He'd be his valentine

DOGE is creating the very deep state they imagined existed.

The radical right in the US is not engaged in a grand geopolitical strategy. It is pursuing an ideological campaign against its true enemy, which is not China or Russia but liberalism. The US culture war has gone global. The Trump administration hates liberals at home and liberal democracies abroad.

This just in from the Pew Research Center - the President's approval ratings are higher than his first term. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

How did we get to a point where loud and stupid asshole-ism had to be treated with deference while America's progressive tradition is in shell-shocked retreat? #CanadianThreads

Anyone? Anyone? “It did not work and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.”

Excellent analysis, as always. Thanks to @rosiebarton.bsky.social @acoyne.bsky.social @althiaraj.bsky.social #CanadianThreads

Brian Stelter yesterday posted a December 9, 2017, quote from the New York Times: "Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each Presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals." Stelter wrote: “I think about this quote a lot.”

Brilliant demonstration of the hypocrisy...

Remember how shocked everyone was when Yugoslavia, arguably a first world nation, fell into civil war over ethnic/nationalistic tensions? #uspolitics

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

New York Times 1933. We know appeasement doesn't work. #CanadianThreads

Why isn't anyone focussing on Stephen Miller and the 2050 Gang? We all know Trump is a figurehead who'd be neutered without them. He really hates it when the focus isn't him, though. @youranoncentral.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social |

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech. Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

Don't let it get lost in the absurdity of the situation: declaring economic war on Canada combined with explicit threats demanding their annexation isn't just breaking our treaty obligations and American constitutional and statutory law, though it's also those. It is a literal international crime.

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system. And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

Time for a new generation to take over. #dems

“Buy Canadian” means cancelling your National Post and Toronto SUN subscriptions. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. I’m for Canada. I am Canadian. 🇨🇦

As a former civil servant I endorse this statement

Anyone in the biz know how we can convince produce brokers/grocery chains to ship direct to Canada from Central and South America instead of shipping through the US? #CanadianThreads #BuyCanadian

Today's connect the dots moment... The International Democracy Union is chaired by former Canadian PM Stephen Harper, Pierre Poilievre's mentor. The Conservative Party is a member of the organization. Below is a recent social media post by the organization supporting the rise of fascism in the U.S.

Meanwhile - seven minutes of mash-ups you never knew you wanted, but will love!
