Proud member of the critical thinking minority, just trying to navigate the landscape of the indoctrinated. I do not accept rando DMs without a purpose. 'Hi' and 'How are you?' from strangers -- I will unfollow and block you.

Trump says the whole world has become “somewhat of a casino.” He bankrupted 4 casinos.

His supporters are unbelievable. When the country is at rock bottom, when the economy is in the toilet, when LGBTIQA+ folks are barred from society, when women can no longer vote, when veterans die in the streets, only then will they be satisfied and say "Thank god we got rid of all that waste."

33 times Zelensky thanked Americans and US leaders — a number counted by CNN journalists over the course of the full-scale war. This comes amid accusations from Trump and Vance that Zelensky has shown “insufficient gratitude” toward the US.

When the time of reckoning occurs, I want reparations. All those who supported this administration, even if they're sorry ("We just didn't realize...!!!"), are responsible for cleaning up the fucking mess.

For your safety, it is advisable to avoid traveling to the U.S. Instead, consider spending your tourist dollars in Canada, where there are established checks and balances as well as a steadfast rule of law.. 🇨🇦

You are making a big difference in standing up to tyranny. Your decision to cancel the family trip to the United States is freaking them out. As Donald insults our nation, businesses are watching our tourism dollars dry up. Boycott all trips to the United States. www.thetravel.com/us-travel-as...

Canada caved and agreed to do USA's job. Their border is their border. Ours is ours. We let in and keep out whomever we decide. If USA doesn't want them over there, they're responsible for keeping them out, not us. I grew up the the USA, moved to Canada. It's still too close. Where can I go next?

Ecuador's president Nooba is an ass-kisser to suggest tariffs on Mexico to curry Trump's favour. I got news for you, Nooba. Trump doesn't know you exist and he couldn't even find Ecuador on the map.

Truth!! Diaper Don gets an erection when other leaders come in the spirit of collaboration. He sees it as a sign of weakness. It reaffirms his delusion that now, by golly, people "respect" him (ha!!!).

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

Now is the time of opportunity. The USA gets 52% of its oil from Canada. QUICK, before they scramble around to up their own production, let's double the price of oil we sell to the USA!

Canada and Mexico need to be strengthening ties. We need to form a stronger alliance, close ranks, help each other expand markets to offset losses from the decreased US market.

Don't show any weakness to Trump. Even though it will hurt my country, make however you respond hurt. Set the retaliatory tariffs higher than 25%. Our country is suffering from Trumpism cancer and will need to hurt enough to want to change.

Gov JB Pritzker (R-IL) signs order prohibiting Jan 6 rioters from state employment in Illinois: “I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State”

Google just fell on its knees and gave Donald Jung-Il a big blowjob by agreeing to rename already named places on Google Maps. How long will this bullshit continue? Must we really wait until mid-terms?

Some news: A few hours after I filed the draft to this story, CNN laid me off. As part of a massive restructuring/changes across the network, my role as climate writer was among the 200 that got cut last week. It’s disappointing, but I’ll be okay. My last day is on Feb 21. A thread.🧵 1/

Trump’s executive order took aim at “environmental justice” — eliminating positions and assessing spending on projects, including those aimed at poor, rural communities. I talked to former WH environmental justice advisers to the Biden administration on what this means. www.cnn.com/2025/01/26/c...

1000% this. I am increasingly exasperated and frustrated that so many people do not seem to realize what this is. Trump is not a rational actor looking for a fair deal. He's a thug who believes every activity is zero sum and every compromise is weakness. Plan accordingly.

Again, let me emphasize, the threatened tariff on Canada is not meant to instigate a 'trade war'. This is not 'oh I don't like your stumpage fees so I'll tariff your softwood and then we tariff their orange joice'. The threatened tariff is just plain aggression, using tariffs as the tactic.
