You post truth and that is important. I lose followers when I post but I will not stop. Americans legendary grip on freedom and Democracy is bullshit. and the free world mourns. That is the part they don't see and wont look at. It's not just Trump, it's their cowardly reaction.

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

Let’s just bite the bullet and nationalize Stelco’s assets, paying fair compensation. Let’s make steel for 🇨🇦Canadian customers and others abroad. To hell with Trump. To hell with Cliffs. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I almost forgot this. The Seperatists couldn’t even get 25% of the vote even with the UCP and foreign governments putting all of their weight on the scale. Imagine if the process had had some integrity.

Celeste Trianon@celeste.lgbt

Let's remind ourselves that Alberta's UCP purposefully rigged the system in favour of the separatists. They lowered the threshold to trigger a referendum. They rigged the rules, and they allowed themselves to be bolstered by foreign interference, namely from Russia and the USA.

Colossally stupid waste of money and time. Think of all the things we could be doing with the millions spent instead; I want politicians to take us forward; to reach for new and better; to aspire to excellence and make a better place.

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social

As Canada awaits the Alberta separation referendum results, let’s remember how stupid this all is. Huge public money spent on a Russian & American-fuelled separation movement for an awfully-written and badly managed unbinding referendum on whether to hold a binding referendum that would be illegal.

We’ve known this Alberta lawyer was a dolt ever since his deep involvement with the protofascist KuKluxKonvoy. Last night only about 12 lost souls stayed to hear him attempt to spin his latest disaster, being the utter failure of his Alberta separatist project.

Dear Albertans: The next time that you can't get decent medical care due to provincial underfunding, remember that Danielle Smith blew more than $125 million on that stupid fucking referendum.

Dear Canadian pundit class, You DO NOT under any circumstances have to give Jason Kenney any credit for his work on the remain side of the referendum. He created this mess by legitimizing the separatists after inviting them into his party and trying to use them to leverage the federal government.

I see dudes in American flag Tshirts and the gas station ray bans on their hats, I’m instantly on red alert. These fuckers are the remaining 30%. The most racist, vile, disgusting, possibly pedophiles themselves. We honestly need re-education camps if we ever get through this fucking nightmare

To be clear, if you're reading this, I know you get it! You're here. The question is what we do next. My idea is to prepare for 2028 by getting Dem leaders to go X/Meta last & focus on building up independent channels like Bluesky currently. We have to draw lines.

I wrote about how the Meta No Kings blocking offers an urgent warning: If we're going to actually take on the billionaires (and we have to), they're going to fight back. That means we have to build a movement that can exist around them with the goal of expunging them from (controlling) our lives.

thefarce.orgThe Digital Dunkirk: Why We Have to Bet on BlueskyJust as Ukraine regrets relying on Elon, we’ll regret relying on X, Meta, and Palantir. But we can’t say we didn’t see it coming.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

The ship struck by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz was carrying a cargo of Apple devices; local residents collected the latest-model Apple devices that washed ashore and took them home.

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

oldblazer.bsky.social reposted

So many American Jewish organizations have decided to go full force against El-Sayed because of his criticism of Israel and their own Islamophobia, apparently without realizing the vision of the country advanced by these Christian nationalists will not ultimately be good for any religious minority.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The United States, as a proxy for fascist Russia, is intervening massively in the Alberta referendum. The Trump regime (which is an offshoot of the Putin regime) uses information warfare to foster division, disunity and chaos. Real Canadians are resisting this foreign attack.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick publicly said Trump needed to “break” Ontario Premier Doug Ford and that Canadians should “just say thank you.” Trump regime to Canada, essentially: Stop acting like Ukraine. Accept being scammed and bullied, and just say thank you.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social

According to fmr Canada deputy PM Freeland, US Commerce Sec Lutnick accused Canada of acting like Ukraine; threatened to send US troops across the border unless Premier Ford abandoned his proposed 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the US, a retaliatory measure against Trump's tariffs. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney on Pete Hoekstra’s comments about Canada interfering in midterms: “He’s wrong. And if interference in the US midterms is standing up for Canada and not accepting a deal that wasn’t in the interest of Canada, that’s an odd way to spin that.” 🇨🇦 👊 🇨🇦 💪

The U.S. is actually accusing Canada of "election meddling" because our retaliatory tariffs target swing states. Industry Minister Joly shut that down fast: you don't get to threaten our economy and then cry foul when Canada hits back with PRECISION. That’s called deterrence. 🇨🇦
