“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record) I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

I refuse to normalize him. I did not vote for him, he does not represent me, and I do not believe he is at all deserving of being here—and so I grieve his ascension and resist his ugliness. I will not comply, bow, or obey. FULL POST: johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...

Elbows up, Canada.

First comes the economic pressure. Then comes the disinformation; particularly acute during an election cycle. If you see disinformation you MUST report it and counter it. Don’t give American astrofurfers one inch of breathing space. Shut ‘em down.

Canadian friends still on Twitter, please consider deleting your account. It’s a known disinformation platform, and is now a threat to national security. Every place of data you have there will be used against you, and against us.

It’s elbows up time! Buy local. Buy Canadian.

Trump’s admin is nearly finished the RAGE step of a plan inspired by Yarvin’s butterfly writings which idolize a tech autocracy. (Retire All Government Employees) The next step is to ignore all court rulings. If it takes 10% of a population to impact policy; what is the US up to now?

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Today is the anniversary of the Reichstag Fire, just sharing for no particular reason. apnews.com/today-in-his...

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Good luck Ontario friends!

ONTARIO GO VOTE 🥲

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

Fun fact: Miloš Zelníček was an active and reliable agent of the secret police of Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia. This feared institution was a highly organized extension of the Soviet secret police, the KGB. Miloš Zelníček was the father of Ivana Zelníčková, as in Ivana Trump.

USAID informed employees via email that it is terminating 2,000 workers and placing thousands of foreign service officers and other direct hires worldwide on paid leave, effective tonight.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.
