If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Just got my voter card in the mail. Looking forward to election day in two weeks! Elbows up, Canada! Our democracy is worth protecting in the face of Trump's threats!

At the risk of pissing off the U.S. government, allow me to make my stance very clear: diversity is not a dirty word. Call me a bleeding-heart Woke lib, whatever. Regardless of where we're born, what we look like or who we love, we're all human. #politics #dei medium.com/weeds-wildfl...

Economic uncertainty is a very mild descriptor. Looking at just this past week, it's safe to say that nobody can predict what's going to happen this year. It's time to stop trusting to governments, and to start trusting each other. #politics #economy #tariffs www.world-weary.com/p/mutual-aid...

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Just saw someone in a stream chat say "When you let your little brother play your Total War campaign and he cancels all your trade agreements." I mean, yeah, that's about right. Hey fun fact, Canada-to-U.S. flight bookings are down over 70%, too. Goodbye tourism dollars on top of it all. Yikes.

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

I'm still reeling over the tariff orders from yesterday. I'm watching the speech Trump gave before signing the EO, and even for him, this is completely bonkers! Anyone who knows even a little bit about how tariffs work could tell you that this is total fucking lunacy!

My gaming group chat includes an accountant with full degrees and a nihilistic 'crash it, let it all burn' attitude on a good day. She's giving us a very professional 'here's how MUCH is going to burn!' lecture right now. It's fascinating...and frightening.

Anybody else watching the Dow shit a brick while they sip their morning coffee? I've just gone and warned my U.S. family members to cancel travel plans and save, and put out a warning to my Substack audience as well. This is...this is horrific.

No, we are not letting him run for a 3rd term. Period. End of story. Every single journalist & news reporter better not entertain this in the slightest. They’re dangling this to groom people into eventually not even seeing it as crazy & wrong. Also, the 22nd Amendment. Ok, glad we had this chat!

I'm a lifelong gamer and a lore nerd. Among my absolute favourite series is the Fallout franchise. I was surprised at how well the show captured the feeling of the games! I'm unnerved at how well reality is starting to capture that feeling, too. #politics #Trump www.world-weary.com/p/its-beginn...

I visited the Smithsonian and the Holocaust Memorial Museum when I visited Washington D.C. I'm glad I did. I imagine the most vital, poignant and painfully necessary exhibits in both will be gone before too long. apnews.com/article/trum...

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Every now and then I see an American mocking the ‘51st State’ thing as a stupid idea because ‘making Canada a State would make America more Liberal.’ Okay. A lot to unpack here. First of all, if you think Trump intends to give Canadians the right to vote after annexing us, you’re being ridiculous.

One of the core elements of fascism is an emphasis on rigid gender roles. Women are subjugated, and the role of wife and mother is glorified and held up as our ultimate achievement. #politics #fascism #tradwife open.substack.com/pub/samw1368...

From the man who backed out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg and an appearance on the Daily Show: "I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat". This is "my dad works for Nintendo" level stuff.
