The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II Yes, you read that correctly What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens #TrumpTariffChaos

So if countries are serious about digital sovereignty, de-risking, or decoupling, they need to start by putting together a plan to lay their own cables and how to defend them.

In my view, any speech given for the SOTU speech in Congress should require an oath for perjury (just like in court), and any lies must be punished as felonies with prison time.

To any Canadian NHL team that still contains American hockey players who took part in that perverse celebration and trashed the female players: if they haven't been traded to US teams /this/ season, these Canadian teams are dead to me for all time. TOR VAN MTL OTT CGY EDM WPG.

Twitter is bad because the posts are bad & will cook your brain, and, for science & research, there is nearly zero benefit to reading or posting on twitter anymore. It's gone, man. Has been for a while. Bsky is just better for all the reasons old twitter was. Mid posters who can't rebuild here, well

Russia keeps hitting American companies in Ukraine. Trump stays silent. He is extremely weak and compromised

Any American player playing for a Canadian #NHL franchise who took part in that disgusting #TeamUSA locker room display should be traded to a U.S. #NHL franchise in exchange for a #Canadian. Send them back to where they belong.

To recap in advance.

Portugal just hit a big milestone in #CleanEnergy⚡. Over 80% of the electricity it made in January came from #renewable sources like #wind and hydro power, one of the highest shares in the 🇪🇺 EU right now 🌬️💧. That shows how much the country is moving toward cleaner power and away from fossil fuels.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

THERE’S POWER IN BOYCOTTING!

Above all, America has lost its integrity and respect from fellow countries. The world will never trust the US again.

Australia: "Most flu deaths this century were recorded in 2025, ABS finds" Last Year (2025): 🔹COVID-19: ~2,161 deaths 🔹Influenza: ~1,701 deaths 🔹RSV: ~582 deaths

Do NHL hockey players get banned substances testing at the Olympics? Yes....and I'm hearing some of the USA men's hockey team have failed. More to follow.

The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun. He heroically sacrificed his life by blowing up a bridge in Henichesk to slow the advancing Russian columns.

the only acceptable reason to attend trumps speech tonight is if you are planning on shouting that he’s a pedophile in the middle of it. if you can’t have the courage of a random worker at a car factory then just don’t go

we're really at an inflection point where it's not difference of opinion anymore. If you don't see how bad Trump and his movement are, how objectively evil and simply *bad for everything*, then you are wrong, you're a bad person, and yes, we're all better than you. Sorry. Do better.

Just for the record, Team USA women have out-medaled Team USA men at three consecutive Winter Olympics and four consecutive Summer Olympics.

Be strong like a man, fight like a man, man up- Win gold medals like a woman.

4 yrs ago today, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Trump promised he would end this war 9,572 hours ago.

One of the fundamental character traits that always stands out when it comes to Mike Johnson is cowardice. He has zero integrity or courage. bsky.app/profile/atru...

At the Winter Olympics, American female athletes won 61% of the total medals (20 out of 33) and 67% of the gold medals (8 out of 12) awarded to the US - the third time IN A ROW American women outperformed American men at the Winter Games. And they’ve never embarrassed the nation while doing it.

If the whole chamber started chanting “Epstein Epstein Epstein” during Trumps SOTU speech, that would be just.

So the US MNT in Hockey has crawled up 47 and found a new home. Let each member remember their decisions for the rest of their lives. Canadian NHL teams, just trade them away asap. Canadian players in the US, pls come home. For gods sake, protect our key players better!!! Marty McSorely?

Observing "Skippy on the Hill" demolishing the Maple Maga Conservatives is so satisfying & comforting. Nothing brings me greater joy that seeing him squirm and humiliate himself over and over as he sinks into insignificance. “He is dragging the party down with him. He is hugely unpopular.” #cdnpoli
