MAGA is actively working on the break up of our country. Funny that we have to read about these backroom meetings in the far right wing press while our media ignores the obvious. www.westernstandard.news/news/alberta...

For centuryes we have tolde storyes of dangers from the voyde, vicious powers who lure wyth human voyces, who hide behinde human faces. Thei weaken the bondes of communitye, steal thoughtes, hurt our soules, appeal to our worst, & sow discord. Now we have made that shitte real ourselves wyth Gen AI.

Rory McIIroy points to the Ryder Cup scoreboard, where the EU has a commanding lead, after being heckled about his wife, his career, etc. by obnoxious American fans. This disgusting display of poor sportsmanship is a result of their rude, juvenile president making it acceptable behaviour #RyderCup

To all my 2SLGBTQIA+ ,if you chose to cross the border...be VERY AWARE that the american gov is now actively against us all! Do not have anything that indicates who you really are!! Or better yet... don't go. I have stopped now that I do not have a US life partner anymore. Far too risky

Remember: Using birth genitals to determine your name, your pronouns, what you're allowed to wear, who you're allowed to love, how you're allowed to present yourself = normal Basing all that stuff on what makes you feel happy = dangerous extremism

Q: How do you justify taking that risk of alienating the United States [by recognizing Palestine] when we still don't have a trade deal? CARNEY: Canada has values and Canada sticks by those values. We have an independent foreign policy, we make decisions that are consistent with our values.

CARNEY: "After my time here in New York during United Nations High Level Week, I'm even more certain than ever that in this new era, Canada won't just endure this shift. We will prosper."

Been trying to explain why economy increasingly feels like it's running wholly on rich people passing each other same bag of money - innovation is stalled, unemployment is rising, but stock tickers are still somehow going up. This example captures the current state of our economy perfectly.

We need European strategic autonomy. In space. In the oceans. And on land. That means European satellite navigation, European passenger rockets, European aircraft carriers (nuclear powered and CATOBAR) and a significant European tank force.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

During the European campaign of WW2, American troops would leave this character to let the NAZIs know that they were everywhere. Kilroy is beginning to pop up in public spaces. He is the call for & promise of liberation. He is hope. He is everywhere. Kilroy was here.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Funny how something so familiar can turn into a real challenge when you start drawing it. Great practice, and fun too. Soon I’ll trade this view for Spain, where I’ll be teaching another workshop! Take a workshop with me too! Check out koosjekoene.com/workshops

One thing the media's reticence to label Kirk an extremist has made jarringly clear is how scared they are of the people in power now who share his extremist beliefs. In the space of nine months, they have internalized a fear of condemning racism, misogyny, homophobia and antisemiticism.

“Wild” Had a project where I had to abstract a flower (I picked the wild red columbine) and while I was doing it I thought it looked kinda like Gallifreyan symbols, so I just made it Gallifreyan. #gallifreyan #doctorwho #circulargallifreyan #art

Do you ever stop to think, really realize that Canadians invented peanut butter? How crazy is that? Peanuts existed for every year that humans existed, but it was Marcellus Gilmore Edson, living in 1884, when he solved the mystery none before him had realized existed. Peanut butter! ❤️🍁

The Dems need to stop this "When it's all over, we'll be remembered as the ones who followed the rules" stuff, because that's how the British army had their asses handed to them in the Revolution. The followed the rules of war. The Colonists ambushed them from trees. We need to be Colonists.

It was ~3pm on September 28, 1972. I was 6yrs old sitting in the gymnasium with the rest of my school watching Game 8 of the Summit Series on an old black & white TV high up on the rolling TV stand. The day is etched in my memory. Ken Dryden kept us in the game to enable the famous winning goal.

I'm old enough to remember some commentators claiming the EU surrendered to the US on this issue four days ago

If this was any other country apart from the US you'd have analysts and scholars already discussing civil war risks

I doubt global US dollar and bond market dominance will last that long once you get shootouts in American cities between blue state National Guard units and federal forces

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.

you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now

Half the time I remember to put -ai at the end of my search. I’m so annoyed when I forget.
