"MAGA allows for no breathing room after a tragedy, no space for unity. Instead, Trumpists immediately try to use the corpses to score political points without regard for the facts. Trump is a small, petty man and as a result, the GOP becomes smaller and pettier every day." — @playtyperguy.com

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

#Canada #2 in global preference for Foreign Direct Investment. Keep calm and #Carney on! 🇨🇦💪

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

I just did the math, and yes, this checks out.

BECAUSE TOO MANY AMERICANS DON'T VOTE, DEMOCRACY IS IN THE PROCESS OF DYING!!! THE NATIONAL ANTHEM HAS LOST IT'S MEANING!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

Worst approval ratings, ever.

We subscribe to @macleans.bsky.social. The current issue on The New Nationalism is fantastic. Love the editor Sarah Fulford! She consistently puts out a great magazine. I took a photo of the section showing the differences between Americans and Canadians, in case you thought there weren’t any. 🍁🇨🇦

The Canadian Digital Services Tax 🍁 makes me somewhat mollified in my disgust for the "egregious" and "ignominious" travesty of a moral compass displayed by the Bezos wedding this weekend. Continuing to boycott Amazon feels even better. Keep your compasses pointed True North, Canada! 🧭 Elbows Up!❤️🇨🇦

NEW – Guest post: How solar panels and batteries can now run ‘close to 24/365’ in some cities | @cleanpowerdave.bsky.social‬ Kostantsa Rangelova Read here: buff.ly/QqxebJM

We knew China's rush to install solar and wind was going to be wild but WOW😮. The solar panels & wind turbines China installed in May alone, in a single month, will generarate as much electricity as: -Poland -Sweden -Norway -the UAE -North Carolina&Maryland or -Washington&Wyoming

Movements rely on momentum, and there’s no doubt that Pierre Poilievre has lost his. He rode the same wave of anger that fuelled the influencers who supported him; now that anger has dissipated, and so has Poilievre’s fire. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/25/o...

So some of the world’s richest digital firms based in the USA & which operate in Canada making more than $20m from Canadians are now going to pay a 3% tax on their Canadian profits. Doesn’t seem so unfair to me! You’re a business making money in Canada, then pay some tax! 🇨🇦 #canada #cdnpoli #cdnnews

Hey Canada MSM Ignore Trump, we the people in 🇨🇦 do. Stop overreacting to everything he says! He keeps playing you! #BuyCanadian 🇨🇦 3% tax on Google, Meta, Amazon etc…. It’s a good idea, just bc 🇺🇸 won’t tax billionaires doesn’t mean we can’t This tax was made law 2024… it’s nothing new!

They said the were “closing in” on the J6 pipe bomber, they were going to release Epstein files, catch the Dobbs brief leaker, arrest whoever had cocaine in WH, Fauci was going to prison. None of it happened. All BS.

The One Canadian Economy Act has received Royal Assent. With it, we’ll break down more barriers to internal trade and build big things faster across the country. Thanks to all the Members of Parliament and Senators — from all parties — who got this done, together.

Tacky wealth hoarders #JeffBezos & his wife, #LaurenSanchez (founder of Black Ops Aviation 🤨), are holding their $30M wedding this weekend near Venice, while Sanchez sports not one, but 2 massive multi-million 💵 diamond rings. That one excessive diamond wasn’t enough, is an apt metaphor. #TaxTheRich

Makes perfect sense.

Have you heard the good news? Because of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, companies have invested $9.1B in US solar factories & $36.7B more in facilities that are under construction. This will create 60k more Biden manufacturing jobs. But Trump wants to stop it. 🍊💩🤡😠 www.npr.org/2025/06/27/n...

📌We've become the brutal, authoritarian country you used to see on TV and say, "Damn, thank God I don't live there ..."

About to join @jenpsaki.msnbc.com live on @msnbc.com.

Genuinely thought this was a joke, but folks, it's real. The actual DHS -- actual federal law enforcement -- has sent out this video as justification for 7 masked, armed men violently assaulting a veteran.

You wouldn’t say this to his face though! Disagree with Zohran, that’s fine, but stuff like this shows just how weak the Repub Party is They say stuff like this because they have NO ANSWERS on the economy or anything else, because their moron “President” is destroying America!

. Trumpism is destroying American exports and alliances around the world. Decades of building is being wilfully destroyed. It's a tragedy... a nation committing suicide (or an administration building an autocracy) !

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Not giving VPOTUS a pass on deliberately misnaming a senator he knows and chose to misname as a racist whistle -nothing dog whistle about it BOLO: JD Vance or J.D. Vance alias James Donald Bowman aka James David Hamel or could be J.D. Hamel or possibly James D. Hamel or maybe James David Vance

150 “Pro-Palestinian activists” destroyed Ukrainian military aid worth $1.1M at a facility in Belgium, allegedly “confusing it with Israeli”, media reports. How long until we find out they speak Russian?

a crowd has gathered at the UVA rotunda in response to the forced resignation of president jim ryan

How is it a contentious proposition that a system where people stockpile massive amounts of wealth while other people go hungry needs some changes.If you made it about food instead of dollar bills everyone would agree. I want more food than I can ever eat while you starve would be objectively evil.

“Everyone has gone mad” is increasingly just a deflection for “rich dudes believe totally kooky shit and use their money and kookiness to build influence networks where people have to fawn all over their kookiness like it’s genius” This is. Yeah. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/o...

The orange felon actually said that he told our enemy Iran that it was okay to strike the US military base in Qatar at 1 o’clock. How is this not treasonous? Congress is completely dead.
