Jesus Christ

Canadian right-wing Twitter (including several folks who work/have worked closely with prominent conservatives!!) is melting down rn
Nick Kouvalis, Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s pollster, writes in response to Conservative MP Jamil Jivani posting a meme implying Ford is a Liberal: “I think Jamil Jivani will be resigning his seat so that Pierre Poilievre can run there. But these meme skills should make him a leading candidate to run the CPC social” Sue-Ann Levy, a (very) right-wing columnist, replies to Nick: “You created the Fat Fuck pictured here.” Nick Kouvalis, Ford’s pollster, replies to Sue Ann Levy (a deeply right-wing columnist) calling ford a “fat fuck” “Did you lose any weight recently? Like any in the last 15 years? When you point your finger, remember that there are 3 pointing back at you.” user VanIsleStuartD writes: “Can we stop this? Like everyone? Having our group therapy sessions in public seems pretty fucking stupid. There's blame on each side. Surely to christ there are some adults in the room who can put their big boy pants on and put this fucking feud to bed.” NickKouvalis replies: “Talk to your boyfriends, @AndrewScheer & @jamiljivani” User VanIsleStrtD replies: “I wouldn't put Andrew Scheer in charge of a two-car parade. And Jamil Jivani is more useless than tits on a rattlesnake. They need to STFU, but so, too, do people in Ford's camp. This public spat isn't helping either leader.” David Parker, who has worked closely with Danielle Smith, writes: “The fact that Pierre feels he can stay on is an inditement on the CPC.” Sue-Ann Levy, a very right-wing columnist, writes: “Be careful Fat Ford's pal Nick Kouvalis is on a rampage tonight.” She’s responding to former ontario MPP Goldi Ghamari, who wrote: “Ford is a liar. Pierre Poilievre sent volunteers to my election campaigns in Carleton all the time. He even helped doorknock for me....”

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

How many insiders, including Trump, just made a shit load of money short selling last week and buying this morning, I wonder?

Isn't there an agency that protects against that market manipulation?

... Lol wait. They control that too...

We seem to be heading towards the night-mare scenario of rapid de-dollarization. The Tooze post linked to here provides essential context and informed speculation as to how it could play out.

the other day @adamtooze.bsky.social laid out a nightmare scenario. We're edging closer to it. Very much recommend reading his post: adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

Unbeliveable but apparently true....
This really is one for the history books.
What an extraordinary breach of security.
So reckless it is almost hard to imagine it is true.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
