It’s only a matter of time before they pull out of the UN

You gotta love this photo. It's not AI. It's real. And near everyone on the planet outside of Canada will have no idea what's going on, why, or what it means. The day before, Carney was Davos Man, who had seized the world's attention. Now this. It looks like a hallucination.

Every single confederate general’s statue needs to be dynamited, the rubble crushed into gravel and the gravel poured into the ocean when Woke 2.0 gets back in.

bluesky: the premier social network for getting yelled at because you explained how a complex process you have no control over works

“You’ve been winning too much, we’re revoking your invitation to the loser convention.”

To be fair, I’m not sure Dorian Gray syndrome is a real disease, but it sure seems like Trump has it

Sometimes I think about when Carney replaced Trudeau as the candidate he started sputtering about a secret carbon tax and close my eyes and smile

Seems like he got charged for a joke/fedpoasting from reading the article. Miller is gonna go apeshit

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

There’s simply no way the Tories will form government when they’re deep underwater in 3 of the 4 largest provinces in the country. It just ain’t happening.

it is more likely that Kamala pulls a Democratic Nixon (lose one election, win a later one) than it is that these guys are going to make it through a primary

Oct/Nov personal income & spending just dropped, basically nothing to see here.

And still no Dem leaders have gone to Minneapolis. No donor efforts to alleviate anything. Just leave people out to fend for themselves.

I just don’t get this because if Ireland seriously threatened to invade Malta and Maltese people started tweeting “fuck those paddy bastards I wish them a 2nd famine” my reaction would be “yeah fair enough, I’m so sorry” not “how rude, *I* voted for the SocDems 😤”

"Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, exceeding any yearly total since 2004—including the pandemic years. ProPublica found that at least 170 American citizens have been caught in ICE dragnets and spent time in detention."

這次第 怎一個愁字了得

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

Important new tactics in Minnesota 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee was detained Wednesday evening at Los Angeles International Airport, his agent Scott Boras told the Chronicle.

@abradacabla.bsky.social !!! sfstandard.com/2026/01/21/g...

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

Friends, I’d like to show @ucalgary.bsky.social that @bsky.app is where the cool kids hang out and that they should start posting here more and less/none at TheBadPlace™️. Show them some love by reskeeting this 100000000x. 🧪

If you’re on the ground, it is absolutely unmistakable what they’re doing. Bovino has gone to multiple gas stations, with a massive convoy, gotten out of the car, and strolled into the street and posed for ten minutes at a time. No gas, no food, no bathroom. Just over and over in sequence.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

The original post by Nate so neatly embodies the fatal error of the last decade—the idea that because we worked very hard to avert a catastrophe, the catastrophe was never a danger in the first place

Blattman is one of those folks I used to follow but who now exemplifies how authoritarian ideas depend on having a whole cadre of enablers: willing relativizers, apologists, professional contrarians who are themselves perfectly decent people, yet indispensable cogs in the machine.

His opposition didn't even TRY. They didn't even SUGGEST HE SHOULD BE REMOVED

The first step Europe needs to take is to ban X. They probably won’t get buy in everywhere, but Germany, France and the UK definitely need to lead and do it

Anyway, thank you Jake Tapper

He clearly hasn’t seen mighty ducks 2 where the difference is explained.

Jesus fuckin Christ

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

Will be funny if he manages to Pollievre the AfD, RN and Reform

Stephen Miller and JD Vance are inseparable from President Donald Trump at Davos this year. Constantly tightly flanked by his two closest advisors, he’s sporting a fashionable new pair of sunglasses and looking healthier than ever

wow, firstly they kidnap him on a bus and now this. it's a rough day.

SOUTH KOREAN COURT SENTENCES EX-PRIME MINISTER HAN DUCK-SOO TO 23 YEARS IN PRISON IN CASE RELATED TO MARTIAL LAW

LOL this timeline synchronicity:

they shut off the pool camera? what is happening

I remain a big fan of the Democrats finally countering the dog playing basketball by bringing out a slam dunking labrador instead of complaining to the refs again

Maybe today is the day.

"Special providence", but that was very close: bsky.app/profile/shar...

Workshopping a theory of Liberal dominance in Canada based on the Cdn Tories having their May-BoJo-Truss-Sunak circus shortly after the most dominant Conservative prime minister in Canadian history died in the 1890s. I don’t think they’ve ever recovered from the gong show of 5 PMs in 5 years.

Scott Moe on national unity: "The challenges that we're facing today are not coming from Ottawa in our perspective, they are coming from other countries around the world. We need to work together to defend our Canadian economy and our Canadian way of life."

Well, we have the American answer to the KGB’s “fell out the window”

is there a law against mark carney becoming British PM

"Chinese spy cars are going to listen to my phone calls!" I said. "That's right," said Alexa. "I agree," posted Facebook. "That would be bad," said Siri. "Absolutely," agreed Uber. "Here's a bunch of car accessories you might be interested in," said Amazon. #cdnpoli #ONpoli

Reminded of how CIA analysts gamed out which Soviet republic might blow up the whole arrangement, but never consider Russia itself. Here we are with the United States saber rattling against NATO itself.

He might die tomorrow or moderate Dem senator Jeff Cornsteelmidwest might win a majority in 2028 and appoint a Supreme Court justice or two, but I don’t see how you can continue to ally yourself with a country with millions of voters who support this and no institutions that are able to reign it in.
