Just been zoning out and doing some self-care. It's so easy for me to get news fatigue that brings me down and depresses me. I'll be back.

Trump says there have been POSITIVE developments in a potential ceasefire!

Putin’s OMINOUS response to ceasefire:

Putin wore a military uniform & stressed that captured Ukrainian soldiers would be treated as TERRORISTS under Russian law

Trump's claims are bogus

Donald Trump says that the U.S. is basically giving Canada hundreds of billions of dollars every year in subsidies. This has become a big part of his beef with trade between the two countries. But is there any truth to what he's saying?

It cannot be repeated often enough that Pierre Poilievre is a Trump supporter who is endorsed by the Orange Caligula and Elon Musk. Do not vote Conservative.

This might seem petty and it kinda is, but I've been honking at any Swasticars I see. Yesterday, my wife and I pulled up behind a piece of shit Cybertruck in an A&W drive-thru. We were right behind it and I honked at them as they were leaving. It felt good. Just doing my part. Elbow's up!n

It is interesting that all my life I’ve heard how much the gentleman who are incarcerated dislike pedos and child rapists. I guess they all have a higher moral standard than the “Christian” right.

When elected officials aren’t allowed to question those in power, your democracy is in full collapse.

From the BuyFromEU community on Reddit, a post by a user named Scottca (@saelliott.bsky.social) reads: "A great idea! Pass it on. ca Canadian shoppers are starting a new habit. After checking an item if it is a US product they return it to the shelf upside down and turn several more of the same item upside down so the next shopper knows to skip that product."

Politics Smith defends using taxpayer dollars on travelling to U.S. to appear alongside controversial podcaster "This will be an incredibly important conversation to be had and shared widely with Americans," Smith's office said in a statement. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office is defending her plans to use public money to travel to the U.S. and appear alongside a controversial conservative podcaster at an event in Florida later this month in a statement that comes days after appearing on another American alt-right radio show. The event's website lists the location only as "South Florida" with tickets starting at US$1,500 for the March 27 gala. Postmedia followed up with the premier’s office Monday, asking about how many staff would travel with the premier to Florida and if public money would cover that travel and subsequent expenses. Smith’s office didn’t answer questions about how many staff would accompany her on the trip, saying the itinerary was still to be finalized, but did confirm that costs would be paid by taxpayers. “Given this travel will be part of the premier’s advocacy in the U.S., the costs for the premier’s travel and accommodations will be covered by Alberta’s government.”

A political cartoon depicting a figure resembling Donald Trump holding a large cannon labeled "Trade War." The cannon is pointed at a person wearing a shirt that says "Trump Voter," whose head is exploding with smoke and debris. Above the scene, the word "BOOM!" is written. To the left, there are signposts pointing to "Canada," "China," and "Mexico." The cartoon is signed by Mike Luckovich. At the bottom, the hashtag "#DUMBFUCKS" is prominently displayed.

Erik Moeller edited 11h ago · @eloquence@social.coop I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing only on one man. Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed. It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an extraordinary figure. He was a reality show grifter with a crumbling business; Hitler was an undisciplined drifter with delusions of grandeur. It's the soil that matters, not just the rotten harvest.
