If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
The common thread I keep reading is “how many have to die for people to wake up?”
You know the answer.
You just don’t want to face it.
oh it's going to be a Recession recession
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
Dear citizens of North Dakota and Minnesota,
Sorry about the smoke.
Boreal forest is tinder dry
And burning to a crisp.
Would chat longer, but
You know.
Gotta some fires to deal with.
Sincerely,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba

Hey! America
If you can’t quite place this existential dread you’re feeling, here’s how to clock it;
Imagine you are reading these events in a textbook 100-150 years from now.
“When considering root causes for World War Three, one must take the race for wealth acquisition into account…”
If you know one small iota of East Asian history, then you know how MONUMENTAL this is.
The factions are forming.
Brace yourselves folks, it’s only going to get wilder from here…
#politics #trade #tradewar #tariffs
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
So if Trump is going to tariff 🇻🇪 oil & gas to the tune of 25%, and enforce that tariff globally if it goes through 🇺🇸 brokers, all while winding down and ceasing the import of said oil & gas…
…would now be the time for 🇨🇦 to start squeezing the tap? He doesn’t need it after all.
#cdnpoli #uspoli
Does that include himself?
Because the last known information I’m working with is that the US buys a decent amount of oil and/or gas from Venezuela…
Canada is everything.
Don’t let them scare you.
Don’t let them get you to give up hope.
This is what they want more than anything.
Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.
All you need to know about Twitter
“She describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.”
Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.
History repeats itself
a picture of a book text. The text says "Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek 'Kai su, teknon' (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin 'Et tu, Brute'. It literally means 'You too, child', but what Caesar may have intended by the words isnt clear. Tempest cites 'an important article' by James Russell (1980) 'that has often been overlooked'. Russel points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggest that Caesar's putative last words were not 'the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son' but more along the lines of 'See you in hell, punk'.
Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words

I cannot do much as a Canadian, but I can definitely repost this and say that as Canadians we should be promoting their voices to our remaining American friends as much as possible.
These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.
Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters
Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.
If you don't see what the felon is doing in the US, you have blinders on. When the Soviet Union fell and they fired thousands of their government workers and paired everything down, the rich (Oligarchs) took everything over. The felon is doing the same thing in the US.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days.
Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House.
It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.
When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.
Is Poilievre allowed to hand pick journalists questioning him this afternoon (Besides Radio Canada)??? First journalist suggested the liberal leadership vote results are questionable. What???
Mark Carney has been Prime Minister for the lordly sum of two hours, and the misinformation bots are already hard at work on Meta and YT.
At least we know what the Russians are doing today…

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid
In it together

PLEASE. I implore the people of BC - vote to keep the CPC out. AB, SK, and MB urban voters get SCREWED b/c of our blended ridings. We can vote NDP/Liberal 11 times out of 10, but some backwards Maple MAGA dipsh*ts outvote us every time.
Our sovereignty is at stake this time. Please.
