The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

Unpunished crimes only encourage new atrocities. Today we have taken an important step towards establishing a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. This is a signal to the world that no one from Russia’s leadership is untouchable.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

Putin again complimented US President Donald Trump. He noted the persistence of the American leader in promoting his own interests and his ability to force anyone to do what he wants. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/02/p...

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Trump is trying to force Ukraine to hold elections during an invasion, this not only endangers civilians which are primary targets for Russia but it’s likely part of a larger Trump \ Putin plot to sabotage Ukraine; force a so called “ceasefire.” It’s time for Europe to step in, remove US influence.

As a Norwegian citizen, I demand that the Norwegian Oil Fund sell all shares in Tesla. Norway did not survive the Nazi occupation to finance the fascist takeover of the United States. Agree? Write to: [email protected] #swasticars

Seen on my news and academic feeds today: "This is highly illegal!" "Where are the courts?" "Someone needs to arrest him/them!" "The military needs to oust them!" "WHERE ARE THE DEMS?" This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us. We are all we've got.

Hundreds of student protestors at ASU stood up to fascists gathered to promote ethnic cleansing and report undocumented students. They protected their undocumented classmates by creating an impromptu march that overwhelmed the MAGA racists. #3E #USprotests #Arizona #ICE

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

Mexico has joined Canada in placing 25% tariffs on the US. China has filed a suit against the US at the World Trade Organization. People across all European countries, Mexico, Canada and parts of Latin America are organizing a world wide boycott of all US products. “Buy anything but US”

Plane catches fire in Houston. The United jet's engine caught fire before takeoff. 104 passengers and five crew members were evacuated, there is no information about casualties. That's three major incidents in a week after trump & elon gutted the FAA.

Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Science update to all MAGA morons. The only “pure” Homo Sapiens are sub Sahara Africans. All others are mixed of Denisovans and Neanderthal. All humans start out as women. So original human is a black woman. Now you know, now you can go back to circle jerking with your inbred friends.
