Stephen Colbert replies to Trump’s post on Truth Social:

“How dare you sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go fuck yourself.”

Concentration Camp Labor Cannot Become Normal

"With the passage of Trump's death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States."

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Trump on Truth Social: We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country. They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump saying talks with Canada are over, and says new tariffs are coming within a week.

The Digital Services Tax he's complaining about has been in force for a year. (Though the first payment is due at the end of this month.)

Today I wish to thank Dr. Theresa Tam, who is stepping down as Canada's chief public health officer. She maintained her grace despite facing overwhelming pandemic pressures, provincial resistance, repeated disinformation, and ongoing attacks, including conspiracy theories and racist slurs.

Amazing! So proud of people in San Diego.

We must stand strong against this evil.

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

ICE is the modern day gestapo.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.

This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

What a great way to think about privilege compared to how many think of it. Kudos to @mayoclinic.org for helping so many of your staff learn and understand the impact of privilege.

"There’s a tree that I’ve been watching
And I see it in my dreams
For it calls to me and whispers
As it dances in the breeze"

I can't believe the Republicans did this...

Screenshot of a tweet by Homeland Security (@DHSgov) responding to a statement made by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The DHS tweet reads: “It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo. Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will...” Below this tweet is a retweet of a post by Alpha News (@AlphaNewsMN) with a video still of Governor Walz in academic regalia speaking at a podium during a commencement ceremony. The Alpha News tweet states: “During a commencement ceremony speech at the U of M, Gov. Tim Walz described federal ICE agents as 'Trump's modern-day Gestapo.'”

Here, let me fix it. ICE are a bunch of gestapo pigs.

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. What we actually need is full scale prosecutions and long term prison sentences for every one of these wannabe gestapo thugs for violating civil rights.

We all want to know why?

🇷🇴 Romania has chosen. With the confirmation of Nicușor Dan’s victory in the presidential election, Romanian citizens have sent a clear and powerful message: for democracy, for the rule of law, and for a truly European future.

THANK YOU

On our way to Capital Dome NP we stopped to eat at an Indian restaurant. Not only was the food fantastic, but the owner let us stay for the night on his property.

I was labeled as Mount Rainier, but I’m really known as - təqʷuʔmaʔ, təqʷuʔbəd, təqʷuʔbəʔ, taqʷuʔma, təqubəd, təqʷubəʔ, t(xʷ)xʷaq’ʷ. These are just SOME of the names that our ancestors used to reference our beloved mountain 🏔️

It's time to shift from relief to gratitude as Carney helps steer the climate transition Danielle Smith's agitations and the insatiable fossil fuel industry's demands will make climate action difficult, but Canada's new prime minister brings the right qualifications — and will have plenty...

“In Carney we now have the world leader who knows more than any of his peers about climate change. And who knows roughly 20× as much about climate and energy economics as anyone else in power. He may turn out to be a truly crucial figure in the fight to turn the climate tide.”
