Can’t attend, previous commitments, washing our hands — off you.

Strengthening the EU's political, geographic, and economic interests (and political investment) in the Arctic cannot come soon enough, especially as Canada's rapprochement with our European and Nordic partners continues to evolve. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇮🇸🇪🇺 @thorduroskarsson.bsky.social

We all know what happened after Weimar - and it wasn’t kings.

Call Them What They Are The Republican Party has become a haven for Nazi sympathizers.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social calls them as he sees them. The rhetoric, the aesthetics, the policies - all there. This German-born and -raised Canadian has been gagging an American Nazism for years; Nichols clinically charts their course into the Republican mainstream.

He’s trying to win Greenlanders’ hearts and minds by having them all burst into laughter at the same time…?

In awe of the doctors, nurses & staff at the @ottawahospital.on.ca, whose detailed patient preparation, professionalism and kindness made my total shoulder replacement surgery at the Riverside campus yesterday (almost) a breeze. And it didn’t cost me a penny! Three cheers for universal health care!

Trump has a friend? Surely you mean “one of his donors”…

In which we discover that Tilly is not a cat - she’s a Flerken. #tilly #caturday #flerken

Great way to spend some of that $500 billion they can’t find a home for…

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

We’re at the “rage-tweets-for-sale” phase of the Trump presidency. 🤡

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

"They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination. ... Some of us were kept alive, to work loading bodies."

Reminds me of that line in AvChristmas Carol: “They might as well die and reduce the surplus population!”

Well, colour me surprised (not). 💰💶💰💵💰

And there it is. Trump tariffs have absolutely nothing to do with trade policy or revenue. They are a weapon of war - economic coercion as an act of aggression. A cudgel of dominance to be wielded on a whim by a tantrum-prone narcissist with the raging ID characteristic of fronto-temporal dementia.

Not that we need any more evidence that Trump is doing ethnic cleansing, but the way this regime keeps pushing for random changes in green card processes, asylum, and TPS to suddenly make people undocumented drives home that none of this is about someone's legal status.

Donald Trump, addressing his tariff loss, actually just said, of the countries he's launched trade wars against:

"They're dancing in the streets. They won't be dancing for long."

He sounds like a fucking Batman villain.

Oh,good. Make America Think It’s Great - again. As always, image over substance, the hallmark of propaganda by desperate regimes.

“Emergency powers tend to kindle emergencies”. Indeed they do - bootstrapping powers has been the single greatest characteristic (apart from cruelty, corruption, and lying) of the Trump administration.

Been the playbook of the far right for years: Freedom of expression = permission to be a racist, bigot, homophobe, or outright Nazi. Criticizing racism, bigotry, homophobia, or Nazis = CaNcEL cULtUrE!!

Seems to me that cancelling racism is a pretty good idea, no?

Do these people ever actually work?

This deserves an award.

Sapamurat Turkmenbashi Niyazov the Eternally Great, erstwhile supreme leader of Turkmenistan, would approve of this use of the Great Leader's inspiring, divine, and beauteous visage. Like an authoritarian Disneyland, with one cartoon character.

Look how much Canadians hate the United States now It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

Or else, this is nothing more than a deliberate leak, to assist Trump's usual "art of the deal" approach (gimme what I want or I will obliterate you). Guess we'll see when he TACOs.

TIL that the economic term for this particular kind of corruption is "rent-seeking": the pursuit of wealth by manipulating the political environment rather than through, say, production or innovation. Wealth at the expense of others, leading to reduced competition and increased income inequality.

This is so backwards, it's weaponized imbecility. How can a President decide on priorities if he refuses to be briefed? "I don't wanna hear about any missiles coming in today" is a hell of an approach on national security - but totally consistent with deciding to end programs on, say, cybersecurity.
