- Reposted by Julie MacArthur 🍁📢 For the first time in over a decade, Canada has been shamed at #COP30 as the “Fossil of the Day” — the most dishonourable award given during COPs to the countries “who are the best at being the worst and doing the most to do the least.” Read our press release: shorturl.at/hSGvm

The Biden administration issued a rule mandating that, when temps exceed 80F, employers must provide water & rest breaks. The O&G industry is lobbying Trump to reverse the rule.

- That was quick since polls just closed in BC 45 mins ago! Lots of internal conversations in CPC tent to come and likely big uptake in conspiracy narratives. Looking devastating for NDP.

- NJ Senator Cory Booker is now at 17 hours of his filibuster. It is epic. As he says 'it is time for good trouble- for necessary trouble'. Will this fix everything? No. But its an inspiring example using any lever to gum up the works and hopefully inspire more to do the same. 👏👏@booker.senate.gov

- Excellent piece. "What all this underscores is that there’s no coherent conception of the national interest at work behind any of this."
- Important but disturbing work on the turn of young men to the far right in Europe, with obvious current and long-term implications for politics and society. Mirrors trends elsewhere too, where the online 'manosphere' is overlapping significantly with right wing extremist content.
