Canada is targeting red states
We should too

It's time for blue states to withhold federal taxes and let them starve.
Disrupt the flow of cash to this corrupt administration and strangle their budget.
Everyone should alter their fed tax status to exempt and the states set up an escrow account

The only reasonable thing Canada and Mexico can do is
RESIST

The attacks on our friends are clearly designed to weaken the US and it's alliances. The impacts on our economies will be devastating.

We're calling on the US Congress to impeach that madman and fast.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

‪Mia @mia-59.bsky.social pointed out the lack of democratic leadership in these insane times.

Where are they ?
Why aren't they out in the street leading protests, marching and raising all hell ?
Why aren't they all over the air waves screaming bloody murder ?
WTF is going on around here ?

Right? I don’t think that’s ever happened before?!?!
If Meta could stop gaslighting us by telling us "oh, if you were following VP or POTUS in the last admin, you're automatically following the new VP and POTUS account." - that'd be great.

Do something.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Still waiting for Democratic Senators to defy anything Trump does. No less than 12 Democratic Senators voted for the inhumane Laken Riley bill. Stop enabling Trump and the GOP and maybe we will take you seriously.

No one is OK right now.

At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.

My heart hurts and my chest feels heavy.

I cannot imagine what it feels like to be a trans person or immigrant in this country today. I’m so very sorry.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

I’m sorry about TikTok, I know it was really important to a lot of people. It’s hard to lose a thing you really like and it’s also really hard to hope someone gross will save something
