Many of the small farmers are going bankrupt while the bigger ones get richer. There is a disproportionate amount of money going to the larger more prosperous farmers.

As his policies bankrupt them, Trump-supporting farmers fully embrace socialism. But only if it’s for them.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

Chrystia Freeland: "Your government is siding with Vladimir Putin, who is a bloodthirsty dictator and war criminal. This is not a time for us to be divided. And it's certainly not a time for America to be on the side of the bad guys, which I'm sorry to say, you are right now."

WELKER: What are the implications of President Trump waiving sanctions for Russia? ZELENSKYY: Strengthening Putin's war against us ... it's more support for Russian aggression

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

Canada is the greatest country on earth. A country where you are free to be who you want to be. To speak your mind. To worship as you choose. To live your life as you wish. That is independence. That is sovereignty.

are the ratings here on stage right now

Trump: "I made $72 billion on TikTok! You know who number one on TikTok is? Trump. Remember? Trump. I'm number one. Can you believe it? Taylor Swift is 19. They just sent out the ratings."

Ossoff: "The last time Trump lost the presidency, he tried to seize the presidency and overturn the election. That's why it's so important that we vote in unprecedented numbers. This is up to the people."

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Ukrainian drones struck three Yandex data centres in Russia, shutting down two and crippling the third. The attacks disrupted more than 80 services, including banking, transport and cloud infrastructure, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centres.

Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court while simultaneously easing sanctions on Russia which is massacring Ukrainian civilians. A masterclass in criminality and corruption.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Trump announced a deal with Putin to sell 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel, potentially worth $7.24 billion, while easing US sanctions. The deal would boost Russia’s war finances and undermine Ukraine’s efforts to cut off revenues funding Russia’s invasion.

We need to talk about the separatists selling out our city and province. MAGA operatives came to Calgary to help carve up our country. Meanwhile, separatist leaders went to Washington promising our water, our oil, and our land. If you want to live in the United States, move to the United States.

I would think no one would agree to taking out any N.American city/cities but I would wager that there may be some people who might suggest Palm Springs as a better alternative?

The cancellation of the Avro Arrow program was one of the biggest mistakes made in Canadian history, all because of pressure from the U.S.. We cannot make a similar mistake today.

Craig Baird-Canadian History Ehx@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social

On Oct. 4, 1957, the Avro Arrow was unveiled with the intention of it being the RCAF's primary interceptor in the 1960s. Less than two years later, the program was abruptly cancelled and 14,528 Avro employees were put out of work. This is the story. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/12

So interesting that Trump & Vance are pushing the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud so hard proposing mandatory prison for those who defraud Medicare & Medicaid when Trump has pardoned so many for doing exactly that for megabucks.

“So many people came out to see me in Alabama last night. The Fire Marshall threatened to shut the rally down because we were so bigly over capacity. And I was told that there were over 300,000 outside, crying because they couldn’t get in to hear me. We could hear them all crying from inside. Sad.”

Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor. Not one word for the victim.

Just FYI: Inflation did NOT decline last month. Instead, the Trump Administration adopted a new method of calculating inflation to make it look lower. Americans know what they are paying. They know that prices are rising faster than wages. Trump expects his base to believe his lies.

A short lesson on diesel exports: Each day, the US produces about 1.3 million more barrels of diesel than it consumes and ranks among the world’s largest exporters of diesel. The high price of diesel in the USA is NOT due to a shortage. The price is high because it is set by world markets. 1/3
