Honestly, watching Trump defend his plane from #Qatar, it’s so painfully obvious that he is a deeply odd and truly flawed man. He shifts back and forth from attacks and insults and to self-aggrandizement and grandiose pronouncements. It’s constant. Who fucking does that?!

If US Congress, courts, and citizens let #Trump get away with accepting the plane from #Qatar, it'll be very hard to imagine anything that's NOT horrifying for American democracy for years.

Listening to Trump ramble on is painful for so many reasons but more importantly, the nonsense, prevarication, and pure BS is so beyond norms and expectations that it's still hard to wrap one's head around it actually being real. It's fucking cartoonish!

Missed this statement from Pen Canada last week: ”This decision sets a troubling precedent: that social media outrage can determine editorial direction. In cancelling the segment under pressure, CTV may have handed a victory to those who seek to weaponize online harassment to silence journalists”

This was such a good interview! It’s clear why Carney has succeeded the way he has. He’s an experienced, competent, and serious person. A starker contrast is hard to imagine when comparing him to attack dog, sloganeering, truth bending Poilievre.

I missed this story from Poillievre's campaign stop in NL last week. totally outrageous but also completely unsurprising. canadianjournalist.ca/poilievre-ca...

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

In addition to being very funny, it was a very musical edition of #SNL. Thanks #JackBlack

These Trumpy “tariff” calculations are a right up there with doing war by personal cell phone and a commercial app. CBC’s About That nails it: youtu.be/PWhv-06DNjE?...

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Conservative trolls mounted a campaign to prevent journo @rachelgilmore.bsky.social from having a weekly fact-check segment on CTV. It worked, CTV caved. The majority can speak in a louder voice. Let CTV know they fumbled #ElbowsUp. BCE>Bell Media>CTV [email protected], [email protected]

What a fascinating watch! Colourised footage from European streets at the end of WW2. Smug faces of the hateful men in captivity who cost 100s of millions of ppl around the world so much stirs revulsion! Seeing the faces of regular ppl liberated from it all is so moving. youtu.be/K7JeTqXdH7I?...

It's conceivable Trump has developed a vision of strong-man state governance thru these long ties with Russia. May or may not be kompromat, but I can imagine support from Ru. Either way, the pro-Ru stance, trips by cronies, the turn to oligarchy, all maps to Russian-influence/guidance. Questions...

The case against #Bolsonaro and his coup attempt in #Brazil has moved through the system there & now right through the Supreme Court, yet the long-glorified and much vaunted US system could not manage the least of justice with #Trump! This in itself is so fundamental a problem. And it's cultural.

It’s been fascinating to watch as likes on PM Mark Carney’s posts increase steadily these past weeks as we’ve all moved through this bizarre political landscape. From a few to 10s through 100s and now in the tens of thousands. #CanadaSky #Carney

It is no coincidence that so much of the US is poor, and the rich have gotten so rich. Stop looking down to find someone to blame. Stop looking at your neighbors to find someone to blame. LOOK UP. Inequality is destroying us.

Trump rattles off threats of so-called “reciprocal tariffs” against, well, the world. “Two words,” he says—'beautiful words' or some facile nonsense. (1/6)
