Good.

Y después alegan que uno es anti-comunista....

A president declared a national emergency on drugs and used it to go after civilians he didn’t like. Now he’s on trial. Hmmm…….

Oh.

Do not mistake all the talk of Canada being the 51st state. If he can draw up plans for this, he can draw up plans to invade Canada. www.rawstory.com/trump-panama...

For someone who is so interested in annexing a territory, this is an awfully contradictory statement. It is also wrong, and won't be soon forgotten in Canada.

In case you were wondering, they are going full-out antisemitic against the Jewish judge that blocked Khalil’s deportation. Because none of this is about countering antisemitism. It’s about weaponizing (real) antisemitism to undermine democracy and the rule of law.

Waters is in for a big suprise.

Whats's "la DC"?

This will be the great test of American democracy in the coming months: the administration simply not complying with judicial orders. What then?

My latest column in La Segunda, translated. I try to explain why Ukraine is a threat to Putin and a pain for Trump.

He doesn’t get to decide that.

Smart

First they came for the immigrants…

What’s happening?!?!?

Qué onda el sitio de SII?

Your former boss is talking about erasing the border. In other places that would be a declaration of war. So.... yeah.

A one-man-made situation

Elon Musk explaining cars to Trump: "It's literally like a golf cart that goes really fast."

Under this theory, Marco Rubio can expel Canadians who say “you should stop threatening to annex Canada.”

Importante columna de @sajuria.com . Cuando la derecha tradicional quiere captar votos de la extrema derecha, legitima a los extremos y asusta a posibles votantes más de centro. Its classic Downs.

I guess the success of the stock market was Biden's fault after all....

So there have been next to no protests over the hundred and one things that Trump has done to undermine democracy, but the opposition is going to die on this hill? Big mistake. Plays right into Trump’s hands.

Pucha

Someone is sending Musk a message.

Post-Nato, Neo-Nato, Non-US-Nato.

No one will buy this argument, except the Trump base/cult.

Qué oculta Crispi?

I can't believe we're even talking about this, but it's true. When there are very few (or no) sectors of the invaded society that actually WANT to be invaded, the result tends to be long, slow insurgencies that in the end, succeed. But the cost is huge for everyone.

Wow! Customer support at Starlink really sucks.

I am afraid they will not present a united front because some will want to benefit from the attack on others, prisoner's dilemma.

Sometimes there’s a transition. Like when market reform brings tough times before they get better. This is not that.

To be fair, Freeland deserved more than 8%. But then, she did betray Trudeau.

It’s not just federal workers. And it’s not just universities in the US.

🤔

The Fulbright program is required by law. It’s literally named after the senator that passed the bill.

If this was a foreign country, we’d describe it as an “authoritarian state”

Happy International Women’s Day

Be there, please

Los que funaron a Carolina Tohá ayer en la calle le hacen un tremendo favor a la derecha. Trae recuerdos del anarquismo octubrista, que solo ayudará a las campañas que prometen orden. Mi solidaridad con la ex ministra.

Prepárense…

The number of people in Canada who believe this is close to zero.

I love how small these numbers are. Canada should be proud.

Wisconsin just might save the republic

Leaky mousepads

“Sending a forceful message”? Undemocratic bullying is presented as strength. The @washingtonpost.com has gone full Dear Leader on Trump.
