www.usatoday.com/story/news/p... How is this remotely acceptable to anyone? They have no issue with locking up an innocent man and just leaving him there??

I strongly doubt the rest of the planet's 7 billion citizens are going to tolerate allowing one insane grandpa to do this to all of them for much longer.

I would tend to a agree. This is part one : the World and the American People. Part Two: this I will be the individuals (Obama, Biden, etc).

I don’t know that it’ll ever fully crater because it’s propped up by an actual cult but at some point it would behoove investors to realize that Elon has reduced Tesla’s prospective customer base to about 40% of America and then made sure that most of them don’t have any money

Not a great look.

This trump crash is quite something. I have no idea how any American can support this guy. He is obviously not very smart and an all round terrible person. If you’re not see that, I don’t know what to tell you #trumpcrash #tariffs

When does ‘a bold risky move’ get called out for the idiotic move with absolutely no strategy or thought behind it.

It would seem.

The oil price collapse tells me that the Trump recession has already begun, we are just waiting for the statistics to begin recording and measuring the downturn

Tesla stock: Elon Musk needs to be replaced for TSLA to move on: Gerber - Business Insider As a Tesla owner I would love to see Musk leave. That is the only hope for this company.

Sad to hear that Val Kilmer has passed away. He had a tough last few years with health but 65 is young. A great actor with a long list of classic roles. #ValKilmer

To be super clear: CTV Your Morning approached @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment CTV announced on national TV she would be returning each week Then CTV cancels her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

submitted 15 days ago • 52 comments

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Pierre Poilievre’s main spokesperson personally attacked me this week, and we need to talk about it. Because this is part of a playbook that attacks your freedom to form your own opinions based on all the facts — and it’s not just being used on me.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Doug Ford saw a man with global banking credentials and said: “That’s my type.” Enter Mark Carney: cool, composed and fluent in fiscal flirtation. It’s the bromance no one expected. Sorry, Pierre Poilievre — Doug likes winners who can count. youtu.be/PfUbgZZP9fA
