Canadian, living in the USA. Habs fan. I prefer democracies over dictatorship. If you thought the war in Afghanistan was bad, try invading Canada.

I’ll never understand the wordle bot’s analysis. 3 word, 1 remaining word, and scores a 77. The bot’s 3 word ( also not the solution) also one word remaining, scores a 99?

I wish i had written this. My take though “I don’t despise the NYT headlines as much as I despise the “breaking news- you’re crushed” headlines open.substack.com/pub/reedgale...

Will have to stop traveling - keep missing important events. Speaking of one and done, wasn’t the war in Ukraine supposed to last a few days, not a few years?

When reading Trumps poll numbers I have to remind myself, far too often, that 15% of the population believes the earth is flat. 10% think Elvis is still alive and another 10% think JFK is alive. Trump is still polling higher than that total though.

How many concentration camps does one country need?

Well I’m sure Trump will be counselled away from the brink of a generation-long war and back to moderation and reason by his Chief of Staff, a general whose official Department of Defense site lists his name as Razin Caine

It’s almost like the CAQ looks south of the border, finds the most unpopular, hurtful, and cruel policies, and says “hey let’s try that in Quebec”

More of this is needed

I did not know their father was a major in the marine corps. That adds an interesting dimension to the rest of their story.

Jordan Peterson is a role model, Trump shows resilience. Stunning. The elephant in the room though is religion itself got us here in the first place.

The Father I Didn’t Know – And What It Taught Me On this Father’s Day, I want to share something I learned the hard way. It’s a bit rough in the beginning, but it matters. Especially if you’re a dad. 🧵

Underrated

I've been at the job of raising sons since 1975. The third one is 19 and at university now and the oldest is about to get married for the first time, so my job is almost done and none have been arrested for a felony offence. My only advice? Be there. Just be there. Happy Pop's Day, dudes.

If I recall correctly the Canadian Army said FU to the Christmas truce.

Minnesota today youtube.com/watch?v=bpiK...

The event today was preceded by this, 11 years ago I mean, you’ve got to give it to Mr. Fogerty, he doesn’t back down.

This is so cool. @scottbluewave.bsky.social @thedeerwhisperer.bsky.social @lynned444.bsky.social @dianeiam.bsky.social @thamemeweaver.bsky.social

One interaction today - a guy drives by as three of us approached the protest. As he drives past he screams out “if you hate America , Leave” What he doesn’t understand is we’re there because we love America, not because we hate it. I guess Stephen Miller doesn’t understand that either.

Who’s watching Panthers vs Oilers game 5? 🙋‍♂️

This isn't just ICE. It's all levels of law enforcement and likely the military too. Does no one have control over these SOBs?

Show up to the NO KINGS rallies. Be vigilant and peaceful and organized. Don't give in to terror and fear. They want you to be cowed into silence. Speak louder.

Brilliant!

I’m starting to feel we might have a chance 20 rallies in NH- I went to one of them. More than 1M showed up in Boston Impressive turnout across the country Our own velvet revolution-

Chicago

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

So went to the demonstration in my town. Lots of people, hundreds. This is the most accurate sign I saw today.
