I’m thoroughly fed up with @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social giving so much coverage to a politician who lost his seat & the PM race, turning up to his “pressers” & reporting on them like their news. CBC has an Audience Engagement line & you can leave a 60 second message. Just saying… 1-866-306-4636

🧵 1. We all need to familiarize ourselves with a few vital terms. The most powerful people on the planet (ie Trump, Musk, Putin, Thiel & other malignant billionaires, #Project2025 authors, disinformation media etc) are employing the psychological tools of psychopathy. #AmericanFascism #Kakistocracy

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

With the G7 coming in a week & a full spectrum of opinions on whether 🇨🇦 should be negotiating or retaliating with 🇺🇸, I offer this: The question of whether we could trust Trump to honour a deal is not the right framing. He’s not changing & he’s not going away. /1

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.
