It's so confusing as an American to be actively rooting for stuff like this
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.

if this is your reaction to a poor person being unable to afford the medicine they need to stay alive than you’re not actually part of the project of building a more just, equitable world. you’re just doing politics as sports and cheering when the other team gets an injury.

This is the confrontational energy we need from Democrats right now. Get in his face and tell him NO.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law
T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

GOOD. Finally, a news organization that doesn't bend the knee and cave to a settlement. We need MORE of this from outlets in the coming months and years.
BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment.
This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back.
Well done AP👏

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court
