@karinagould.bsky.social I was very impressed with your campaign, and sincerely hope you have a senior role in the next Liberal cabinet. Canada needs you. 🇨🇦

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

What has Musk been up to up north? Tesla reported selling 8,600 vehicles at four locations in Canada in three days - resulting in $43 million in government EV rebates - just before the government stopped those rebates. A single Toronto showroom claimed over 1,200 sales in a single day.

Excited to share a personal project I've been working on. I've heard the best thing you can do for your country in tough times is use the skills you have. So I hope you'll subscribe, share and listen to Elbows Up, a podcast about how, exactly, Canada can be strong and free. Forever. lnk.to/AhF2DG

We will never know— we will never have the faintest idea— how much money is getting made in insider trading windfalls from people in Trump's and Musk's circles who have an hour of notice about the daily swings in tariff policy or the occasional announced *expectations* of such swings.

I mean, who starts a trade war?

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is. Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

Just imagining a string of Saturn V failures putting 1969 Moon landing at risk but Werner von Braun is spending his time cancelling typewriter ribbon contracts at the Federal Highway Administration

Steve Fobister Sr. fought for the health of his community until his last breath. The former chief of Grassy Narrows First Nation in Ontario died of mercury poisoning in 2018. Now, a mercury care home being built in his community will be named after him.

if only there were an agency charged with preventing shit like this that wasn’t under the thumb of the person running the very company that’s doing shit like this

Holy shit are we fucked, pack it in.

#Developing: Justin Trudeau says call with Trump was 'colourful' and trade war will continue for 'foreseeable future'

SCOOP: FEMA's top lawyer was forced out yesterday after less than a week on the job—and sources tell me it was because of his unwillingness to write a memo providing legal cover for the agency's impoundment of $80 million from NYC migrant shelters. Full story:

Legit can’t stop thinking about that Oval Office meeting with Zelensky. Just genuine cruelty and lack of empathy on full display. People have been massacred, land stolen, and they’re trying to gaslight him. How can anyone think Trump and Vance are the good guys in this story? How?

Shit. I figured it out. It's a headline, not a motto.

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Senator @slotkin.senate.gov just gave a concise and compelling rebuttal to 90 minutes of nonsense from Trump, maybe the best I've ever seen, ending it with a call for people to take action. And she did it while looking and sounding like an ordinary person, not a focus-grouped politician. Bravo!

38,000 workers didn’t die building the Panama Canal, and the 5,000 who did die were almost all Afro-Caribbean workers who toiled in segregated conditions under white American supervisors.

Anonymous - 🤣🤣🤣

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

And there it is. Motherfuckers.

At what point do we think someone in Tariff McKinleyFace's orbit will slip up and accidentally tell him the story of how McKinley's presidency ended?

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

what in the fresh hell newrepublic.com/post/192150/...

Trump calling the tariffs “very exciting” because he still doesn’t have a clue how they actually work.

They kidnapped Ukrainian children and forced them to live with Russian families. The few who have been recovered talk about how much they missed their families & how afraid they were they would never go home. They can't sleep. They don't eat enough. Hahaha! Libs owned!

i see we're in the "i dunno, go fix it yourself" phase of governmental collapse this led to roman british independence!

Imagine passing this the same week someone announces an mRNA vaccine may cure one of the deadliest types of cancer People are living in subversive information madness

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

I'm so old I remember when the far right members of Congress said you couldn't have metal detectors at work.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-wee...

Taken with the pullback on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a tough one-two punch agst any semblance of enforcement agst bribery and financial fraud abroad

libs: "hey, let's try to use inclusive language that makes everyone feel welcome" fash: "let's make it illegal to use inclusive language" nyt: "there is no difference between these two things"

There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.

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

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
