YouTube video by Charlie Angus MESSAGE TO MAGA AMBASSADOR PETE HOEKSTRA

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

Greenland, Panama and Canada all relax momentarily as America turns its imperialistic ambitions onto ...
*checks notes*
America.
They're going to invade America.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

why terraform mars when we can turn earth into mars

Harvard providing free U.S. civics courses in response to the Trump administration's attacks shows how to be petty for the greater good.

This led @oxfamgb.bsky.social to start calculating individual emissions by socioeconomic status.

Accounting for both personal footprint as well as the impact of personal investments in energy & extractive industries, they first found the richest 10% were responsible for half of global emissions.

he should have done the hip flip

He's not trolling, and has said so. This is a man who doesn't understand consent and thinks he can just take what he wants. Americans still don't take Trump seriously enough and are losing their democracy. Canadians know how to deal with a bully. Today we protect our democracy! #elbowsup #never51

Horrific news. I'm shocked and saddened and my heart goes out to friends and the entire Filipino community in Vancouver.

My greatest fear right now is that America, a delusional society with nuclear weapons and a high prevalence of belief in Armageddon as a positive step for humanity, will turn to war when its imbecilic trade war grinds it to dust. Seems increasingly probable to me, likely before the rigged mid terms.

Elbows Up!

X Threatens Our Democracy. Canada Should Ban It | The Tyee The risks of election interference, misinformation and attempts to support a US takeover are too great.

Last year, US lawmakers argued that a social media platform owned by someone close to an autocratic leader can be used as propaganda.

They were talking about TikTok.

For Canada, these concerns apply equally to the app formerly known as Twitter.

“That’s why it’s time to ban Twitter/X in Canada.”
