Buckle up.
Read the rest of the post.

THE OTHER THINK TANK:
While Heritage’s ill-fated #Project2025 has gotten all the headlines, another outside group has been quietly plugging away at transition efforts with much less fanfare.
The ♦️America First Policy Institute♦️ ( #AFPI )
has (smartly) avoided #Heritage’s braggadocio -- but has similarly done mountains of #unofficial #transition work while maintaining close ties to Trump:
#Linda #McMahon chairs the group’s board, and CEO #Brooke #Rollins is Trump’s former Domestic Policy Council director and has been personally in touch with the former president.Operating outside the Trump campaign,
🔸AFPI has interviewed more than 1,000 potential administration hires,
🔸drafted scores of executive actions Trump could quickly sign and
🔸solicited recommendations for the first 100 days of a second Trump term.“AFPI is not becoming the transition,” one insider told Hailey and Meridith. “But by virtue of how they are situated and that we are in a very late timeline for this work, AFPI and the transition may be a distinction without a difference.”
Not everyone is happy with the arrangement.
In GOP circles, we’re told, AFPI is seen less as a visionary policy shop than a #ragtag collection of operatives.
And Democrats will certainly seize on the group’s associations with 2020 #election #denialism and, a la Project 2025, their support for other #hard-#right positions -

Powerful conservative funds hand out #millions to pro-Trump far-right groups
Two powerful conservative non-profits have donated millions of dollars to a number of
pro-Trump groups led by key far-right allies
#Stephen #Miller,
#Charlie #Kirk
and others that have promoted election #denialism, #extremist anti-immigrant policies and legal challenges to bolster the #Maga movement.
Based in Wisconsin, the ♦️Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation♦️
and the ♦️Bradley Impact Fund ♦️in 2022 separately
doled out six- and seven-figure checks
to groups such as Miller’s America First Legal and Kirk’s Turning Point USA,
and other Trump-friendly bastions such as the #Heritage #Foundation and Michael Flynn’s #America’s #Future.Watchdog groups that track money in politics say the 🔥Bradley Foundation🔥
and the closely-tied 🔥Bradley Impact Fund 🔥
have become increasingly influential in funding the #Maga ecosystem in recent years as Trump is all but certain to be the Republican 2024 presidential nominee.

Mike Johnson’s groveling meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday:
It was a deeply weird affair. With Trump hovering watchfully over Johnson, the House Speaker said that in campaigning, he’s discovered that people across the country just happen to be thoroughly obsessed with precisely the same thing that preoccupies Trump.
“Everywhere we go, one of the first questions that people ask about is this issue of #election #integrity,” Johnson said.
The GOP remains as committed as ever to their disturbing post-insurrection denial path.
At least a dozen Republican incumbents or prominent candidates in competitive races are tainted with #election #denialism, some of it extremely serious or even #deranged.
These include representatives like #Scott #Perry of Pennsylvania, who was extensively involved in Trump’s coup, #Anna #Paulina #Luna of Florida, who co-wrote a children’s book falsely depicting the 2020 election as stolen, and #Derrick #Van #Orden of Wisconsin, who attended the Capitol rally on January 6.
Meanwhile, GOP Representatives #Mike #Garcia and #Ken #Calvert of California, and #David #Schweikert of Arizona, all voted not to certify Biden’s electors.
Representative #Jen #Kiggans of Virginia repeatedly fed doubts about the 2020 outcome.
Democrats view all these as key targets.
Then there are election-denying GOP candidates in other top-tier races, such as #Scott #Baugh in California, who refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory, #Joe #Kent in Washington State, who called for the rioters to be pardoned, and #Mayra #Flores in Texas, who spread crackpot January 6th conspiracy theories. That’s only a partial list.
Could this factor help tip the balance of the House? It’s not all that far-fetched a possibility.
Dave Wasserman, senior editor and elections analyst at Cook Political Report, suggests keeping an eye on the GOP primary underway in the district of Representative #Lauren #Boebert (who is running in another district).
That pits wild-eyed election denier #Ron #Hanks against a saner opponent.
If Hanks wins, Democrats have a “very good chance” of winning Boebert’s seat, Wasserman says.The upshot? As Wasserman notes, election denialism might end up mattering in only a limited number of races.
But, he adds, “the margin in the House is so close right now that even things like that could affect the outcome.”

If Hanks wins, Democrats have a “very good chance” of winning Boebert’s seat, Wasserman says.The upshot? As Wasserman notes, election denialism might end up mattering in only a limited number of races.
But, he adds, “the margin in the House is so close right now that even things like that could affect the outcome.”

Mike Johnson’s groveling meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday:
It was a deeply weird affair. With Trump hovering watchfully over Johnson, the House Speaker said that in campaigning, he’s discovered that people across the country just happen to be thoroughly obsessed with precisely the same thing that preoccupies Trump.
“Everywhere we go, one of the first questions that people ask about is this issue of #election #integrity,” Johnson said.
The GOP remains as committed as ever to their disturbing post-insurrection denial path.
At least a dozen Republican incumbents or prominent candidates in competitive races are tainted with #election #denialism, some of it extremely serious or even #deranged.
These include representatives like #Scott #Perry of Pennsylvania, who was extensively involved in Trump’s coup, #Anna #Paulina #Luna of Florida, who co-wrote a children’s book falsely depicting the 2020 election as stolen, and #Derrick #Van #Orden of Wisconsin, who attended the Capitol rally on January 6.
Meanwhile, GOP Representatives #Mike #Garcia and #Ken #Calvert of California, and #David #Schweikert of Arizona, all voted not to certify Biden’s electors.
Representative #Jen #Kiggans of Virginia repeatedly fed doubts about the 2020 outcome.
Democrats view all these as key targets.
Then there are election-denying GOP candidates in other top-tier races, such as #Scott #Baugh in California, who refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory, #Joe #Kent in Washington State, who called for the rioters to be pardoned, and #Mayra #Flores in Texas, who spread crackpot January 6th conspiracy theories. That’s only a partial list.
Could this factor help tip the balance of the House? It’s not all that far-fetched a possibility.

CW: Long thread/2
The American #neoliberal malaise - celebrated in by "centrists" who insisted that everything was fine and nothing could be changed - didn't just lead to a sense of helplessness, but also *hopelessness*. #Denialism and #nihilism are Siamese twins, and the YOLO approach to the #ClimateEmergency, #covid mitigation, the housing crisis and other pressing issues can't be disentangled from the Thatcherite maxim that #ThereIsNoAlternative.

CW: Covid, climate, denial
I've recently been confronted with how unprepared we really are for #ClimateCollapse. My workplace has been organizing an in-person event that was recently rescheduled due to #ClimateDistruption (nevermind that #CovidIsNotOver and there are new variants on the rise 🙄). Instead of using this as an opportunity to think about the future of our work and #ClimateChange, everyone is making pithy statements about how this disaster is such a tragedy, but no one is making the connection that these tragedies are going to keep happening and we can't just continue working as though the world hasn't changed.
More and more, the work I do feels so meaningless, especially when it depends on continued #Ecocide and furthering a #pandemic by hosting all sorts of events that require people to fly, using up #FossilFuels and spreading #COVID.

Obama citizenship denial or #birtherism is a phenomenon that began during the 2008 US Presidential campaign as an attempt to discredit Barack Obama by claiming that he was not born in the United States or that his father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth and that being born in the US is a requirement for being elected President.The bogus suspicion was initially shopped around to the media by aides to Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and then spread by bitter Hillary Clinton supporters who opposed the concession of the Democratic nomination to Obama and taken up by the usual far-right conspiracy theorists.
