J.D. Vance's lecture in Europe basically convinced every country to quietly create a new secret group chat without the US.

Foreign ownership of Canada’s media has never been so concerning in light of Trumps annexation threats. We can fight back. Read here:

this type of smug cynicism is corrosive to the very core of democracy

For a century, Canada and the U.S. have fought together for democracy.Today, Trump undermines these bonds, treating alliances as inconveniences. Canada will always stand for democracy. We will remain steadfast. aletterfromamaritimer.substack.com/p/canada-and... #CAF #LestWeForget

every day we see more and more evidence of society descending into utter lawlessness and chaos

Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!
