Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

Donald Trump turns Americans into bunch of losers. 😬 Making Canadian Hockey great again. 🇨🇦

Tick tock, Hochul. Try not to be the worst Democratic governor for any longer than you need to. Remove Eric Adams.

"Canada's relationship with the U.S. can't be saved" From the former vice chief of the Canadian defense staff nationalpost.com/opinion/mark...

When FDR struck an over-the-heads-of-eastern-Europe deal at Yalta in Feb 1945, Stalin had 300+ divisions in the field vs Nazi Germany. The impending unilateral Trump sellout of Ukraine occurs when Putin is battered and almost broke.

I’ve never read anything like this. In a sane world this would be grounds for impeachment. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

DOJ lawyers should go on a mass nationwide strike.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

Elon is mad about what USAID did to help end Apartheid…but wait until we have our own Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

No cooperation. No collaboration. No compromise. Maximum resistance. Maximum disruption. Start there and get tougher.

Yeah, that’s more like it

Endorse. This is the most effective way for allies to counter Trump/Musk. Don't be coy; don't be diplomatic. Target their attack surfaces.

If you’re an accelerationist this must feel like Christmas Eve

If you’re China, Russian, or any other geopolitical or economic competitor, you’re in heaven right now. This is Folly of the highest order. Strap in, folks.

I wonder how the #FiveEyes can possibly function now in light of the US 🇺🇸 assault on Canada 🇨🇦.

There is no negotiation with trump’s America. You cannot trust a narcissistic criminal who will go back on their word on a whim. 🇺🇸 is no longer a trusted Ally. We can negotiate with 🇨🇦 and with 🇪🇺 , with 🇲🇽 and, yes, 🇨🇳 . And we should look to support those who believe in the rule of international law…

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

I do hope that Canada and Mexico hit hard against Trump's sudden 25% tariff decision. Serious sanctions against the US are needed. That is the only way of hindering them and to reintroduce some common sense in North America. Trump is out of control & the US institutions are unable to check him.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Why isn't every Dem social media feed in the country elevating Budde's call-out of Trump right now?

If it wasn't a Nazi salute, why did NBC edit it out? Why did Musk edit it out of the video he posted on his own account? Why did some Australian networks not broadcast it in a country where doing a Nazi salute is a crime in some states? Answer: It was a Nazi salute.

Everyone who spent the past four years swaddling Trump's open, explicit endorsements of political violence in obfuscatory euphemisms fully owns what's happening right now.

I can't tell you how absolutely livid I feel about the fact that, while I'm checking in with Los Angeles friends to make sure they and their homes are safe, certain Republican senators are going on TV and explaining with shitty little grins how LA had it coming and doesn't deserve relief aid.

I'm a believer in smart policy, but all the finger-pointing in the LA firestorm about hydrant flows and LAFD budgets seems like arguing about the adequacy of Hiroshima's 1945 building code standards. It's a way to evade the big questions.

NEW: Over 60 German & Austrian universities have announced today they are quitting X/Twitter. The backlash against Musk is growing after he endorsed Germany’s Far Right. Germany’s Feberal Court of Justice has also quit the platform, as well as top German football clubs & labour unions.

Ça y est, j’ai supprimé mon compte X (Twitter), un réseau structuré par et pour l’extrême droite, qui enrichit Elon Musk. J’ai renoncé à plus de 210 000 abonnés et à la visibilité qui allait avec, mais le jeu n’en vaut pas la chandelle. Vous m'aidez à retrouver une audience ici ? ☺️

Nous avons transféré l'intégralité de nos tweets de X vers Blue Sky. Vous n'avez plus à vous rendre sur X pour consulter nos archives.

Fun to see the people who say “America First” and mean “whites first” fight with the people who say “America First” and mean “money first”

Ever have that terrible, sinking feeling?
