Amen to that.

Mood.

A view from north of the border Friends,

From time to time, I bring you views about what’s happening in the United States from writers and journalists in other countries.

This piece is from a columnist in Canada. Read it and let me know your thoughts.

I LOVE this for them. Mehta > Meta

A tweet by James F. Love IV captioned "Best response yet," featuring a quote from a German citizen: "You don't think that was a Nazi salute, come try it in Germany, Elon. I f***ing dare you."

Do it, Elon!

Note that anyone can email the snitch line, DEIAtruth@opm.gov. So if you’ve got any, uh, thoughts or information you’d like to share about this initiative, fire off that email today!

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

This. From Michael Steele.

"Police officers are on the front line for a reason. As a community or nation, we do not want to embrace the idea that anyone can cross that line and that there are no consequences for doing so. By offering these pardons, Trump has broken that line."

A tweet from Pop Base reporting on Anders Vistisen, a European Parliament member, responding to Donald Trump’s interest in purchasing Greenland. The quote reads, "Listen very carefully... [Greenland] is not for sale. Let me put it in words you might understand — Mr. Trump, f*** off." The image includes photos of Anders Vistisen on the left and Donald Trump on the right.

I’m glad he said it!

Explained: how Trump’s day one orders reveal a White House for big oil From LNG to drilling in Alaska, here’s everything you need to know about Trump’s energy and climate executive orders

Big Oil spent ~$100 million to boost Trump in 2024.

This fell short of the $1 billion he asked for, but it's already paying dividends.

Trump loaded his cabinet with Big Oil lackeys, withdrew from the Paris Agreement, and moved to expand drilling in Alaska.

Follow the money.

Hey kids, remember that the X logo is just a sans serif swastika

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Remember the accusation that Harris was being fed questions by another network?

Always projection with Trump.

The fact that Trump and his MAGA minions are spreading incredibly dangerous disinformation about the emergency response to the catastrophic fires in California is fucking criminal.

It’s not even remotely surprising, but it is nonetheless fucking reprehensible.

9 States Poised To End Coverage for Millions if Trump Cuts Medicaid Funding - KFF Health News About 3.7 million people are at immediate risk of losing health coverage should the federal government cut funding for Medicaid expansions, as some allies of President-elect Donald Trump have proposed...

3.7 million people to lose ACA expansion. It’d be great if the Democratic Party was in the streets shouting about this in these states.

A wonderful book and I highly recommend!

Reminder: Elon Musk's fortune was jumpstarted by billions in subsidies and contracts paid for by American taxpayers.

Iv always lived in houses with gender neutral bathrooms

Release the report!

I would watch this!

Elon Musk Sued For Fraud By Petition Signers Over Million Dollar Vote Buying Scheme Fraudster gonna fraud.

Fraudster gonna fraud.

It’s been horrible to watch Trump nominate a wrecking crew into top positions at critical agencies and departments. But Trump is overreaching, and his choices are creating fissures within his own team and among Congressional Republicans. My write up in the replies.
