Are the Republicans still ‘republican’ now that their elected representatives have so little power and they kiss the ring of their ‘king’ and his billionaire court jester?

One thing that everyone could easily do to protest the out-of-control billionaires is stop ordering from Amazon. Like today. No excuses.

Happy Bunday everyone! This girl knows how to chill out.

Hear me out: DJT and EM know that climate change is not a hoax and that resources are going to become scarcer and more crucial as the planet gets hotter. They dismantle and kneecap govt and start taking over resource-rich countries.

Fellow covid cautious folks, my SIL (who works in health care) in BC advised one of my family members (who is immunocompromised) to cancel a trip to BC because of rampant respiratory illness there. It doesn’t help that hardly anyone masks there because of the infamous wash-your-hands Bonnie Henry.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump said he will announce 25% tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum on Monday.

I guess I am deleting the TUBI app from my tv when I get home….

I bet DJT is eyeing up the Netanyahu judicial reform stunt to limit the power of the courts. Wait for it…

My spouse has scleroderma and research is crucial in order to discover better treatments. We are in Canada but it doesn’t matter if the research comes out of Canada or anywhere in the world.

@amirattaran.bsky.social is right #Trump #Musk & #Rubio are assassins. There is a direct line between their actions and the pending death of millions. I’ve worked with Republicans and Democrats over my career. Today’s #GOP is just evil. 1/

Shame on @hhmi.bsky.social. Disgusting.

Mandatory jail for Nazi salutes under new Australia laws www.bbc.com/news/article...

Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

Do people understand that eliminating DEI hires just ensures more jobs for the already privileged white man? Women, do you understand that you will be excluded from jobs? Where will it end? Republicans have been whining about women having the right to vote. Women! Stand up for ALL (except white men)

I love the idea of Bonhomme being the drug czar. addressing snow in all its forms!

Sanders calls out RFK for selling baby onesies that say "Unvaxed, Unafraid"

@nbcnews.com had a story about the TB outbreak in Kansas. 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷They reported that, while it is airborne, there’s not really anything you can do 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷 to prevent yourself from getting it. 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷 Nothing at all. Sorry, folks. 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

I feel so angry. The owner of a Canadian company is trying to rouse support for Canada to join the US. No one I know wants ANYTHING to do with the US right now. If you hate Trudeau, just know that I LOATHED Harper but it didn’t turn me into a neo-nazi. I exercised my right to vote.

I feel like the NYT is finally letting journalists speak out against the fascism sweeping the US and causing divisiveness and trepidation. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/o...

A Canadian AI tech ‘bro’ is lathering up the far right over on the ‘other’ app. One of his talking points is that Canadians would be crazy to turn down the opportunity to join the US (he even started a petition). His name is Solon Angel if you want to take it up with him.

So Zuckerberg and his wife have a HEALTH and SCIENCE philanthropic organization and his hiring practices are INCLUSIVE. Yet they are kissing the ring of an anti-science, anti health care, anti-DEI, pro neo-nazi president. Why???

As one of the most powerful countries in the world, the US has an obligation to nip this in the bud. Fascism, racism, assault on human rights, whatever you want to call it - it has no place in a modernized, free society.

Even worse than seeing the broligarchs front and centre at the inauguration were their devoted wives at their sides. Do they not have any shame?
