"Car dealership that disappears political dissidents" really does feel like the form America has been building to this whole time.

Looks like someone took it upon themselves to update the product descriptions in at least one Toronto location. (Via Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/ontario/co... )

Yes, so much, so fucking sad, yes

For all you "Not Yet A Constitutional Crisis" people: The kid at Columbia with a green card currently in secret ICE detention for thoughtcrime is a four alarm fire.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Marco Rubio will be in Quebec City 🇨🇦 Wednesday-Friday (March 12-14). Given the 🇺🇸 egg shortage, please place however many dozen eggs you can afford in a very hot place until March 11th and then hand-deliver them to the USA Secretary of State. Let the Trade War and threat of annexation yolk be on him.

Please, stop making these terrible arguments in order to dismiss threats of annexation by the US. 🧵 1. "He's just joking, trolling, negotiating, or being Donald." Clearly not. Stop it. 1/

Unannounced AGLC fee increase (tax) on wine in Alberta. Cheap mass-produced wines are exempt whereas anything unique or with quality will be penalized. Danielle Smith has increased taxes on Canadian wines at the height of the Trump trade war.

“I won’t forget” ?

👏👏👏

“She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in different rooms” I would argue no one should travel to the U.S. right now because it’s important to vote with your wallet. Don’t spend tourist dollars there Another reason? The threat of being detained by ICE. It’s not safe in America

This is such a great piece about masculine discrepancy stress, specifically about that embodied by Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos

There were certainly signs

Elon Musk is trying to overthrow the fucking government. If people look at the fact pattern dispassionately, rather than from a standpoint of reflexive disbelief, it's very clear that this is exactly what is happening.

"Our government is attacking us. This is worse than any dictatorship where I’ve worked."

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Musk is a greater threat than Trump Every elected Dem official & liberal leader should stop talking about Trump. Make everything a criticism of President Musk Pretend Trump has been overthrown. Only Musk matters. Blame everything on Musk Press will start asking about it & Trump will lose his shit

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found. The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

The trade war may be paused, but the battle is far from over. I know it’s cliché, but we really are stronger together. And if there’s one benefit to all this, it’s how unified we are against Trump’s reckless policies. So let’s keep: 🍁 supporting local 🍁 buying Canadian 🍁 standing up to bullies

“Smith’s repeated insistence that Canada must do what Trump wants looks increasingly naive.” A whole lot of Canadians can think of more forceful words to describe the Alberta Premier’s “strategy” #Canada #Alberta #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency. (Photos shared with me)

Shopify has been openly pro-Nazi for a long while now so this shit from its CEO does not surprise but for those who this does, *quit using Shopify already* 👎🏼

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Here's the roster of youths carrying out Elon Musk's government takeover. Recent high school grads and interns from SpaceX, Palantir, Meta, Neuralink, and xAI, and an engineer for a high-frequency trading firm. By @telliotter.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

So this guy is the guy or the kind of guy who now has direct access to social security checks and tax refunds it seems

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
