If you support this, you’re an awful human being

"In Canada, rather than simply obliterating community, cultural production has been defunded and the two federal parties have coopted nationalism to suit their terms. The Conservatives, with their hokey and folksy Canadian spirit versus the more aggressive and cheesy Red! Red! Red! of the Liberals."

Britt for president !

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

"Who does this all of this to their society? To their country? In one month. What a perversion of public service. What a wretched and debased abdication of all public responsibility."

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Here is the current status of Starlink competitors No satellite service comes even close to Starlinks capabilities and capacity and that wont change for years (and one of those that might become competitive, Amazon Kuiper, would also be a US system).

There’s something happening in this country.

MTG said less than a year ago regarding a "Ukrainian Nazis" story that "This looks like something you’d see out of Hitler’s Germany from Ukraine. And this is something that’s extremely important to talk about...”. Is she going to be talking about Musk and Bannon and the whole fascist road show ?

Every single Karoline Leavitt press conference so far: “I don’t know how I can make it any clearer. The thing that you see happening with your own eyes is not happening, and I don’t understand why it’s not good enough for you when I just say it’s not happening. You guys are totes annoying.”

The technology brothers have invented “Goons as a Service”

Ben Harnwell, Bannon's "man in Italy" & show regular, founder of the ironically named "Institute for Human Dignity", said on Bannon's show recently that Zelenski needs to be "humiliated" by the U.S. and Russia and "rightly so". Fuck these guys. foreignpolicy.com/2023/01/15/s...

I am at the NATO meetings in Brussels. Trump and Putin are plunging the world into dark chaos. Here is my dispatch from day one of the meetings. I decided that it was time to go over the boards for Canada. Please read and share. substack.com/home/post/p-...

If I were a Canadian MP, I'd create a list of every American politician and media personality who's joking approvingly about or otherwise encouraging the idea of the US annexing Canada and ban them from Canada forever. They won't care, but it would show how seriously we're taking this.

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
