We've got the "no 🇺🇸 booze" pretty well in hand. We've got the "no 🇺🇸 products/produce" well in hand. NOW, it's time to wake up about autos/trucks. If the VIN # starts with a "1", it's made in 🇺🇸; if a "2", it's made in 🇨🇦. Canada is virtually the sole market for US autos. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Unfortunately right now we have to rely on either the Supreme Court or spineless Republicans in Congress to end this shit. This also proves to every country that whatever “deal” you make with Trump is utterly worthless.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Merkley had a pretty effective day. Or will have, if you make this go viral.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Largely symbolic as the House will not take this up, but an important rebuke to Herr Trump and his band of freakish brothers.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Fifty-one senators, including four Republicans, voted on Wednesday to end President Donald Trump's tariff on Canadian goods in a bipartisan rebuke of the administration's trade policy. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

It's not settled yet for sure but it looks like Mark Carney will be Canada's next Prime Minister. I'm hoping Trump will negotiate in better faith now that his wife doesn't want to fuck Canada's leader.

Premier Wab Kinew is a real leader. And a funny one too.

CALL TO ACTIVISM@calltoactivism.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province. Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance. It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media. It is about the very soul of America. They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny. The world is watching.

Please, dear friends south of the border, wake the F up. Your grand experiment, exceptionalism and world leadership, is about to take its final gasp. The power you've enjoyed for literally decades as a great nation is on the verge of ending.
