Trump’s opposition STILL suffers from a huge media infra disadvantage. And yet his polling is going south, even before real pain of his catastrophic economic policies hit. Imagine what would happen if the oppo could fix this?

US District Court Judge Royce Lamberth denies Kari Lake's (and USAGM's) request that he stay, pending appeal, his preliminary injunction ordering the defendants to bring back Voice of America staff and return VOA to its pre-March 14 operational status.

Keep ‘em coming Via Kyle Cheney: JUST IN: A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from deporting an incarcerated Venezuelan man under the Alien Enemies Act without at least 14 days notice to file challenges.

I just watched this prescient 2012 episode from political comedians Clarke & Dawe. It includes this: C: Well, as you know in Economics, the great battle in the 20th century was that between capital and labor… D: Won by capital C: Won resoundingly by capital, who then move on to the next round […]

The reality 👇

Protest still has power Defeatism is felt more at the elite level rather than on the ground: Already in the first weeks of Trump 2.0, there were far more protests than during the same period in the first administration. What seemed to be missing was a massive event serving as a focal point […]

Trump isn’t really a “king maker” - he’s a very effective vassal canceler tho. Which I guess is good enough in this kind of society.

“I have a lot of problems with social anxiety—“ “REALLY? It doesn’t seem like it at all!” “uh. Thanks. I think.” I guess it’s only a problem if troubles or inconveniences anyone *else*. If I’m miserable? Living in a tunnel of fear? Not relevant, I suppose. Listen, I know people say this to be […]

Canada = Ukraine We're next, and it won't be long. Trump is salivating at the thought of conquest. He pictures himself an Alexander, notwithstanding he's nothing but a lowly loser-lieutenant under Putin. Neither Carney nor Poilievre can stop this thing; not without taking historic action […]

I'm losing a talented co-worker because of Trump. My co-worker is a brilliant and caring Chinese man. He speaks and writes English better than a lot of native-born Americans. He's here legally, but out of an abundance of caution he's leaving America next week. It's very sad. He's […]

JFC!! How bloody naīve is TIME and other American media (and evidently many Americans) about Trump’s actions!? WHAT DOES HE NEED TO DO to convince these fools that he is a threat to all, and yes that includes Canada as a free and independent nation!! […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Time's followup to Trump's garbage claim that sure, as a lifelong tax scofflaw he'd be happy to pay more, but he doesn't want to lose an election over it was NOT to point out he has no more elections to win. time.com/7280114/dona...
