this ain't hyperbole, kids- pay attention- read & share 🧵

The most chilling part of this DOJ story isn’t the shooting. It’s what happened after...and who was quietly told to stay out of the room.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

You can take the man out of racist South Africa, but you'll never take that racism out of him. Musk is dangerous because there are too many worshipers at the altar of his cesspool, Twitter X. That font of disinformation is a threat to liberal democracies everywhere. Damn him.

What could go wrong....

Toronto Sun editor-in-chief says Passifiume now "removed from active duty" and will not be permitted to wear official Toronto Sun news fedora to Pierre Poilievre fundraising events for remainder of month.

Good to see and hear previous Federal Chairs supporting Powell. Once again Trump out of his depth in the real world. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Karoline Leavitt states today “there is plentiful video evidence showing she did in fact hit him with her car…” Leavitt went on to say the video also clearly shows Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and Lalo Salamanca all sitting in the back seat of the Honda.

We need to stop calling everything an “Epstein distraction.” That’s not reality. This administration does harmful things for real...varied reasons. Right now, a U.S. citizen being shot by ICE in Minneapolis is an urgent crisis that deserves attention. It is clearly the priority.

Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.

I’d give up my 401(k) for this.

As a Canadian, this is what I see in the streets of America. Anyone else?

Still waiting for the "She steered her car's front wheels away from the agent in a VERY aggressive manner!" line of defence.

🚨FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR POWELL: “Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the federal reserve setting interest rates based on our assessment of what will best serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president.”

Indistinguishable.

Making it sound like “donaldtrump” was the password to allow those unnamed perverts access to Epstein’s harem.

Replace "Iranian regime" with "American regime" in the following missive, and then try to convince me that the PM's sentiment does not apply.

Jean Chrétien’s principled leadership, decades of public service, and lifelong commitment to a stronger Canada has built a remarkable legacy for our country. Happy 92nd birthday, Jean — Vive le Canada!

"We don't want to be American." Trump has stated that the United States will use "the soft way" or "the hard way" to take control of the vast Arctic island in order to strengthen US security against Beijing and Moscow. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Get a load of this shit. "'The good future is anyone can have whatever stuff they want,"' Musk said. That would mean 'better medical care than anyone has today, available for everyone within five years. No scarcity of goods and services. You can learn anything you want about anything for free.'"

Costco, Revlon, J. Crew, Dole, Reebok and more have filed lawsuits in hopes of getting their money back.

Meanwhile in Canada ================

This week, American immigration officers in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman in cold blood. People across the United States have been protesting, and neighborhoods in Minneapolis have begun to build barricades to prevent ICE from entering their streets. Support our American friends.

Grok, please generate a photo of Donald Trump without his shirt on. Grok: I'm sorry, I cannot manipulate an image of Dear Leader, but would you like me to generate an image of a naked teenage girl, instead?

Trump sat with the NYT and doubled down...defending an ICE shooting while the facts are still unfolding. That’s not confidence. That’s FEAR. When a leader races to justify violence before the truth is known...it’s because the TRUTH is a threat.

Woodie Guthrie would have been pleased. Protest music is back. Jesse Welles knows how to write a song.
