A recent article suggests that Canadians who question the purchase of the F-35 are emotional and driven by deep-seated anti-Americanism.
Such is the view of those promoting the "interoperability" of our planes with US forces.
What if the threat is from the US?

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

They are warehousing people. And as glad as I am that Patterson "decided" (read: shamed into and realized the full power of the boycott was coming for his geriatric ass) not to go along with it, the fact that it's actually a thing is repulsive.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

My fiefdom for someone to shoot back at the Tangerine Bloviator to say just about any insult they can come up. Even a snap about his mother.

Hi Coloradans!

Reminder, in Colorado, the election primary looks like this:

Caucus -- > Primary --> General Election

This means that in order to get progressive Democrats on the primary ballot, we need to attend caucus to get them on.

Once again, Jason Kenney invited these assholes into his party while he chased out the centrist normies for not being "conservative" enough for his liking. That he's getting shirty about it now is just insulting to everyone's intelligence.

@eby-david.bsky.social was right to call this out.Asking 'foreign' govt for 500 billion $ to separate from sovereign country is serious.To hide this information would be dangerous. This is not the time for Canadians to be naive and complacent @courtneydickson.bsky.social #JohnSantos @cbcnews.ca
Premier Eby calls out treason of those meeting with American officials to break up our nation.
CBC chastises Eby saying blunt talk will encourage the treason "curious" to commit treason.
Since when are we worried about those who are "curious" about treason?

Nations must boycott this. Wherever you are in the world, write your politicians and say they should boycott all games playing in the United States, only play Canada/Mex.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
