On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it.
The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

The further right the democrats go, the more republicans they’ll make.
If they’re going to capitulate to republican policies anyways, people are just going to choose the party that’s actually successful at those policies to begin with.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Zelenskyy owes the US nothing. He shouldn't sign any deals w/ us. Trump/Vance's weak narcissistic bullying show clearly that they're Putin's puppet. Ukraine: the US has failed you. Lean into Europe, squash Russia. The American people are support you but our pres is busy slobbering on Putin's nob.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk.
Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding.
They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Ontario’s response to tariffs by cutting power makes sense politically, but don’t forget the human cost—people in 15° to -20° temps, farms at risk, and possibly months without reliable power. No work = no pay. Support the decision, but remember the people suffering. #Tariffs #HumanImpact

Everyday we get more evidence that the people who proclaim themselves “leftist” that sat in the sidelines because they saw “no difference” between Harris or Trump in the White House have horrible judgment and puny imaginations.
I don’t know if solidarity would have won, but disunity brought this.

This year, I propose we shift Valentine’s Day to Saturday, February 15. I love you so much that I want to buy you twice the chocolates at 50% off, flowers at 75% off, and enjoy regular restaurant prices. Let’s celebrate smart—same love, half the price, just one day later. Who’s with me?
