What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

It is kind of ironic that Trump wants Canada as his 51st state, but all of his efforts appear to be turning America into Russia’s 47th oblast.

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.

Don't spend another dollar in America. Across the country people are cancelling long-planned trips. I just heard from a Canadian travel agent who is telling her customers she won't book trips to the United States. Canada The boycott is strong. Canada #strongasfuck We don't bend. We don't break.

Serena Williams was on the field longer today than Harrison Butker.

Trump is bragging that Canadians think so little of their own birth right that they are begging to join his gangster crew. Looks like people in Canada aren't buying his bullshit. The boycott is strong. Do not spend one cent in America until the tyranny is gone. Keep it up.

FAFO

Tremendous new addition to the Louvre

Hannah Arendt says the most evil thing about fascism weren't the atrocities but the willingness of people to go along. Trump has cut funds to the most desperately poor. He threatens Canada. But he can't tell you where to spend your money. His economy needs our tourism $$. You know what to do.

Racists doing what racists do best...

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

The WSJ Editorial Board slams Trump’s trade war with Camada and Mexico: “Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in…”

Trump blames Canada & Mexico for Fentanyl Trump pardoned Fentanyl Drug Dealer Ross Ulbricht, who operated Silk Road, a dark web marketplace where illegal drugs were sold. Ulbricht was convicted in 2015 in in a narcotics & money-laundering conspiracy & sentenced to life www.bbc.com/news/article...

As China is finding out, it’s risky being our foe - as Canada and Mexico are finding out, it’s riskier being our friend.

Someone in my TL just called Hegseth a “DUI hire” and I can’t do better than that today

A screenshot of the Guardian's front webpage...80 years ago and today.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Have you noticed he never says anything bad about actual tyrannical governments?

Billionaires, the tech and oil industries, and Nazis are destroying the Earth, but sure, let's hold up bike lanes and trans people as the real problem.
