Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

If you are about to vote for Ford, know he will be spending $20,000 per household across the whole of Ontario on a tunnel in Toronto. Not on your hospitals. Not on your schools. Not on improving healthcare or housing. $20,000 from your household to give to his buddies

Just voted in the advance poll. It was surprisingly busy! I hope that bodes well for Ford’s opposition. #OnPoli

This administration is working really, really hard to create a large group of former government employees and soldiers with skills and an axe to grind

But the ones that do will be absolutely terrifying.

The perfect tech contract to proceed with when you position yourself as the tough negotiator to take on Trump.

Post-game feeling...

If only we had a word for a shape with three sides.

Jesus. The video is underneath this. More fucking Nazi salutes.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Scarface level of drugs going on here.

They’re going to bankrupt the country. And we all know how good Trump is at bankruptcy.

[butterfly meme] is this ´a republic not a democracy’?

This cat dressed for snow is just too much! #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmil...

STORY + DATA: The scale of Canadian efforts to boycott US goods is becoming clear. New border data shows crossborder traffic has utterly plummeted in the last month. Southbound traffic during the recent holiday weekend dropped by more than 40% from last year. fvcurrent.com/p/border-tra...

Can't wait for an originalist to tweet that well actually the American Constitution has always been pro-King

All of this. It's really important to shed normalcy bias, now. It's not comforting to think about, but the world we grew up with is over. bsky.app/profile/caro...

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America *must* be understood as a misinformation crisis.

Holy shit, the nose 😳

Trump managed to get John Bolton and Bernie Sanders to agree on foreign policy. Pretty incredible achievement.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Historically, suddenly forcing massive numbers of highly educated and well paid people into unexpected mass unemployment has not led to *stability*

Bundle that with tariffs, the knock-on effects of unemployment on local communities, and high deficits and you have yourself a nice big cuppa stagflation. The last one lasted a decade. Buckle up everyone.

Beyond the fact that Police Associations and Police Unions should remain apolitical, one has to consider the optics of actively endorsing someone who is under criminal investigation.

I see no actual evidence that the American and Russian negotiators are putting together a peace deal. It looks increasingly like America is negotiating its neutrality in the conflict in exchange for oil. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

"They have not broke me. I am not broken."

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Well we can freak out about all the annexation talk or we can remember that they’ll be too distracted by planes falling out of the sky and crippling stagflation to do anything remotely like it.

After we let Russia occupy part of your country and steal your resources, we will occupy the other part and do the same. Quite the starting point for the Americans.

What was the Chief Whitehouse Correspondent of the newspaper of record doing during america’s slide into authoritarianism and fascism? Apparently writing this garbage👇
