Elon Musk when he realizes putting people on the moon is difficult: Within 10 years we will put humans in Delaware

The president of the US whining “we’ll just get the leftovers!” means he’d prefer to eat Canada whole first, right? It’s not an ally offering a warning or solidarity or even a joke. We all understand that? It’s important we all understand that.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Just like Haiti, the American elites can never forgive countries that rise up against their oppressors. Decades of embargos and sanctions have done nothing but punish the population of Cuba for implicitly supporting the revolution.

This is all being done so the remaining white Cuban plantation owners and their descendants can return back to the island as aristocracy and oppress the majority afro Cuban population. This is neo colonialism.

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous. The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

It’s depressing to see the conditions outside the Whipple Building with fences and barricades. If it looks like this outside, imagine what our neighbors are experiencing inside. 1/

🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American. States that joined after Puerto Rico: • Oklahoma — 1907 • New Mexico — 1912 • Arizona — 1912 • Alaska — 1959 • Hawaii — 1959 Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

February 2026 - the BMJ publishes a piece called "Why covid-19 is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one” Some of us have been screaming this for years www.bmj.com/content/392/...

20 yrs ago in Torino, the women’s hockey team from Italy went 0-3 in prelim and 32 goals against and just 1 goal for. In #Milano the Italian women are 2-1 in prelim and have 8 goals for and 9 against. Oh, and they are through to the next round. #olympics #hockey #womenshockey

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

With Canadian airlines now suspending flights to Cuba because of Trump’s illegal blockade, costing Canadians $millions & major distress, Ottawa must finally say something about this expansion of the Donroe Doctrine—and demand compensation. My take for the Toronto Star www.thestar.com/business/opi...

Jason Kenney had a pretty good statement on Xitter:

Bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio. Much like what happened after Vance, Trump, and Nazis told lies about Haitians in September 2024. Reportage here. See my substack for background. www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/bomb-th...

It took 6+ years but this is so damn good

A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico (~3.5m v. ~3.2m)

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El Apagón it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

Ah, Elmo. ❤️ #BadBunny

Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. Ted Cruz was born in Canada. Bad Bunny is eligible to run for president because he’s a natural born citizen. Ted Cruz is not. Thought that was a fun little fact.

Bad Bunny: "God bless America. Argentina Chile Uruguay Bolivia Paraguay Brazil Ecuador Peru Colombia Venezuela Cuba Republica Dominicana Puerto Rico Panama Haiti El Salvador Nicaragua Guatemala Belize Costa Rica ... [Finally he ends with] United States Canada"

Stop saying the American Idiot album came out 21 years ago and that Billie Joe Armstrong is 53. You're lying. It was just a few years ago. Please.

Happy Green Day and Bad Bunny Day

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

Epstein emailed himself the photo, possibly after a dinner with tech moguls.

Good. Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

I solved my announcer issues for women's Olympic hockey by installing the TOU.TV app on my smart TV. Presto, I have French-language commentary. I don't have to listen to Cheryl Pounder anymore and I get to brush up on my terrible French. A win-win.

Hunter Hess is now going to get death threats. when trump does stuff like this, it's not just a joke. it's a way to direct Nazi harassment at people he doesn't like.

At the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, six Canadian women became heroes with their achievements at the Games. In the first Games where women could compete in athletics, they became known as The Matchless Six. youtu.be/bfUcySYj98Q

2017 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling Michael Wolff that dinner guests were “concerned about dementia” after being with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and Mar-a-Lago appear over 38,000 times in the Epstein files. More mentions than Epstein himself.

Another Olympics in an ongoing pandemic, another few weeks of feigned surprise about viral illness outbreaks among athletes.

It's often the same people: dual Russian-Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. This dates back to the USSR and Semion Mogilevich (whose Israeli passport was procured by Robert Maxwell) to today's oligarchs like Roman Abramovich, who got Israeli citizenship after Russia was sanctioned.

They already were intertwined but Israel has been a fallback state for organized crime since the days of Meyer Lansky. It's not only Russia who uses it as that, but in the 1970s/1980s, gangsters from the USSR increasingly did -- sometimes as a stopping point on the way to Europe and the US.

The newspapers and history books of the time depicted Israel as a refuge for organized crime. Because it was and still is. It's also a refuge for pedophiles: www.cbsnews.com/news/how-jew... www.timesofisrael.com/diaspora-ped...

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Yes, exactly! Also linked to the prevalence of nepo babies and elites in journalism, which was facilitated by centering media in the most expensive cities (NY, DC, SF) and requiring unpaid internships, low-paid labor, and expensive degrees for entry. The reporters won't report on corrupt friends.

Encouraging to see some members of the US Olympic team wearing masks to protect their health ahead of competition.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

oh weird they didn't acknowledge it on the American NBC broadcast.

Israel gets booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Presenter makes note of it, too, says it's the first time they've heard booing all night.

From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: "Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait."

It’s really a transnational criminal network. For those interested in the international angle, Sarah Kendzior is a good follow and has a decade of evidence to back her up in the book she wrote several years ago called They Knew bsky.app/profile/sara...

France put up a valiant effort but Smile Japan emerged with a narrow victory on Friday in Milan to open their Olympic campaign in the win column.

CBC Gem is bananas (i.e. AMAZING) for Olympics coverage. Like... in addition to the curling and skating, I can currently stream women's hockey - Czechia vs Switzerland - broadcast in Inuktitut. LIKE, WHAT. (I can also watch it in English, but like... Inuktitut. I love it.)

I just turned on the Czechia/Switzerland women’s hockey game, on CBC Gem. I love that there’s also an option to watch it in Inuktitut! That’s awesome! #Olympics #WomensHockey 🏒
