Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That’s 4x Higher Than Humans The incidents bring the robotaxi service to a total of 14 crashes since launching last summer. The new data raises concerns about how safe Tesla’s systems really are compared to the average driver.

Conservatives are feeding on the results of their endorsement of PP at their convention.

Every week the US government gets closer to a true fascist state resolved to protect the rich and the pedophiles. And white skin helps too. Don’t look away. See them for what they are.

The U.S. fuel blockade of Cuba, following decades-long sanctions and collective punishment, is causing enormous harm to the people of Cuba, limiting access to fuel, food, and medicine.

Republicans are finding out if they pass the Save Act it will disproportionately reduce voters in Red States as they have the lowest ownership of Passports and ID’s 😏🤣 This is a circus 🎪 🤭

We really need to come to grips with the fact that there’s not going to be legitimate midterm elections with this administration still in power. They know what comes next for them and will do anything to retain power. They need to be removed before the midterms.

This is the danger: unpopularity doesn’t moderate an authoritarian, it accelerates him. When power becomes personal survival, the country turns into collateral damage and restraint has to come from institutions, not hope.

Mark this under things Trump and his minions can’t understand - doing real things for principles and giving up real things for those principles.

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

In tonight’s performance, the part of Jeffrey Epstein will be performed by Donald Trump and the role of Ghislane Maxwell will portrayed by Pam Bondi.

Given US actions against Cuba among others, I think the Geordie Howe bridge should stay #elbowsup. And slow down all the other crossings. Countries need to embargo the US more. The US is close to a rogue terror state and needs to be treated as such.

Gordie Howe taught us to protect our space with our elbows. He’d probably be fine with the bridge being left unopened rather than lower those elbows.

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social ten minutes watching the GEM recording of olympics opening and I want to scratch my eyes out. Sure hope this gets better when the sports start.

Interesting…. In a kind of sad way ….. to see how many global people are being torn down by Epstein while the orange felon carries on. He may need to accelerate his plans for full dictatorship to avoid prosecution for his crimes.

Our good friend Danielle from Alberta can help them source these meds. She did just great with Trylenol. Just don’t expect a good prices, good quality or on time delivery.

Your turn, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

So is Bezos going to rename WaPo “Trumps Trash” or what?

"And even as we produce much excellent work, we too often write from one perspective, for one slice of the audience." The fact that WaPo's executive editor wrote this today illustrates that its leadership still does not understand that they are entirely responsible for destroying the Post.

I wonder if the Proud Boys currently masquerading as ICE will volunteer to be Trumps boots on the ground in whatever war he starts?

Put another way, we could get rid of corn ethanol, switch 30% of the freed-up farmland to solar to generate 100% of US electricity, and use the other 70% of the freed-up land for whatever we want.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

With Trump wildly firing off tariff threats (on Canadian aerospace, Cuba trade, and any other pet peeve), this is a regular reminder that his policies are a self-inflicted wound on US manufacturing. US lost 72K mfg jobs since he started the tariff wars. Canada gained 16K. #cdnecon #canlab

All non seppies need to support this business and all that speak out.

And Donald Trump murmurs .... why not here????

Alberta and Canada. Don't look up. You might see the rush of renewables globally. Build the damn pipeline ..... knowing it might be redundant within a few years. OR be like China -- jump on renewables knowing they will be delivering for decades and decades to come.

Legislation introduced in some two dozen states, including California and New York, would legalize “plug-in solar” systems (also called "balcony solar"), jumpstarting a nascent market for an affordable source of renewable energy for renters, homeowners. Free link. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“It is completely inappropriate to seek to weaken Canada, to seek to go and ask for assistance to break up this country from a foreign power and with respect the president, who is often particularly disrespectful of Canada’s sovereignty.” #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

KINEW: "Wow, all this referendum talk makes me want to have a referendum, too, except in Manitoba, the question is going to be: Do you want to stay a part of Canada? And the two choices are going to be, Yeah, and Heck, yeah."

Fantastic news. Stick that in your vape stick and puff it, Mary Barra. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Hint: get together and throw DJT under that bus. He will put you all under it if he needs to.

How on earth do you negotiate when the other party is led by senility and deep incompetence through the ranks? They only really understand mob/mafia tactics. Canada will stand up to this - making a deal that is reasonable and fair and good for all.

Everyone below Trump will go under the bus in an effort to save himself. You are all expendable and liable for your actions. Best make a deal to take down the boss.

Trump murdered an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist. Alex Pretti saved lives for a living. Trump repaid this American citizen with TEN BULLETS and is now lying about it. Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly.

Elie Wiesel warned that, “to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that “Never Again” is always true.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Let’s bundle up every US flag we can and deliver them to US consulates and embassies around the globe. We don’t need the flag of a fascist nation on our land.

What she said. She is right. Period. Men have no right to decide what a woman can do in such a case.

Try to do better than Canada. Let’s make this a challenge @mark-carney.bsky.social Who can buy more and do more at home?

Maybe look north to Canada.

Fuck off pedophile

This man is no assassin. No domestic terrorist. Just someone who could be any of us who cares deeply about right and wrong. Whose last words were those of care for others in danger. #RIPAlexPretti

Talk of teams boycotting the World Cup. I don’t think you boycott …. But you do assess if you can field a team safely. If you have non-white players you might choose to not take them to the USA today. Just not safe.
