Is Trump being kinda quiet about Canada since the election?

Just as with masks, the whole “we just don’t want mandates” lie has now collapsed around the COVID19 vaccine. These people are the same charlatans who claim they are all about medical “choice”. Then they take the choice away from us.

A consensus has developed among the Europeans following Trump's 2-hour long telephone conference with Vladimir Putin: that Trump has sold out both his NATO allies and Ukraine and is firmly in the thrall of Vladimir Putin. www.sueddeutsche.de/projekte/art...

🚨BREAKING: In a victory for voters, a federal court has halted Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin’s efforts to overturn an election and disenfranchise thousands of voters. A federal judge has ordered the state to certify Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’ victory.

The DC attorney nominee has appeared dozens of times on Russian state media www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

CPJ has issued a safety advisory for journalists traveling to or entering the US: cpj.org/2025/04/cpj-...

The 5th Circuit just gutted the FCC’s enforcement authority, declaring that its in-house adjudications are unconstitutional. FCC can’t file enforcement proceedings in federal court, so this decision neuters its power to impose civil penalties for lawbreaking. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

Meta deemed my books of "of no economic value" and used them to train their AI. Perhaps they are of no value to someone of Zuck's stature but they pay annual royalties that allowed my first child to attend college and will, I hope, allow my second to do the same. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

This is a freaking mess. The regional climate centers are incredibly vital in helping communities use weather and climate data for so many specific regional needs.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Vaccine schedule for your children, in case the Regime disappears it. Tell your pediatrician this is the schedule you want your child to follow.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Please, if you truly love Canada and want to stay separated from American and fascist policies and ideology, DON’T VOTE CONSERVATIVE. DON’T LET POILIEVRE IN. This is what and who will win if he’s elected Prime Minister.👇 Kiss your healthcare, pension, bodily autonomy & more rights goodbye #cdnpoli

Cory Booker live on the Senate floor: "These are not normal times in America and they should not be treated as such." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Cory Booker just hit 2.5 hours on the Senate floor. He's reading from a binder of letters written by constituents and advocates.

Gaza: Israeli Military War Crimes While Occupying Hospitals

Can we now acknowledge that there’s something to be said for the Tolerance Paradox?

Just a casual reminder that freedom of speech BEGINS with speech we don’t like.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Trump uses the pretext of war (which doesn't exist) with Tren de Aragua (to which these people don't belong) to justify seizing these people and placing them in a concentration camp. But then of course taking "trophy photos" of the prisoners constitutes a grave violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Wow. Fox refused to put their longtime Chief National Security Correspondent on air since the Signal story broke because she has been honest on social media about it. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

Accenture warns that Musk's reckless conduct under the guise of DOGE is imperiling US revenue collection and is moving the US Government to a hard crash. www.ft.com/content/9fad...

Worth noting that that one weapons program, the F-35, is responsible for well more than a trillion dollars of our national debt. And counting. And it’s already obsolete.

📌It's time for current and former military leaders to uphold their oath and speak up RIGHT NOW. This is a damn emergency.

NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

The actual trajectory of Democratic opposition to Trump since 2016 is that Democrats first engaged in #resistance and cultural progressivism, won the House in 2018, defeated Trump and won a trifecta the year of the George Floyd protests, tacked right under Biden, and lost in 2024.

The Democrats to yell at: Bennet (CO) Blumenthal (CT) Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gallego (AZ) Hassan (NH) Heinrich (NM) Hickenlooper (CO) Kelly (AZ) Klobuchar (MN) Peters (MI) Reed (RI) Rosen (NV) Shaheen (NH) Warner (VA)

The reason Russia is an adversary today is because 3 decades ago the Bush and Clinton administrations sent an army of vulture capitalists to dismember the carcass of the Soviet Union, at one point reducing Russian GDP to less than that of Portugal. What if we’d instituted another Marshall Plan?

Garland had a responsibility to go after the coup leaders and chose not to do so until it was far too late, complying with a precedent set by Jerry Ford when he pardoned Richard Nixon.

i followed up with ADL about how this nazi salute was different than musk's and the press person responded by asking if i could sent it to the main ADL media email lol. that's it.

It’s a statistical certainty that a great many of Trump’s 1461 pardoned rioters will again commit violent crimes. Who will be blamed?
