Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 🇨🇦 - Jimmy Carter #cdnpoli #peipoli

⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Biden has officially announced that the United States will provide Ukraine with nearly $2.5 billion in security assistance. ❗️Pentagon is in the process of delivering hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds, thousands of rockets, and hundreds of armored vehicles.

Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived president in US history, died on December 29 at age 100. The 39th president presided over a period of economic sluggishness and social malaise but distinguished himself after he left office with a lengthy and admirable post-presidency. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/la64oG

Fuck off in every which way possible.

This is so unbelievably offensive I truly hope Canadians understand that a significant percentage of Americans are daily embarrassed that this man is an American at all, let alone the president-elect

When you elect a troll, they're gonna do troll things.

he's posting at 3am about annexing Canada but ok

Personally, I am horrified that Trump continues to pretend that Canada is an American state.

I’m sorry, Canada

Never has a woman been so targeted by Russia, for years now the state run propaganda networks have been after her relentlessly. Do yourselves a favour and support her, learn about her, and read The Plutocrats to understand why Russia and Trump hate her so much and why it matters.

"His warnings are about as stark as they come. “Persuasive technology is a massively underestimated and powerful force shaping the world,” he said. “It has taken control of the pen of human history, and will drive us to catastrophe if we don’t take it back.”" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Donald Trump is once again “joking” about annexing Canada into the United States, this time calling Justin Trudeau the “Governor” of the “Great State of Canada.” Totally normal and not crazy at all

Every Canadian needs to take this seriously.

Private medicine is evil and it should be illegal.

My take on South Korea’s warning for Washington in the botched martial law attempt. “Democracy is not protected by constitutions written with magical ink. It can survive through brave people who cherish ideals more than power. As Linz warned, such people are not always in plentiful supply.”

In an attempt to intimidate Canada, Trump posted an ai image of illegally crossing into Switzerland.

Martial law came to South Korea – and my friends and I doomscrolled through the night

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

This is such a weird attitude! Imagine using this principle. “It doesn’t matter that you stole a car because that guy over there murdered six people!” One can say two bad things are different and one is *substantially* worse without saying that one of them is good!

Some Conservative MPs arrived drunk at the House of Commons last Thu night for the GST relief vote. They screamed, disrupted proceedings that parliamentary pages were removed from the unsafe opposition lobby. In most workplaces, showing up intoxicated is grounds 4 dismissal.

For anyone wondering what you are missing over on Twitter/X, they are bombarding people with ads for 40% off X Premium subscriptions for Black Friday...

BREAKING: The South Korean National Assembly could vote to revoke the martial law with a majority vote of its 300 lawmakers, and 190 lawmakers just voted to lift the martial law. Now the question is whether Yoon will actually lift it, as required by law.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

NEW: Norway is set to become the first country to fully transition to EVs thanks to clever policies making the switch to electric an easy choice. Read The Big Take ⤵

NEW: President Biden has asked Congress for another $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. According to the PoliticoPro report, $8 billion will go for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative to fund US company contracts to arm Kyiv, and $16 billion to refill US weaponry stock

My @torontostar.bsky.social column: Doug Ford is on a bike lane witch hunt and making magical promises. It’s a distraction. What he really wants is for you to pay no attention to the housing policy failure behind the curtain. Ontario housing starts are down big. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Tariffs explained for maga-morons.

me making a BLT after trump implements his tariffs

Trump vows to slap 25 per cent tariff on all products from Canada, Mexico: Tariffs would stand until both countries crack down on drugs and immigrants entering the U.S. illegally, Trump said on social media

Literally listening to business analysts talk about how Trump wouldn't possibly actually put tariffs on Canada when Trump announces he absolutely will put tariffs on Canada

Good morning, Blue Sky. Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people. Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead. Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just. Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

Opinion: Bluesky is a dangerous echo chamber because no one wants to hear from me, specifically

Jimmy Kimmel just DESTROYED Donald Trump’s entire administration. 🤣

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance. We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is. Joy is my favorite weapon.

My dad was RCAF, he served overseas for 4 years. Dad passed, I am glad he doesn't have to witness this
