It does feel like that. This feels like a turning point, but it also seems like there’s no amount of TACO Tuesdays that can stop an ICE structured as it is within an Admin that can backtrack, but never reform. See how Greenland or Canada’s been a thing on-and-off for a year.

understandable frustration with respectability politics but worth acknowledging that this kind of political situation is what it was for

I’m pretty sure this is a layer of Hell.

McArdle writes: "You can point to Trump’s efforts to co-opt the justice system, muzzle unfriendly media outlets and undermine the integrity of our election system, while trying to convince some Americans that these things are one short step from going Full Franco." This makes me insane...

people worry too much about "rigging the midterms" (a phenomenon that would require force they do not have) with "civil crisis over Congress post-victory"

You keep hearing Nuremberg this, The Hague that. But both involve a prerequisite that usually includes the word "War". And I'm not sure yet that that's settled in as a fact yet.

I just came to bluesky to read up on this nonsense, but surprise, it seems ICE had executed another American this morning. So that's going on...

It's things like this that make you double-check bios because, legit, that's some well crafted satire, otherwise.

We needed a sequel to "The French don't have a word for entrepreneur."

Yes, this is my overwhelming impression listening to it. He repeatedly demanded full ownership of Greenland, and made an explicit threat to punish the Europeans if they don't give in. He then threatened to punish Canada over its prime minister's speech!

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Proving, one day later, Carney's own thesis....l

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

I've been on a call for a while. I'm being informed that there's a chance "Connor's Wedding" may have occurred, is that correct?

Trying to figure how inviting the EU is going to be towards theoretical President Newsom or Vance trying to mend the relationship. I'm not seeing it.

NO

Gotta say the Trump Post + Globe Article + Carney Speech combo is making today One Of Those Days™️.

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

The whole speech is both the most clear-eyed overview of This Moment (the Table/Menu line being the encapsulation of it), but also the Rosetta Stone of The Carney Doctrine. Everything he's done in the last year is explained here, whatever your feelings are about them.

The whole clip.

Well if there were any concerns that Carney doesn't quite get the severity of this moment, that first line alone (and every subsequent part of this quote) kills that thought dead.

The version of One Battle After Another on Crave now has an end card saying "This Film Is Dedicated to the Brave Mujahideen Fighters of Canada." Should I be concerned?

The, uh, combination of this and his post is... Yup.

I remember saying to my therapist like two years ago, “we are their Ukraine”. She nodded and wrote something down.

CANADA'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS.

In 1981, Canada signed a vehicle quota deal with Japan to give “new entrants to the field time to set up shop in order to build as well as sell here. Honda of Canada opened its Alliston plant in 1986; in 1988, Toyota followed suit. Today, these are Canada’s two largest vehicle manufacturers.”

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

My brain was adamant that this must be a joke or AI or some shit. I really don't know why I gave 2026 the benefit of the doubt. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/s...

"Celebrate the 250th with the 25th" is a fun and catchy slogan!

I'm starting to think that 80s Hollywood Action Movie Villains might have had some good points.

Let's not gloss over the detail that this implies he was holding off on doing wars of aggression purely for the clout.

Starting a new week as well all do now, waiting to see what comes first: the new US Civil War or a War with Europe.

The Plan? Every sports organization will send Donald Trump a new Peace Prize every month until he's out of office.

Who knew that FIFA helped delay the end of NATO by a couple of months with their Peace Prize? Thanks, Infantino!

The entire Western World, right now, is at "You can't fully trust another Democrat Admin" and "You absolutely cannot trust any other Republican." And that's if all of this were to stop today.

George W. left a lot of children behind and it shows.

This is "A 51st State Canada would vote Democrat" levels of Idiotic American Posting.

I checked this poll. Conservatives are polling at 63% in Alberta. They are a distant third in Québec (18%). They're in second in Ontario and BC. Rationality aside, I'd also argue Carney has that Centrist appeal that I'm sure some of Blue voters aren't mad about what he's doing but still vote CON.

The NDP is still doesn't have a leader and they're still polling best in the Under 29s than in other groups. They have a chance to scoop up some votes after Leadership with the right message. But, uh, sorry, can we talk about the Bloc being, like, Dead-Dead in the same age group. Like holy shit.
