GOP has started hacking off a finger to see if that qwells the anger. Don't let it. Noem is not the mastermind here (obviously). Its the entire GOP that has to go.

This is more like it! It sounds like a small thing, but when countries all over the world take concrete steps like this, it reduces American influence and shrinks their financial footprint. Sovereign, non-US digital systems are a necessity for democratic nations. Be like France 🇫🇷!

Not confident the Dems will even live up to that low bar.

MAHA: Make America Hospitalized Again 😞

Gee, I wonder if this attack has *anything* to do with the fact that Trump has been constantly berating, dehumanizing, and calling for targeting of Omar for weeks.

While Trump is lighting the world on fire to distract from the #EpsteinFiles, he's also distracting everyone from the very preventable tragedies Russia is imposing on Ukraine every day. Help Ukraine win. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Bingo🎯. And US GDP is about 12% of the world economy, and that's including the effect of the AI bubble that has fuelled their GDP growth. The USA *is* the biggest trading partner, but the others combined are much larger. Let's do business with them instead. www.worldeconomics.com/Share-of-Glo...

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

WTAF - ICE has no business in Italy, and I hope our Italian friends make sure they know it!

Yes, we are here. There is a non-zero chance that Canada will have to: 1) House American refugees of a civil war 2) Defend against one or more warring US factions 3) Both of the above I will never forgive MAGA.

Canadian applications for Nexus passes have plummeted 51% YoY, reversing a multi-year upwards trend. Gee, why might Canadians be losing interest in travelling to the US? 🙃 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Trump is trying to give Russia exactly what they want & call it a ‘peace deal.’ It’s in fact a guarantee for a bigger war. Donbas is Ukraine’s main line of defense. The region is heavily fortified & holds Russia back from attacking the rest of Ukraine, & from there the EU.

NEW: A federal judge in Minnesota orders Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to appear IN PERSON this Friday and explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt. "The court's patience is at an end," writes Bush-appointed Judge Patrick J Schiltz, who clerked for Scalia. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

What Rutte does not seem to get is that the USA will not defend Europe anyway. Doesnt matter what Europe wants. And of course Europe can defend itself.

Shit’s so bad in Minnesota that he’s gonna have to release the Epstein files to distract from it

10/10 guide on how to make sure you aren't running your own server with media you control without enriching US billionaires. Protect yourself! Know what not to do!

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Note how in Abu Dhabi, Russia again rejected the ceasefire Ukraine agreed to almost a year ago. Ru doesn’t want peace. Journalists need to always front load this main point instead of talking about how the sides are still far apart as if they are equidistant and peace is in the middle.

Canadian companies should not be doing business with fascist regimes. I don't care if the money is good.

Is it a good sign when local newspapers are doing tear gas explainers

TikTok just finished closing a deal for ownership by US joint venture headed up by Larry Ellison...within a day there are reports of anti-Trump and anti-ICE posts getting shadowbanned or strikes. Better check how this is working in Canada...I'd just delete the app.

"Trump originally expressed support for Ottawa's agreement with China but he changed his tune after Carney's widely praised speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week." The correct framing! Trump's pettiness is absolutely without bounds.

I know there's a lot going on right now, but reminder here that Russia is currently engaged in wholesale targeting of Ukrainian civilians because they had the nerve to...survive. Fascism and authoritarianism must be fought everywhere.

Key distinction: the AB separatists don't want to be their own country. They want to be Trump's vassal. That looks good to them. Our country needs to address misinformation and social media, like, right now.

Carney is demonstrating the character we hoped for from business leaders; not leveraging his relationship for profit…but for a greater good. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Gripen would work just fine in the role. US is, again, threatening our sovereignty if we don't buy their jets. The more they do this, the more I'm certain Gripen is a better choice.

100% this. We need a national strategy to address this, including investment in our education systems to teach inoculation against misinformation/disinformation. They aren't done by a long shot.

If you work in IT and you can influence purchasing, lobby against @hootsuite.com. If they will help kill Americans they will help kill Canadians too.

Trump: *demented screaming at Canada* Also Trump: "hey where are you going, Canada?" Master strategy!

Update: ICE has lost the r/MassiveCock Reddit community 😂

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

New government surveillance tool just dropped. If you’re on TikTok, the location data in particular is concerning, but I’ve been reading this weekend about algorithm and moderation changes too that make clear the intent of the Trump-friendly new owners. The platform is now a propaganda panopticon.

Purposefully making products bad to juice revenue is exactly what MBA programs* teach students to view as "rational"--the kind of strategy that gets raises and promotions. * How very dare I critique MBAs? I was a biz school prof for 9yrs & an HBS MBA student, after working in SilValley startup.

We're gonna need a bigger Hague.

I've reached out to all Canadian companies listed here to ask if they intend to continue working with ICE: Hootsuite Roshel Garda Jim Pattison Developments I've also reached out to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social's team for comment on export permits for Canadian sale of armoured vehicles to ICE.

Its been obvious to those of us outside the country for at least 6 months, but glad to see some Americans figuring it out.

Umm… hard NO to this. Has this master of strategery learned nothing from Trump’s behaviour? No amount of appeasement nor pride swallowing will satisfy Trump. It just emboldens the next ask/demand. Firm resolve. Build what’s in our control. And stay the course as a sovereign nation. 🇨🇦

MAGA? Nazi? What's the difference? (From @parkroseperma.bsky.social post on Youtube)

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"So even though I am still betting on the American future, I wouldn’t ask Mark Carney or any other leaders to simply keep the faith. I would just ask them to consider every step away from us in light of the potential destination and the powers waiting there." YOU ARE TRYING TO ANNEX US

This should be the singular demand the Democrats make in exchange for voting to fund the government.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Indeed. Any Albertans flirting w separatism to send a message to Ottawa should consider that in the spring of 2014, some eastern Ukrainians wanted to send a message to the new govt in Kyiv. It didn't end well. Instead of getting concessions from Kyiv, they ended up occupied by Russia.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Residents of Greenland must be thrilled, dreaming of becoming part of a country where masked police shoot you.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

The state isn't playing anymore. Local police not playing. Minnesotans are building barricades in the streets. National guard activated. MAGA ghouls continue lying. This feels like an inflection point where some Americans are starting to "get it". I really hope it is.
