The EU, Canada, Aus/NZ, Japan, South Korea, the Gulf States — these can step up. The US is what, 5% of the planet’s population and 15% of its GDP.

It is time for Canada to suspend the Safe Third Country Act as far as the USA is concerned. They are deporting people with protected refugee status, people with green cards, people with valid visas, and now citizens.

Europe is prosecuting those connected to Epstein - as the Trump regime chooses to do NOTHING

The world’s richest dickheads have bet enormous sums of money on a perpetual motion machine that few people like or want, and even fewer are willing to pay for. So now, they are going to lose a gajillion dollars. Hopefully it doesn’t also tank fuck out of pension funds or similar.

"If remembering the fallen is a violation of the rules,then silence about their killers is complicity” Ukrainian footballers at the Russian‑destroyed Lokomotyv stadium in Kyiv showed their support for Vladyslav Heraskevych,who was disqualified before the first run of the 2026 Olympic skeleton event

It is objectively true, as some of these posts highlight, that because publications have been gutted and have laid off fact checkers and editors, they are now way more vulnerable to running AI generated stories from artificial freelancers. this perpetuates a slop ouroboros.

the column is certifiable. 71% of Albertans did not support separation in the Angus Reid poll, but that apparently doesn’t mean they don’t support separation, because only 29% of Quebecois want separation and they have a whole separatist party!! Dear gods.

But Canada is responsible for the flood of drugs into America, right? Right?

Because of course the US is entitled to half of a bridge that’s been entirely funded by Canada. Because, apparently, they own everything. Can we just close the border? Completely? To everything?

Some colleagues in my old department in Trondheim are recruiting a PhD candidate in Gender Studies and/or STS on the "Imagining Positive Energy Futures" project. 3 years, fully funded. Norway's a good place to do a PhD and Trondheim's a nice place to live!

And the 80s was, I dunno, 20 years ago? 25? I want Gens Y and Z to stop snickering right now, because *glares bodingly* it will happen to you too!

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

More plagues, courtesy of the forced birth people!

Oh how excellent!!

This is, exactly, what February feels like. Fortunately there will be crocuses at the end of it.

1/5🧵 #Russia #Ukraine #Trump #US #Europe To be clear; There are no negotiations taking place, but a theater. Here's a sum up of the goals of the three parties, and the degree these goals are acomplished⤵️

Like so many acts of this administration, it doesn't just undermine the functions of government but inverts them.

Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.

He’s going to tear it down and build a cheapjack Atlantic City casino.

This is appalling — particularly Chomsky — but seriously, not surprising.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

This is a bit too cute for the man, who is an evil Tetley tea elf.

OH NO!! Not just Moira, but so many other fabulous comic bits. . .

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

He was specific on which ones he'd decertify. I guess there's going to be THOUSANDS of flight cancellations this week. youtube.com/shorts/AAjzp...

the FAA has not pulled certifications for anything and approximately 12 seconds after they attempt it they would be sued because the while the FAA has broad statutory authority for emergency grounding, they actually cannot do so "because pedophile grandpa is mad at Canada"

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Donald Trump, super genius

So reliable! Absolutely sane!! I’d put good money on him closing the border to all trade by the fall.

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

Oh, awesome. Here comes the shitstorm. The only thing that makes this marginally better is the fact that they’ve once again selected utter tools as tools.

And the stock is up on the news.

They wore yellow stars to complain about vaccine mandates

Ouch ouch ouch.

Math skills like this may be why the DXY index keeps falling. And why the Germans want their gold back.

America, 2026.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

This is impossible bullshit.

One thing that doesn't get articulated enough about reactionaries like Trump is that they are fundamentally parasitic. Yes, you can get ahead, temporarily, by acting without shame in a rule-bound system, because other people expect rule-bound behavior. You can "stun" the system into passivity.

And there it is.

Agree. No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world. (Speaking as an American patriot.)

This is the worst America has been in my lifetime, and I am horrified by the thought that it’s likely to get much worse. It’s like living in a zombie movie.
