Time for a new party to shake thinks up, perhaps. One that is not bought would be a good start. Whatever Dems are doing is useless. I was for Cori's filibuster but what? He voted for Kushner? You are broken, America. Time for a new strategy

Was walking by there this week for Congress at the waterfront. Looks like Congress is going through troubles and (maybe rightly) will be done. But the market will go on.

We are in the process of reconciliation. Legal recognitions are being worked through with hundreds of treaties. Granted, the process is too slow.

Although the sentiment aimed at the neighbour to the south holds. It is exhausting.

What are you doing about this apart from tut tutting here? Bluddy hell. Do something! We are watching from the outside and wondering eyes you will actually stand up for Rule of Law and your Constitution. It is exhausting to watch you all ketch and do what is clearly less than required

This is real and we have to reckon with it. This is beyond and too much. There is no moral way to support it. And before you set people one me a a diasporic Jew, I have screenshotted this so I know when the fallout started.

I know it is selfish, but in the midst of a massive measles outbreak in Canada, would it be too mic. To ask you to keel vaccine disinformation to yourselves? This is seriously bad. And not you, I know, but sheesh

I am in Canada and there is no shortage of cottage cheese. Could be demand plus some supply issues?

My son died at 2. Not SIDS. I feel this after over 2 decades. There is nothing I can say. Just one I sit with you. I have a sense of how hard it is and how hard we have to fight for rights

The US has hit peak corruption. Remember when you embargoed those who did this elsewhere? Why wouldn't the rest of the world do that to you? Americans deserve better.

You seem to all be spending a lot of time trying to persuade each other that this is crappy, but what are you doing? Signed, Concerned

I am confused being from outside... and maybe explain to me... where is your rage? I see a handful of people trying to do something and no rage? Am I missing something? Signed, the rest of the world.

Dear Lord... I live in Canada and *I know* he couldn't wear a tan suit. What is happening there is shocking.

Okay. I am watching from the outside in another nation. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. Is this yet another "oh well moment for you"? We can't forth for you; we can support you. Give us something at least apart from grief

What we are seeing here are (sadly) familiar forces that are hard to parse. Because they are happening here (Canada, UK too).

Fair. I saw some familiar names and jumped. Sorry about that.

The barrage is overwhelming. Don't feel awful. My post wasn't to own you. I got pulled in for a bit, too.

It is heartbreaking to watch from the outside. I can only try to imagine from the inside. Know you have solidarity. But we can't fight for you. We can and will support you, though. Tell us how
