On the topic of the possibility of Canada joining the European Union. Which btw is an extraordinary and powerful idea.....

"Can you imagine? It'd be like all the kids at school sitting at one table and just looking across at the US by itself, eating glue."

If you’re asking yourself what Democrats are doing to fight back, the answer in this era is going to be to look to the states. This is a good place to start 👇
Attorneys general from 18 states sued to block an executive order by President Trump that seeks to deny citizenship to babies born to unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. The states view Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship as “extraordinary and extreme.” nyti.ms/3E2qr53

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Suddenly, Trump Allies Quietly Admit He May Not Have a Huge “Mandate”
As people around Trump fear that he starts his presidency in a less dominant position than he thinks, a political theorist explains why so much is riding on the public rejecting his second term.

Don't forget to put the oxygen mask on yourselves first, people.
Get outside, take a walk, hydrate, write down your thoughts, play some music, make some art.
Breathe.
We need all of us to be in the best frame of mind and body we can be.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

Tulsi Gabbard isn't a Russian agent. At least, there's no evidence of that. But Gabbard has taken reasonable skepticism of the national security establishment so far that she seems open to all kinds of bullshit, including Russian propaganda. Not ideal for DNI. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Tulsi Gabbard is a uniquely bad choice for Director of National Intelligence
But she's perfect for Trump.
