200 million Chinese don't have indoor plumbing. Garbage disposal like 15th century London.

We got receipts

Both are true.

Our most senior political leaders—through their soft & ‘ya-but’ equivocations, minimalist rhetoric, and half-measures—are actively enabling these exploits by Russia, China, and Iran. Canada is lacking the strong leadership that demands clear-eyed action: designate the networks, enforce laws without apology, and reject the moral relativism that divides us further. It is a travesty.

This man is about to find out that he doesn't live in a free country.

A reminder that antisemitism is being created in the West by Russia, Iran, and China. We have our own sins, but they're being exploited by our enemies.

Kudos! ✈️ 🌎 🇹🇼

And we're helping! Canada is arming Ukraine while we pay China... who arms Russia. Make it make sense.

Every time some Russian general nowadays boasts about how he commanded operations by Russian regular troops and unofficial mercenaries such as the Wagner Group against Ukraine in Donbas in 2014–2015 (and even casually admits to committing war crimes by mistake), I feel like sending my warmest regards -- to all those who stubbornly denied Russia’s direct aggression against Ukraine back then, parroted the Kremlin’s lies about “we are not there,” the “Donbas people's militia,” and the so-called “rebels” in the name of their cherished “balance of views,” while condescendingly lecturing us about our lack of “objectivity.”

No, because universal poverty interrupted only by corruption isn't an improvement. Know what's better? Liberal social democracy. Limited govt. Free economy within guardrails. Independent courts. Free press. Free speech. Scientific method. That's what works. Evidence proves it.

So much winning

Trump betrayed Iran.

I'll take a stab at this. Are you ready? The higher up. The one who appointed her... Is. Also. A. Russian. Asset. Now does it make sense? In fact, is there any other way it makes sense?

Well it is intelligence of a kind: Russian disinformation. Peddled by the US DNI. Craziest goddamn time in history. And I’m including Nero.

There is so much amazing, high-quality, very obviously non-partisan China influence research out there. Up until a couple of years ago, my main concern about the integrity of the Chinese influence research space was that progressives sometimes dismissed high-quality research as racist and fear-mongering when it wasn't. So I spent a lot of my time defending good China influence research from those criticisms (and calling out bad China influence research when it actually was racist or fear-mongering). In other words, I spent a lot of my time trying to be a bridge between progressive and conservatives on this issue, trying to help achieve consensus on what constitutes high-quality China influence research. But now, far and away my biggest concern about the China influence research space is the rise of this new phenomenon — the hard-right abuse of China influence research to wage a domestic ideological war against progressives and other domestic targets, using China links merely as a tool to achieve that goal. Not only does this damage the integrity of the China influence research space, it's also anti-democratic and echoes the playbook of the very authoritarians that China influence research is supposed to combat.

Time for free people to unite, as our enemies have done. Democracy for all.
