Last week 30% of Canadians polled considered America an enemy and that's likely higher now--it goes up daily. America already lost us. It will take generations to repair this. My understanding is that the sentiment is shared in the EU. This man was elected TWICE. No one can trust the US again.

A LOT of people out there saying "I don't like what's going on but a boycott will hurt tipped servers" and "I'm super mad about all this but putting up a protest sticker/flyer seems too radical" and folks, I cannot. *fyi, buy-nothing day tomorrow focuses on big chains. Use cash @ small businesses

The point of excluding categories of people from the military like this is to send the message that they are unworthy of citizenship, it is pure bigotry and the assumptions behind it are disproven by the honorable service of the people being targeted in the first place bsky.app/profile/bran...

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

Remember last month, when you didn’t have to worry about the safety of the US nuclear arsenal? Or when you could get on a plane pretty sure you'd survive the flight? Those were the days. My @nytimes.com Guest Essay on DOGE, the wrecking ball crushing Americans' last remaining trust in government.

"In the first month since he returned to power, he has demonstrated once again a brazen willingness to advance distortions, conspiracy theories and outright lies..." Thing I Will Keep Saying: a society that wants to survive should probably discourage baldfaced lying www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

They’re going prosecute AOC and when they do, I don’t wane to hear a damn negative word about her on here whether you think she’s too far to the center or too far left. Normal politics are now cancelled until further notice.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

It's crazy to me that the CFPB, an agency that's basically in charge of preventing banks from robbing you, is perceived as the most liberal arm of the government.

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.
