I feel sick reading this. What about the embargo?

Well there you have it folks. Tariffs on Canada and Mexico from the US. After asking for free trade, integration of our economies, supports its wars, and provide resources for decades. Ok. Let the games begin. Sad thing is that it is the poor and middle class who will suffer in both countries.

🤬 Right now, Russia is shelling my city Odesa very heavily, the energy infrastructure was damaged. 🙏 Part of the city was left without electricity. Utilities have already started work on launching generators to operate critical infrastructure, including boiler rooms.

Anyone who read Mary Trump’s book about the Trump family dynamic wonder if maybe Putin also reminds DJT of someone close to him who he could never win the love of? Just a water cooler theory…

Folks, rule of law only works if people respect it and it is backed up by enforceable remedies, backed by the threat of the legitimate exercise of force when needed. There is no magic to it. If that goes, it is might makes right. And that is awful for the average person.

Oh no! A lot of seniors on Social Security live cheque to cheque and have nothing left over to save. This could be a disaster if anything happens to the timing of cheques or any interruption.

Taken with the pullback on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a tough one-two punch agst any semblance of enforcement agst bribery and financial fraud abroad

There is NO logical reason to do this except to help Russia and undermine US security

Don’t comply with authoritarianism and censorship in advance

I have seen too many well meaning but helpless acting people say “I hate this but what can I do?!” Guess what… peaceful protests, calling politicians, calling media, and boycotting corporations WORK! YOU are a citizen NOT a “consumer.” YOU have power.

Great news for money launderers!

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Here's a question to ask: if he's a special government employee he has to file a conflict of interest OGE-450 form & have it signed by a White House lawyer. If he owned any crypto, he had to disclose, & if he did, the WH attorney would say either he has to sell it or he can't work on crypto. Did he?

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social if Republican Congresspeople are being intimidated, if it is lawful to fundraise and provide personal security for them & families, offer it to any who are willing to vote their conscience. They sign affidavit they will only vote their conscience. Set up hotline.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

This is how you meet with an ally and support them, not belittling them and threatening a third world war. 💙💛🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine #StandWithZelenskyy

Pierre Poilievre hasn't bothered to get his security clearance. It's not hard. This is the kind of the irresponsibility we can't afford right now. #MarkCarney

This seems like an important list to know for people who need to contact an independent journalist
