Musk, Thiel, Trump, Russia, and China share the same goal: to divide, weaken, and destroy the EU, ensuring it never becomes a strong geopolitical player

Happy holidays, hoping for a relaxing break for all

If Putin thinks it's smart to hit civilians in Toronto's sister city Kyiv while Zelenskyy is meeting Carney in Halifax he's even a bigger fool than I thought. Support Ukrainian interceptor drone projects. Support co-development of long-range ballistic missiles. Slava Ukraini.

Born in Bristol in 1821 Elizabeth Blackwell first showed an interest in medicine when a friend almost died after being too shy to visit a male doctor. As an adult in America she became the first woman to graduate with a medical degree in the USA and their first female physician.

I’ve said it and I believe it is true There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

“If we behave like those on the other side, then we are the other side. Instead of changing the world, all we'll achieve is a reflection of the one we want to destroy." — Jean Genet 🌱📷

We were in Tokyo, and we noticed in the crush of pedestrians that a few people would be wearing what is now the familiar masks. We asked our interpreters what's the deal? We were told they're sick (flu, cold), and were doing the polite thing in not giving others their germs. This was 45 years ago.

one of the truly depressing things about the culture war over masks is that we simply refuse to treat them as a tool to mitigate the spread of illness! it should be normal to wear a mask in public when you don’t feel well even if it’s not about saving anybody’s life!!!!! why would you mock that

One more pelican before I put my phone down down for the night. Taken this morning. 🪶

Gabbard accused Paterson, NJ of trying to govern through religious law, but because it isn't *her* religion of choice, that makes it Un-American. Oh - she was wrong about the whole thing anyway. Just more accusation = confession from the party of more government, fewer liberties

In case you can’t quite place the name, this is the writer of classic Trek’s Trouble with Tribbles. Let’s help him out.

Zuckerberg & Meta execs agreed on Thu to settle $8B shareholder lawsuit alleging company’s directors failed to prevent billions of dollars in fines and legal costs stemming from repeated Facebook user privacy violations. FTC (2019) fined FB $5B in the wake of Cambridge Analytica data harvesting.

Now this is a great cartoon.

The unifying theory of all American conservatives is that they all demand that you be their friends at gunpoint, and tell them how handsome and special they are

With him - every accusation is a confession.

As sources told me, Trump does not write 80% of his Truth social posts. Others do it and he just approves them. This is worse than the "autopen." Trump has ghost writers because his dementia makes it challenging for him to write anything.

#BirchPlease 🤣

Trump: “Nobody’s done more for religion than me.”

as an aside i am fascinated by this whole effort to make katie miller a thing. she’s incredibly off-putting and totally vacant behind the eyes!

It’s getting colder in New Hampshire. But this Senate race is heating up. ❄️🔥

Small business owners can’t wait any longer for relief from Trump’s tariffs. We need to pass my Small Business RELIEF Act now.

BREAKING: Trump has SCREWED his own voters in North Carolina. Out of the hundreds who applied for FEMA relief after their homes flooded in storms, he refused to approve a SINGLE payout… You get what you vote for! Enjoy. 😎✨

Increasingly, it seems the Trump administration views the separation between church and state as merely a suggestion. newrepublic.com/post/204766/...

Fascinating how he gets that orange shit through his part but can’t seem to see his own ears or the sides of his face

In tomorrow's news: Trump blames Joe Biden's autopen for signing the release of the Epstein files...

Evil, destructive, immoral clowns

It’s called: READ THE ROOM. Whatever you think will bring a friend/acquaintance the most joy, say it. 💛

If you have the ability, please help our beautiful friend @suzyqfit4u.bsky.social whose been a great resister. Please and thank you friends 🦋💙🦋

It’s still hard to believe that Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend is the President of the United States.

Yeah something that irritates me is that there’s this false dichotomy between open borders and the current brutality. A more humane immigration enforcement that is still meaningful enforcement is totally possible and has existed previously.

Thea guys are the most whiny, entitled bunch of toffs since the court of Louis XVI

Historian Elizabeth Gillespie-McRae refers to such illiberal activists as the "constant gardeners of white supremacy." Some of these gardeners were proud fascists like Kasper, but most were just local reactionaries "protecting" their communities from "outside influences." bsky.app/profile/seth...

American illiberalism (in all of its forms) is very much a deeply-rooted force in US politics, but it is not some inert backdrop...it is constantly being renewed and remade by new generations of rhetorically savvy haters like John Kasper...haters of diversity, haters of equity, haters of inclusion.

The bigger point here is that it's too often the case that Americans remember the civil rights movement as a battle between an active force (Civil rights activists) and a passive force (racism) which is presumed to be melting away as the moral arc of the universe bends. But that's inaccurate.

The situation reminds me of how anti-trans activists like Libs of TikTok today have stoked fires that likely would not have burned so fiercely had they not done what they did. It's not like transphobia was invented by LOTT, but what she's done is amplify and weaponize it.

From the Trump House... 💨more hot air blowing. Donnie Boy doesn't like NPR and PBS, so this summer, he threw his tantrum and got their funding rescinded. He also took away foreign aid from select countries. This he calls a victory. It's a tragedy. But its an end-of-year toast for them... #Pinks

Putin is a sadistic monster who deliberately targets strikes on Ukrainian citizens. All while Europe and the US stand by watching for four years. However, that doesn’t stop a hopeful Zelenskyy from visiting Putin’s bitch tomorrow at the WH looking for whatever crumbs Trump may throw his way.

Kyiv did not sleep once again last night. On the last weekend of the year, the capital should have smelled of mulled wine, cinnamon, chocolate and joy. Instead, our city was filled with smoke, gunpowder, explosions, screams, and curses. The Russian attack lasted twelve hours.

10 Months.

Door Number Two was supposed to be the Good Door until the CCP took it from Thiel.

It is not just the corruption of Trump pardoning someone who was making him richer. It is also a two-tier justice system where the rich can buy freedom. Binance paid the lobbyist $800K for the pardon, and were offering lobbyists success fees of up to $6 million. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Same. Nothing offensive about wishing someone well and joy in a non-denominational way.

As with everything in present-day America, the "we can't say Merry Christmas" attack falls apart if someone would simply ask "why can't you say Merry Christmas?" They're cowards. They'd never be honest(on the record) in public But we ALL know what they mean because they'll SCREAM it in private...
