Any time someone in power spends a lot of time blaming people who don’t have any power at all, you can pretty much guarantee that THEY are to blame, and are looking for someone else to scapegoat that can’t fight back.

As a Canadian, Donald Trump thinks we are nasty. Considering who we KNOW he has been friends with, I take that as a compliment.

Conservative parties are inherently worse at balancing budgets. It’s built into their structure.
To balance a budget, you have two options: raise taxes or cut services. Typically, Conservatives cut services while Liberals raise taxes. But there are only so many services you CAN cut. 1/

If you can refuse to give your kid life-saving vaccines, you should not be allowed to restrict the medical decisions I make with regards to my kids and their gender affirming care.

Gender-affirming care literally saves lives.
🤔 politicians & judges are deeply invested in protecting a parent’s right to ban children’s books & refuse for their kids vaccines.
But parents are NOT allowed the right to make medical decisions for their trans* kids? 🥴

When the last kid is kicked out of their home because they’re LGBTQ, or the first kid gets kicked out because they’re NOT, then you can ask that. Until then, rainbows for all.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

A really important point to make is that a lot of people think that Starlink is the only real option for “anywhere” satellite internet. It’s not. There’s a lot of other options available, with a variety of speeds and costs. If you’re looking for alternatives, they’re out there.

I keep reading something that Trump is saying about tariffs: “They’re going to raise revenue. They’re going to help us pay our debt. They’re going to make us rich.”
What he is not saying is WHO pays that money into the debt. Because anyone who understands tariffs knows exactly who pays them.
