President Trump seems to think he can suspend the laws of the United States, of international trade, and of economics. The American Congress and US courts will decide for themselves how they will address these violations of Presidential powers. (1/3)

Monday thought:

If you live in Ontario If you are a parent, a grandparent, an auntie, an uncle, a neighbour, or a friend Understand that Doug Ford is deliberately dismantling education in Ontario Vote! DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE. Our job is to vote to protect the future of those who cannot vote. #FordLovesTrump

Love this story. Teachers are good people!!🇨🇦🥰

I have been having discussions with both 🇨🇦s and 🇺🇸s who believe there must have been some justification for these tariffs. The migrants-and-drugs-flowing-in-from-Canada narrative is pure fiction, as is the imbalance of trade. 🇺🇸 gets 60% of its oil from 🇨🇦. If this is removed trade (g&s) is balanced.

Misinformation on social media is winning – scientists must adapt healthydebate.ca/2025/02/topi... via @healthydebate.bsky.social "It’s not just about vaccines or pandemics – misinformation about ADHD, cancer treatments, weight loss, fertility & chronic disease management thrives online."

oops....didn't mean to do it

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Notice it is the “Canadian federal government” or “Ottawa” when it’s a positive story and it’s “the Trudeau government” or “federal Liberals” when it’s a critical story.

Pretty big deal. @bookshop-org.bsky.social is selling ebooks now. You can now support indies while purchasing digital books. bookshop.org/ebooks

Remember ahead of this snap election that Doug Ford promised to fix #LTC after the horrific military reports were leaked in 2020 and instead, he just passed the MOST HARMFUL & EXPLOITIVE STAFFING REGULATION TO DATE. 🎙️A snippet from a talk I gave this past weekend-Sat Jan 25, 2025👇

But of COURSE he is. This was always the plan👇

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Can you imagine if journalists in Canada had actually exposed right wing extremism instead of trying to mainstream it for clicks and engagement?

Alcohol in private stores: $1.4 billion Building infrastructure for a private spa: $2.2 billion Redundant highway: $10 billion Cost of Ford’s government: 73% increase Early election with a majority already: $175 million Doug Bucks election bribes: $3 billion Defenestrating Doug: Priceless

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spent Monday evening at his $1,750-per-plate fundraiser hosted at a mansion so large it has its own postal code. Oh, and the guy who owns that place? Yeah, looks like he profits from privatized healthcare facilities in the United States. Let's talk about it:

Canada named most positive leader on world stage

It says a lot that trump spoke more harshly about a woman of the church, Bishop Mariann Budde, who asked him kindly to "have mercy," than he has EVER spoken about a murderous dictator like Vladimir Putin. Fucking coward.

Most accurate polling outfit in the country. Bar none. Frank Graves has a true, unbiased pulse on where Canada stands. The only poll short of the actual vote I would trust.

GREAT read👇

Bad news for fuck face Pierre

This is big.

In 2016, when the world began to realize Russia had developed means to weaponize social media, it was an act of warfare. 🇷🇺 was instrumental in electing Trump & launching mass character assassination & disinfo against his opponents. #NatSec experts feared others would follow, using these same weapons

My best advice as an activist who survived 10 years of Harper : 1- It's a marathon, not a sprint. They will try & overwhelm with a flurry of attacks. Use your energy wisely or it will deplete before the job is done. 2- Just because you're new to the fight, doesn't mean the fight is new.

Way too many people don't seem to know how prorogation works and why it's perfectly constitutionally (even when Harper did it), and why it is now. But @escrimshaw.bsky.social explains it here, and why the fed courts are fucking up entertaining rw bs about it. open.substack.com/pub/scrimsha...
