@blakemurphy.bsky.social Christmas decorations should not go up until after Remembrance Day, not Hallowe’en. :)

The timing of Canadian Thanksgiving is “better” than in the U.S. because it’s not jammed up against Christmas.

To state the obvious, we rely on Canada for everything.

And their strategic partnership has been vital in supporting US war efforts for our entire history.

Choosing to antagonize them is never, never a good idea.

We have made an enemy out of a friend for no benefit.

What a contrast:

On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.

On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

This is the intersection point between Muskian arrogance and idiot populism: The conviction that there’s an extremely simple solution for everything that, somehow, nobody else has ever noticed & that you via either genius or “common sense” have uniquely hit upon.

I come from MAGA. Here’s the scary truth: MAGA IS the Republican Party. And MAGA full on embraces authoritarianism. Therefore, the Republican Party now full on embraces authoritarian. America must accept this truth. In order to defeat it.

Re-upping this. It’s not about fentanyl, at least not for Canada.

This is about bullying a smaller neighbour into being the “51st state”.

It’s the end of a longstanding friendship across countries and peoples. There will be no return to how things were after this act of aggression.
43 pounds.

That’s how much fentanyl was seized at the Can/US border last year.

Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country... Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often.

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware:

- the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania

- his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir

- he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post
