This isn't just bad news for our auto industry — it’s a blow to American workers. And it's only happening because Donald Trump is pushing our allies away by chasing vanity projects like annexing Canada and Greenland. That’s not leadership, that’s chaos.

prediction: Doug Ford will push for Chinese EV auto partnerships for Ontario. meanwhile, the usually CON strongholds in Ontario and in the Prairie provinces will be happy to hear about China's canola tariff decreases. coastal crab and lobster fisheries will also be happy. Poilievre just got elbowed.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Labor calls a general strike in Minnesota to protest the ICE invasion of the state.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Why are they carrying so many license plates? So they can ILLEGALLY evade being identified and arrested themselves.

It’s amazing how lame their decorations are, like your average WWII “VF created yesterday” had cooler and more creative insignia

It whips that not only is this guy absolutely going to get reinstated with back pay thanks to UNIONS but he’s already made nearly $1mil in a GFM which means many, many people are now incentivized to scream at Trump that he’s a pedophile

Trump reverts to form, blaming Zelenskyy for no peace in Ukraine. Makes no reference to the bombardments of Ukraine by Russia in the past few days. Absolute piece of work, this bloke. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

i think it’s pretty fair to consider CBS straight fascist government media, trumps administration is clearly drip feeding them narratives and “scoops” and obviously CBS will run them with zero regard for fact

Also, in an alternate world, allies would be meeting to forge a common policy in Iran. Instead, we are talking about Greenland

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

if it’s 8:15a and the streetlights are still on, you get to go back to bed until they turn off. I don’t make the rules.

Bless the Ford worker who called Donald Trump a pedophile protector to his face today, which made President Pedo Protector throw up his tiny middle finger.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.” Gift link: wapo.st/4sG38CD

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

Anyway it would be cool if the left was willing to organize around women’s liberation, because the right is definitely organizing around misogynist contempt.

Rape is the core of the MAGA ideology, the metaphor of dominance and degradation that motivates all their actions, and their rhetoric descends very quickly from the symbolic register down into a literal one.

Checked in on X.

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

She voted to confirm a Trump judge just yesterday.

I spoke to the NBC affiliate in Phoenix for its story about speculation Kari Lake, who lost two Republican-held statewide offices in Arizona, will leave DC and run for office in Iowa. www.12news.com/article/news...

Kari Lake has allowed several reporters (out of 1,500+) to stay at the Voice of America. The journalism has been replaced by propaganda (in violation of VOA's charter). Evidence: www.linkedin.com/pulse/trump-...

lol.

Danish soldiers must open fire even without orders if US troops were to try and capture Greenland by force, according to a decades-old defense ministry directive that remains in place. www.berlingske.dk/indland/ordr...

doh!

One curious, yet not surprising, aspect of the Grok nudification scandal is the deafening silence from Apple and Google. Why haven't they delisted the X app for violating their terms of service?

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

NEW for @propublica.org: We analyzed flight data to see how passenger planes were affected by SpaceX's starship explosions. We identified 21 planes that appeared to make sudden turns to exit the debris zone in the minutes after the explosion. www.propublica.org/article/spac...
