I said I was going to reserve worry about the April 20 Insurrection Act deadline until HCR mentioned it. Welp.
Granted, this is "just the facts, ma'am." But HCR doesn't mention things randomly.

@deanblundell.bsky.social is a disgraced former shock jock who peddled in misogyny and homophobia. Now he's peddling (wishful) propaganda. If someone is on your side and spinning tall tales, they are still lying and should be sidelined.

I've been writing regularly to my congressperson. I live in Canada, but I keep my ex-pat voter registration current in the US. Posting a record of the letters here. I have received one single reply so far.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.
Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.
This is who Trump governs for.

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social Please stop this new practice of making me watch videos on the CBC News website. I'm not always in a place I can have volume on + I'd rather skim articles.

Danielle Smith's actions are highly suspect, and may be an effort to invite US interference in the current Canadian election. Consider reporting her to Elections Canada. csep-pesc.elections.ca/en-CA/intake...

This is horrific.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

I've lived my whole life on the Canadian prairies.
Over the past decade, I've sensed new forms of western alienation and populism gripping the region.

Six weeks ago I and other Canadians tried to explain the decades of pent-up hostility we have here and a lot of USians laughed at us and...now here we are. Covered in bear fat. Preparing Molotov cocktails with Doug-fucking-Ford of all people.
the American consumer is interested in absorbing zero pain.
the Canadian consumer has already smeared themselves with the fat of a freshly killed bear and made an offering of blood for luck in the coming battle

I feel like we might have been used, Canada.
Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Probably the most important thing a Canadian could read today. We’re about to be taken advantage of in multiple ways. Eyes open.
Think the tariffs are bad? Keep you eye on what really matters -- how corporations will use this moment to profiteer, and how our govenrment doesn't seem to care enough to stop them.
