I propose a swap: Alberta for the west coast. Both can’t stand the rest. Long live Cascadia!

We are governed by a petulant playground bully: “You did not give me a treat, I will egg your house. Oh wait, eggs are too expensive. I’ll bomb it instead.” #Greenland www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

There is an inflation of words. In this AI era people like the sound of their own words, so they read what the AI told them out loud for hours... and an AI listens then summarizes. Why not just write the summary in the first place?! #ai

He had multiple opportunities to prevent this and deliberately pissed them away.

The biggest difference between Greenland and Donald Trump is that Greenland is not for sale. 🔥 ~ Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

Obama actually won his Nobel Peace Prize.

President Emmanuel Macron: “Where Ukraine was eminently dependent on American intelligence capabilities by an overwhelming majority a year ago, today two-thirds are provided by France. Two-thirds.”

At least 2 Senators have said "All Powell has to do is talk to Pirro and tell her he's going to resign and Trump will drop the charges." So here we have 2 sitting US Senators admitting the President is illegally extorting the chairman of The Fed. Admitting crimes out loud, on TV. WTAF.

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

I wonder what the doj has on them #venezuela www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

So basically the message is: “die you poor bastards” #epa E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

If it wasn't clear enough, it is now... The law is made by those who carry the biggest stick. The rest of us are subjects. Maduro is a dictator, but today is his turn, and tomorrow? Everyone and the EU in particular will now look for their own very large stick..., consequences be damned #maduro

The value of airmiles is abysmal nowadays: about $0.012/mile. That's the best I could get out of the major alliances for the routes I needed. I flew ≈30 times this year. Upgrades: 1, on the shortest route. Lounge access: yes in theory, once in practice because of overcrowding. #travel

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest. The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

See the difference? 👀 #NoKings

I cannot look at this gestapo bitch without thinking she watched videos of children being raped by powerful rich men, and she chose to protect these scumbags.

Portland: still not on fire or under attack despite what an angry old man claims

The president threatened to invoke the insurrection act. Surely that is enough of an emergency for Congress to return from vacation?! Or do you really want your children to ask, where were you when the country became a dictatorship? Oh I was at the beach, debating my next cocktail?!

Any U.S. President who deploys U.S. troops to invade a U.S. city against U.S. citizens should not only be immediately impeached and removed from office, along with his entire administration, he should be imprisoned and put on trial.

Goodnight. “The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” Antonio Gramsci

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

Brilliant must read! States have accepted a fiction that federal fiscal dominance is constitutionally required. It's not. States must be willing to assert their actual authority rather than their assumed subordination! open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

How about we stop paying their salaries? We pay them to talk and negotiate. If they can’t, why should we?

WA state paid for about 10 Idahos. usafacts.org/articles/whi... Blue states just have to keep what they need. If you blow up the contract that binds us together, expect fiscal chaos.

Duh! They are not interested in a $75k Ford! Who’d have thought?! People with $75k to spend on a car will probably look at Porsche. A $35k Ford EV makes a lot more sense. This is just failure of leadership.

I watched the livestream. It could have been an email… I can see a collective “eh?” on the attendees’ faces. A Novice Defense Secretary Lectures the Brass on What It Takes to Win www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

They freak out at the bad taste and wasteful expense.

This… 👇🏼 #bluesky

Obama is Exactly 💯 Correct ! And ROEVEMBER Is Just Around The Corner.......

Replace Milei with Trump and it just sounds possible. That is in itself the biggest concern

A number of generals being lectured by a drunk lieutenant who believes that he is Napoleon. What could possibly go wrong?

Finally!

A man that ought to be arrested for assault. Was he?

Brilliant businessman accidentally gives employees 7-month paid vacation.

Trumpnomics: When American taxpayers have to pay farmers because they can’t sell to the Chinese.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

So, the rapture happens in phases now? What, like boarding groups, where most valuable fliers go first? In that case, I'm probably in group E or F like fcked. At least do they check the carry-on free? I come with lots of baggage. #rapture

You stay inside and keep talking while I and the rest of the occupants go find the tnt. We’ll be back soon, promise

That escalated quickly.
