In one of the wealthiest countries in the world, First Nations have had to go to court to fight for the right to safe drinking water.
Instead of simply guaranteeing this basic right, the Liberals would rather shovel public money into fighting First Nations in court — while tabling new legislation that fails to uphold the human right to clean drinking water.
This is shameful. It’s well past time to guarantee the human right to safe, clean drinking water for every community, once and for all.

Matt's new book is out now! I can't wait to read this! @MattPolProf What Is Liberal Socialism?

...At their apex in the 1970s leaders like Olof Palme not only described themselves and their projects as socialist, but consciously tried to go beyond where they'd already gotten aka the limits of the social democratic form...

I do have considerable disagreements with it; starting historically. The Nordic models he favors probaly wouldn't have come into being without intense labor activism and organized, self-described socialist parties defined by their pragmatism and acceptance of liberalism..

Its a worthwhile book; though notably the author concludes by expressing some hope that a transition to a more comprehensively socialist system will occur in a future where social democracy becomes more ubiquitious...

If I could have people read one book on my politics to understand me it might be this pretty unassuming short book on why social democratic capitalism is preferable to democratic socialism. Starts with a lot of the same assumptions socialists make and walks through how the optimal way to get a fair society still involves markets + redistribution as opposed to democratizing the means of production etc. Written without any hyperbole or jargon.

"nothing illiberal about challenging
concentrations of wealth"

The Liberal Case Against Unlimited Wealth
(e.g., as made by US Founders).
'To tweak Justice Louis Brandeis’s famous line: We may have liberty, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.'

There is nothing illiberal about challenging concentrations of wealth and power. Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft both insisted inequality was politically threatening and morally corrupting. John Stuart Mill identified as a socialist and called for a more equal society...

Nothing to see here, just the world’s richest man & top Republican donor promoting racist AI slop from the UK’s most infamous far-right thug, who he also happens to fund.
Oh & on the same day as this news about right-wing, anti-Muslim terror in the UK:

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Yes, and this comes from the personalist philosophy of Maritain and Mounier.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights makes the association between dignity and equality explicit many times. The Preamble mentions "equal rights" and the "inherent dignity" of "all." Article One stipulates all people are born "free and equal" in dignity and rights...
