Will the Haitians from Springfield be there too, now fully nourished from all of the cats and dogs they've been eating over the last year?
Such an embarrassing political party

I have received the same ad and I'm utterly appalled.
I thought I was hallucinating, as literal Israeli propaganda presented itself across a YouTube video.
I'm not a Bible scholar, but I suspect it doesn't say to "RISE AND ACT FIRST" in the context of killing innocent people.

Good.
Musk chose to enter the political sphere and aggressively anchor his ship to Trump - campaign contributions, DOGE, the Tesla sales-pitch on the White House lawn, the list goes on.
Given the harm he's caused, public perception must continue to shame those who associate with him/his products.

Tesla's Cybertruck is officially a flop
The Cybertruck's resale value is plummeting due to overproduction and low demand for Tesla's polygonal truck.

In the not-so-distant future, historians will look back on this - shaking their heads in disbelief - at how US citizens enabled a government that chose the world's richest man(!) - with no experience in government(!!) - to dismantle it from within under the guise of efficiency(!!!).
Mind boggling

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

The attack on Truth™️ has been quite intentional. To unequivocally bash DEI/praise meritocracy and then make appointments that reflect sycophancy and nepotism = the most unqualified administration in modern history 😟
Continually resisting the "hypocrite bizarro world" with Truth™️ is all that's left

I'm struggling to write about the disinformation pouring out of the administration right now. The way they are warping language is painful. "Transparency", "equality", "civil rights protections" - all inverted.
Borrowing @noupside.bsky.social's phrase "hypocrite bizarro world" so I can cope.

Is this surprising?
Why invest in a country whose government is unpredictable, vindictive, and extortionary towards its allies?
If isolationism is a goal of the US government, let them have it - and sadly as a result, Americans will need to feel the impact of that choice.

Some basic facts about the world:
➡️The American President is a convicted felon, and is unsurprisingly acting like one after two weeks in office
➡️Tariffs most often lead to increased costs to the consumers of the country imposing the tariffs
➡️Canada will never (never) join the US

Donald Trump has just stated that the tariffs will stay on until Canada ceases to exist as a nation.
From here on in, my priority is Canada. All other considerations are secondary. Trump will never win. He will never break us.
Canada. True. North. Strong. Free.

For all the conspiracy theories that grabbed headlines, such as Haitians eating pets and the caravans of illegal immigrants from mental institutions crossing over the border - there are now actual convicted criminals being put back on the streets.
And it's Day 1.

So let me get this straight - the people who assaulted police, damaged property, and were lawfully convicted for their crimes - are now going to receive... pardons, by the leader of a party who claims to support... law and order?
Guess they weren't antifa or FBI operatives, afterall.

It's bad to encourage your supporters to commit acts of political violence, it's worse to return to power and then free them from accountability.

The first Trump term was wall-to-wall coverage of all the abnormal and damaging things he said and did.
The second term hasn't even started and mainstream media have capitulated to a level where upcoming abnormal and damaging things - of which there will be many - will be spun to seem normal 🤷♂️

Everything in these hearings is so painfully performative.
Senators ask their questions, nominees say enough to feign competence, media reports with click-bait headlines, and no one is wiser.
The motivation behind these picks has been clear from day one - complete and total obedience to Trump.

DURBIN: Should Jan. 6 defendants be pardoned?
BONDI: Pardons fall under the presidential power. But in reviewing those cases, I would look at each case and advise on case-by case basis…But let me be clear, I condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country.

Happy New Year, Bluesky community. My hope for 2025 is that it turns out to be the opposite of 2024 and brings the world more peace/less war, more love/less hatred, more freedom/less oppression, more democracy/less autocracy.

The thing Canadians are most unhappy about - besides the onset of winter - is that they now have to deal with this type of childish arrogance that their southern neighbors have elevated by electing this wannabe-despot.

We -🇨🇦 - didn’t elect this asshole and I, for one, am so tired of his shit.

Yet watching conservative movements across the world sink into an embrace of extremism - and seeing that Canada is not immune - is terrifying.

"Poilievre's rhetoric has emboldened extremist views within Canada’s Conservative base, giving rise to factions of conspiracy theorists, anti-immigrant, and anti-LGBTQ+ groups, signalling a troubling far-right shift in the party’s direction."

Average people with moral conscience care about doing what's "right" - and while there is no disputing the tragedy of 7 October, it does not warrant the tens of thousands of lives now lost because of Israel's unlawful retribution. And taking a stance to preserve life is not anti-Semitic - it's human
Things will get worse under Trump but if Western democratic values are ultimately to endure they have to be real values. Iraq was about ‘WMDs.’ Afghanistan about ‘liberating their women.’ What Israel is doing now is ‘lawful.’ It’s time we had a genuinely ethical foreign policy.
