If anyone here is truly interested in understanding why the US is the way it is and how it got here (and why it won't recover) should take the time to read this outstanding analysis. It's all right here. #cdnpoli #uspoli

THIS is what the US has come to. Members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front on a train heading into DC on July 4. This is a Pulitzer-Prize winner right here. Well done, @reuters.com! #uspoli #cdnpoli

“Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” - Patrick Henry

Bye. 👋🏻 I gave @netflix.com a week to reply to my correspondence expressing concerns over them purchasing the rights to Masha and the Bear for marketing to Canadian children. The arrogant corporation can't even bother with the basic professional courtesy of a reply. @marcmillermp.bsky.social

47 of 48 teams in the World Cup have universal health care. #cdnpoli #uspoli

This is, of course, the true distillation of today's SC decision. The U.S. is in a worse place, not a better one. Don't be fooled by the wave of relief. It was just one vote. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Important information here Canadians need to reflect on and plan appropriately. Worth your time to read. #cdnpoli #transphobia #antihateca

So mature, candid, reassuring, and inspiring. Thank you, @mark-carney.bsky.social. Proud to have you as our leader.

The top of tomorrow’s column on the Great American State Fair, arguing it’s patriotic to savor a bully’s humiliation:

Extremely encouraging! #cdnpoli #uspoli

SW Nova Scotia is going to be dry as a bone again this year. This is not good. Dry and salinated wells are our future. We will need provincial and federal assistance all along the NS coast, but primarily down here. #cdnpoli #novascotia @ryansnoddon.bsky.social

THIS is why the Democratic Party establishment must be kicked to the curb and left behind. What an infuriating, obnoxious, tone-deaf comment. Sorry, you had your chance, now get in your limo and drive away. #uspoli #cdnpoli #DNC

WTF is wrong with these people??? #cdnpoli

Hoping Denis Cormier pulls this off--looking good! #cdnpoli #nsliberals

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

Every day learning "we hate you, get out" in another language

If you've never seen this short film, you should make the time. DFW's suicide was tremendous loss to humanity & American letters, and never do we feel that loss more acutely than in this commencement speech at Kenyon College. This is simply lovely. #davidfosterwallace #commencement #cdnpoli #uspoli

When people get arrested not because they did anything wrong but because their arrest is politically useful to the regime, that means you’re living in a dictatorship.

USA: When your govt is hellbent on destroying your nation, this is how it's done--with escalating intensity--to get it back. #cdnpoli #uspoli #trump

“You showed a level of character some people never achieve, and you showed it while the entire country and a good part of the world was watching”

C'mon, Canadians! Basically, the petition asks the HoC to refer the constitutionality of Alberta’s Justice Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 to the Supreme Court of Canada & requests investigation of the meetings between the Alberta Prosperity Project & the Trump administration. Please sign! #cdnpoli

Given the shitshow that is the political universe these days, everyone could benefit from watching the video associated with this beaver project in London. Living with nature instead of fighting with it. Very cool stuff. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Outstanding & incredibly insightful interview of Chris Hayes by @ezraklein.bsky.social on the attention economy/charisma component of candidates like Platner, Ossof, Talarico, & El-Sayed. These four & those like them are the future--if the U.S. has one. #cdnpoli #uspoli #ossof #platner #el-sayed

This guy is a clown. How, exactly, are Nova Scotians supposed to prepare exactly? Are they supposed to shower with bottled water they buy themselves? How are people without trucks supposed to cart water around? What about businesses & restaurants w/o running water? #cdnpoli #novascotia #houston

Establishment Democrats got us into this mess--and they insist on perpetuating it. They won't win. #uspoli #hasanabi

Ugh....so astute and accurate. Anything left in that bottle? #cdnpoli #uspoli

The greatest city in the world. ♥️

Americans should be taking notes. For some it's a review; for others, it's, sadly, a first-time lesson. Nicely done, Australia! #uspoli #cdnpoli

There are only two silver linings here: 1. This should teach all Americans that Donald Trump is a cockroach who will survive and thrive in any scenario in which anyone turns away from his corruption for even a *second*. 2. The "Tarp Theater" is now open for nightly projections.

This is exactly right. Trump has won this battle until this tarp comes down. #uspoli #cdnpoli #kennedyctr

This. Excellent analysis of the shitshow in Alberta, and sadly, the ROC. #cdnpoli #uspoli #abpoli

This English Lit educator eagerly awaits this new biography of Emily Brontë. Yes, we speculate. We have to. Indeed, when deftly handled (I'm looking at you, Stephen Greenblatt), these towering literary figures--Uncle Will, Kit Marlowe, Emily Brontë--come to glorious life. #englishlit #bronte

Today I celebrate President Obama. Such grace, charm, charisma, and hope. We love you❤️

I wonder how much press this will get in the U.S.? Kicking Hegseth to the curb on any day is a thing of beauty, but this one resonates. Kudos to the residents of this community to reject this ignorant, racist bozo. #uspoli #cdnpoli #trump #hegseth

Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.

vests, we got vests folks. 30k people on this stream lol www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

A shameful, tone-deaf, & solipsistic display of clueless self-aggrandizing. There's a lunatic in the WH & you're cosplaying Southern seersucker bosses? Is that Susan Collins-- how about you Dems spend time helping Platner take the Senate back? Assholes, each & every one. #uspoli #ussenate #platner

This! And let's cut off the potash, while we're at it! Trump doesn't want to renew CUSMA? Excellent. Let's go! #cdnpoli #uspoli #cusma #trump

People should take the time to watch this. It's an excellent overview of the MAGA/Maple MAGA personality rational people find so baffling. #cdnpoli #uspoli #trump #alberta

Can’t be repeated enough…

In a perfect world, yes, but we don't live in a perfect world. Paraphrasing that evil asshole Rumsfeld, you go to war with the army you have not the one you wish you had. Dems have created this mess. Right now the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds, & Platners are leading the way out. They play rough. All good.

DSA proudly endorses @melatkirosco.bsky.social for Congress! She's a PhD student, barista, and former lawyer fired from her job for defending students protesting for Palestine. Melat is calling for an arms embargo, abolishing ICE, and Medicare for All. Send her to office by donating today ⬇️

If you agree that Hoekstra needs to go, please sign this petition. It's the least we can do! #cdnpoli #hoekstra #uspoli #carney

There is absolutely no justification for this sort of disrespectful taunting of Canadians at this point. Hoekstra should be expelled immediately, @mark-carney.bsky.social . #carney #cdnpoli #uspoli #hoekstra

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Really fascinating new tool that may be a lifeline for attorneys working to file habeas lawsuits to protect their clients' right to bond!

This is how you do it. #uspoli #trump #cdnpoli
