Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

True.

Alaska should belong to Canada anyway. It’s not even connected to us.

And Hawaii should be its own sovereign kingdom since we stole it for the pineapples.

Don’t get me started on Guam, Puerto Rico, Mariana, Somoa, Virgin Islands.

We are a REALLY shitty country.

Poilievre used the phrase "test of leadership" to say that @mark-carney.bsky.social is moving too slowly.

Like the "test of leadership" that saw you lose both your seat and the last election, Pierre?

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show.

Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up,

Live updates: Shooter appeared to target CDC headquarters in shooting that left police officer dead, sources say | CNN A police officer was killed during an active shooter incident on the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, according to a law enforcement official.

This is why the regular death threats against me bother me. I will admit that part of me wonders if we should have just let it rip at the beginning and let these people find out the hard way.

Gov. Pritzker is currently using his money to cover logistics and accommodations for the Texas Democrats who fled to Illinois to block the redistricting quorum.
His story of his passion for activism against bullies is an inspiration to us.

Very interesting.

The mothers of Illinois Gov. Pritzker and New York Gov. Hochul were both activists on women's issues. For the mother of @govpritzker.illinois.gov, it was reproductive rights. For @governor.ny.gov's mother it was domestic violence.

Activism builds gumption and courage.

Prime Minister Carney announces pay raises for the Canadian Armed Forces The demands on our Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have only increased in the last thirty years – and their resources and salaries have not kept pace.

www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news...

This increase will result in an 8% raise for colonels and above, a 13% raise for lieutenant-colonels and below, and a 20% increase in starting pay for privates in the Regular Force πŸ‘ˆ this is great. Bottom ranks get higher raise.

Cartels may be able to target witnesses after major court hack There is growing concern that cartels and foreign actors could use the stolen data to identify informants and foil criminal probes.

BREAKING: Drug cartels are feared to be among those that obtained sensitive court data due to a sweeping breach of the federal judiciary’s case filing system.

Justice Dept. Subpoenas Office of Letitia James, Who Sued Trump for Fraud

Attorney General James took on Trump's fraud and the NRA's rampant corruptionβ€”and won both cases.

So it's little wonder that Trump's politicized DOJ is now coming after her.

The people of New York stand with their lawyer and champion.

He needs a war to distract and deflect.

P2025 needs a war to fully succeed.

They need to be able to invoke the Insurrection Act to stop elections and silence the people. They have implied this since day one.

Invading a Latin American country gives them all the racist cover they need for the Cult

Interesting. PEI probably makes sense since, between tourism & farming, many of that age group would have (at least, temporary) jobs.

Also, that age group is primary high-school & undergraduate university. I wonder whether % is of the entire age-group, or how many are active looking and can’t find?

Dutch Village Road, an urban road in Halifax, at the intersection with Joseph Howe Drive. The street is under construction, but this section is nearing completion. A strip of trees and a bike lane have been added between the roadway and sidewalk, which have been completely reconstructed. A woman is riding a bicycle on the bike lane. There's a Halifax Transit bus in the background.
