Fun fact: the game is taking place at the Boston TD arena. TD US Bank is a subsidiary of TD Canada. So we literally already own their asses, lol. On shit that actually matters. 🍁

Before tariffs, Ford says he was β€˜100% happy’ Trump won U.S. election in hot mic comments | Globalnews.ca Speaking to a small group of people at his local campaign headquarters, Ford appeared to explain his initial admiration for President Trump in a moment caught on hot mic.

I sincerely hope this costs Ford the election. Never forget, criminal Conservative grifters protect each other.

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article) A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark β€œProud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Hi, Canadian here. There’s a lot of raised eyebrows up here at the lack of organization or response. YOUR LEADER IS OPENLY THREATENING TO ANNEX MY COUNTRY.
I hate to say this but what the fuck, reasonable Americans? Are you really just going to sit there?
Get it together.πŸ™„

Any ideas on techniques for shaming Tesla drivers one encounters on the road? I already jeer at cybertruck owners but looking to expand my scope…

What you describe is β€œThe Good Germans”…your average folks indoctrinated into Nazi support by bribery and propaganda. They sought for a better life after WWI, choosing to ignore the rise of fascism. This is PRECISELY where the US is now. Time for online pearl clutching is OVER. Time to fight, ppl!

So…it’s β€œnot” ok to let asylum seekers from Palestine fleeing a genocide in..,but it’s ok to let white ppl in from the US?

That seems a bit racist.

Yikes fucking indeed. This should be viewed as an act of aggression. I assume we will deploy our own military to keep an eye on this…but I also hope that the US generals will keep this garbage administration in check, just like they had to last time…

Take off your blinders, they don’t give a fuck about us. They have no humanity. They only care about money and power and they just be removed by any means possible.

Where is footage of the counter protests that should be happening today?

Is it being suppressed by the media or have the American people just given up on salvaging Democracy at this point?

It’s true, my friends list very much was made up of those with…you know…good values. That being said I often waded into comment sections…at first in an attempt to win hearts and minds with logic. When that failed I just got angry and started using morons and bigots as punching bags.

I’d say sharpen those guillotines, but most Americans are so soft they can’t live without TikTok for 16 hours, never mind Amazon, Apple and Facebook.
