A national sustained boycott of all companies, media outlets, Social media sites, will be catastrophic for the billionaires and could move the needle back in favor of democracy. With holidays approaching this is the right time to do it. Our children will thank us; a gift that they will never outgrow

Now its time to boycott every brand that donated to elected republicans. We boycott until the republican controlled house and senate remove vice president/president and rogue SCOTUS judges. Deprive the billionaires supporting elected republicans even local. This includes divesting in their stocks

Next step: WE CAN BLOCK THE MERGER of Nexstar & Tegna by going to our state Attorney General's website & filling out a consumer complaint about the merger. AGs can sue because 80% household reach harms consumers & a key AG function is consumer protection. Example: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

1/“If you are a military member and you’re told that you’re going out to police the streets of Portland Oregon, you now have a judicial ruling from a Federal Judge as the wind at your back to say: “I’m not obeying an unlawful order.” Nobody said military service was going… youtu.be/cWGOap4vhKQ?...

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

A rose spotted in Newbury today

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100. Hardy, a lieutenant colonel, became the youngest Tuskegee fighter pilot at 19, and was among the first Black military pilots in the United States.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Fun fact to add to @general-ben.bsky.social tweet: In 1935 German Defense Minister Blomberg - the one who introduced the new oath of loyalty to Hitler renamed the German Defense Ministry… wait for it… the “Ministry of War”.

Little Mikey can stall…but not for long - Democrats have the numbers in the house to get the Epstein File release votes (when they swear her in that’s 218 signatures…in November they will have another one giving them a 1 vote buffer)…just release the Epstein files! youtu.be/EQeKRSkHApM?...

“The 20th century was the story of America’s ascent to become the world’s only superpower. If the 21st century becomes the story of its decline, this speech might be remembered as the moment the world could ignore it no longer.”

When the 🇺🇸 ambassador to Canada 🇨🇦 was the ambassador to the Netherlands he conducted massive political interference, and he should be kicked out of Canada like he was kicked out of the Netherlands: #Canadasky www.newsweek.com/ambassador-d...

Oh it’s a theme alright…many agricultural producers literally bank on being bailed out by taxpayers - “it’s a lifestyle.” (Video is almost 19 minutes) This brings up some points we likely never thought about, including how farmers manipulate prices. youtu.be/2uypc-c5-aA

“a game-changing agreement” for Canadian business.” “With these new trade, investment & security partnerships, we’re creating the certainty & security our businesses need to increase trade & investment, & drive sustained growth that benefits & empowers our workers.” 🇨🇦🇮🇩 www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

“pressed Hoekstra on what the diplomat is conveying to his boss about Canadian sentiment toward the U.S. - Trump didn’t seem well informed when he said Canada doesn’t have anything that America needs, when it fact products like potash fertilizer are in high demand.” www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Some of the shenanigans of the White-Tailed Deer family that have been hanging out in our yard. In total there are four fawns (two that have almost completely lost their spots, and two younger ones) and four does. The fawns are both sets of twins so the other two does are singles.

On the ICE shooting. 1. It's terrible. 2. Too many disturbed people have access to too many guns in this country. 3. Too many political figures use incendiary and dehumanizing rhetoric. By far the most significant of them is the president. The fish of political violence rots from the head down.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

We can’t even protect the people we detain. Broken country.

Besides tracing where they might have been shipped off too, they should also send forensic teams to inspect the facility.

Those missing detainees are probably in Africa now. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

1,200 detainees are now missing from the Alligator Alcatraz facility based on a report from the Miami Herald.

Incredible. NYT reports that career DOJ prosecutors investigated James Comey and directly informed Trump's political appointees that there was insufficient evidence to get a conviction. Gonna keep suggesting that Trump's authoritarian designs are running into deep resistance (see piece below).

In this politics issue, we wanted you to see what we saw: Tech leaders got what they wanted—a seat at the table with a would-be king, and a chance to haggle over the rules that govern their businesses. But remember: It’s your future that they just might gamble away. 🧵 of stories so far:

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

I think us 🇨🇦Canadians should be pushing the CRTC to commence the consultation process ASAP - the damage that Faux “News” has done to American Democracy can no longer be denied and Canadians are not immune to its harmful propaganda either. youtube.com/shorts/STOFD...

See Pete, we can be diplomatic too! You are about to get schooled by Canada’s strongest Anti-Fascist (Antifa) fighter, I hope you take him up on his offer. #Never51 youtu.be/rnQF_RewRdU?...

Imagine what better footing Canada would be on right now if we heeded the warning of the 2008 global financial crisis and actually moved our trade to other markets…🫩 better late than never I guess but wow, it’s proving to be a painful lesson. #Never51 #ElbowsUp

This interview with a Westpoint History Professor filled me with a lot of hope & reassurance that this Regime will not succeed, & the military will not succumb to this tyranny.(listen to the end of his interview for a hilarious underreported 🍊💩 humiliation story😅) youtu.be/yLP-vk4OgMI?...

I have bought nothing from the US since February. I have found so many Canadian alternatives. Thank you orange fool for reacquainting me with the superior products we have.
