I am more than certain that Americans will not be surprised by this, considering their country has concentration camps with CHILDREN in them, they shoot their own in the streets and are also ethnic cleansing. Right?

ICYMI — Globally Israel is now the worst-perceived country in the world, and 🇺🇸 is now 5th worst (behind even Russia and Iraq and Syria) The Trump and Netanyahu effect in number form 😕🤷🏼 146165116.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/146165...

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge gains 4) Repeat This is why we must get Big Money out of politics — and support the candidates who will fix the system.

20 years ago the top 15 political spenders put less than $15 million into the midterms. Then Citizens United was decided. Now, just 170 billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms. Just in case you wondered why the economy only seems to work for the rich.

Aussie dissects Canada’s surgical response to Trump’s shotgun trade war. Love it!

Here's a twist on Canadian legend Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" (who was amazing when one of us saw her live last month). It's an acoustic version about Trump's #USCanada #tariffs, #tradewar and his attempted renaming of #LakeOntario. It's called "Moronic" 🎶 - lyrics: youtu.be/Y6OGKFQBG7s

This. 1000 times this.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured nearly $670 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

I can’t believe Americans are allowing this to happen. This is not freedom, people.

MEMPHIS — last night Trump & @GovBillLee’s (un)Safe Task Force TRAPPED the entire inside Club Legend to check their papers as they left. How is this not unconstitutional false imprisonment? Welcome to Trump & Lee’s America. 🇺🇸 Original Post: www.facebook.com/share/v/18yV...

I would go see this!

“Decency bubble”. I like that.

He cites users' ability to mute & block folks as a positive, which is good. It's also why right wing chuds thankfully can't get a foothold here - b/c they violate community norms & get nuclear blocked out of normal people's timelines. Bluesky isn't a *liberal* bubble - it's a *decency* bubble.

From Canada and agree 100% and hate that this is true.

From Ireland, I love Pete! The USA unfortunately will never vote for a gay man or a woman either,and especially not a woman of colour. For the so called leaders of the free world you have a lot of backwards thinking voters.

Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.
