I'm a blockchain guy since 2013 who hates Trump with every fibre of his being. I spend every day scowling at my colleagues through a computer monitor. But my resume is useless in any other industry, and I don't expect sympathy from BlueSky

OK, after watching the video of them kill that Alex guy, I feel bad for having said this, sorry

OK so who the fuck are we supposed to trade with, then? BC has lumber it needs to sell, and the USA put a million percent tariffs on it. We need to have a customer somewhere. Unreasonable POS

If you're an American who didn't support Kamala because you were mad that she's not progressive enough, I hope ICE gets you.

If you say "not all men" in a discussion about gender equality, American progressives will eat you alive.

But when they say "not all Americans" in a discussion about Trump's America, suddenly we're supposed to be sympathetic.

It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

This quote perfectly summarizes how I expect Canada to respond to Trump.

The idea that Canada needs F35s to protect against Russia is a ludicrous fantasy because Russia's only aircraft carrier has a tug boat, due to how frequently its engine fails. Its captain will never have the bravery required to sail to Canada, and if it did, few pilots would risk landing on it.

I can't yet ceremonially burn my American #passport due to the fire ban in Canada, so for now I am using it as a coaster. This aloe plant is propped up by fascism

If Bibi comes to Canada we should use him as a bargaining chip. The next time Trump says 51st state, we send Bibi to Afghanistan in a gift box

Is nuclear non-proliferation worth as much as free dental care? Is it worth benefits for your children such as subsidized daycare? Or perhaps we could start reducing disability benefits. One of those things is mathematically guaranteed to happen

Getting nuclear weapons would cost Canada way less than 5% of GDP. I think we could do it for under 2.5%

If we really want to just give into Trump's demands on this issue, you should know, there is no way of doing that without cutting social programs. You are going to lose something precious to you

Donald Trump's latest threats are baseless, unfair and unacceptable. He's determined to hurt our economy.

The Carney government should not give in to any more unilateral demands without an equal benefit from Trump.

Trump’s newest tariffs’ threats will hurt Canadian workers NDP leader Don Davies issued the following statement:

Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats will hurt Canadian workers. PM Carney promised "elbows up" during the election - Canadians expect him to keep that promise. New Democrats renew our call for the government to stand strong.

Trump can't pretend the USA isn't involved in the Israel-Iran war while it is intercepting Iranian missiles on Israel's behalf. The West needs to completely back away from the conflict or else Iran will have to close the Straight of Hormuz, sending oil to $150 a barrel.

Gardening is good for building strength if you're obsessive enough about it. For my OCD, I have to keep moving this plant around so it stays in the sunlight in our north-facing apartment. But the more I do this, the bigger and heavier it gets.

You're disproportionately upset at Ukraine, though, it seems. They are not equivalently burdensome to the American people. So it makes no sense to treat them equivalently unless you have a bias.

And yet you sat there and allowed vastly more money to go to Israel even though they don't have to pay any back as loans like Ukraine does. You also didn't care that Israel is allowed to spend their money domestically, boosting their economy, while Ukraine must buy from American factories

Israel is by far the number one foreign recipient of US tax dollars. We spent more on Israel than the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt Europe after WW2. When you consider also how many wars Israel dragged us into, Ukraine is quite insignificant by comparison.

I am SO TIRED of hearing about MAGA talk about the defense "pivot to Asia." The money they are taking from Ukraine is NOT going to Asia. Asian countries still PAY FULL PRICE for American weapons, unlike Israel. Please desist with these ridiculous lies.

I feel like a lot of this could have been avoided if ICE just chose to dress differently and acted a bit more politely. Were the skull masks really necessary, for example? What practical purpose did it serve to depict human bones on their head attire?

Although technically it is legitimate for the US federal government to detain illegal immigrants, the way ICE looks while doing it is kinda gross. My nose wrinkles instinctively when I see pictures of them, as though a foul odor had wafted by. I would avoid sitting next to one of them on the bus

If Russia wants to draw a red line at attacking its nuclear bombers, it needs to stop using them to shoot non-nuclear missiles at Ukrainian cities. That's highly unreasonable

How will Ukraine’s attack on Russian bombers affect the war? An unprecedented assault on the eve of negotiations aimed at ending the conflict weakens Russia’s image, observers say.

FUN FACT: the drones were transported by a Russian truck driver who had no idea what he was carrying. He was surprised when one day the container opened and a flock of drones flew out, and ran around panicking while the drones destroyed 1/3 of the Russian air force. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

According to NPR, there has been a 750% increase in American doctors applying to work in Canada. That's pretty phenomenal considering how little we pay health workers up here and the conditions we force them to work in.
