I gave up on Twitter awhile ago, and left the platform when I felt like my feed was filled with bots and propaganda I had zero interest in engaging with. I was waiting for an alternative to pop back up, so I'm here to check it out.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

A common refrain I see on social media is that if you can't boycott perfectly, why boycott at all? After all I'm still on Bluesky which is American!
A boycott doesn't have to be perfect to be successful. Collective action works one purchase at a time. And we're still going #elbowsup #Canada

My two cents on the Digital Services Tax and the ongoing trade war... #Canada #CdnPoli
I am, like I suspect a lot of Canadians are, burnt out.
I'm not happy, but I'm a lot more worried about concessions that are harder to reverse.

Expect a big shift to "sectoral" tariffs in next few days, now that country-wide tariffs struck down
Trump admin has been signaling for a while that it intended to rely more heavily on this tariff authority (Section 232), presumably b/c it might be easier to defend in court

*Sector-based tariffs (lumber, steel, copper, and more tk including chips, pharmaceuticals etc) use a different authority, Section 232, which are unaffected by this ruling

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
