This is correct.
So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

This is correct.
Zuck is failing to differentiate between facts and opinions with his stance. Barb McQuade is spot on: Meta’s Abandonment of Fact-Checking Empowers a President Who Traffics in Lies

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.
A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”
A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”

Totally feeling this vibe too! 🤣
Idk I kinda love this vibe from Kamala Harris, she’s like that veteran teacher on the last day of school before retirement secretly taking tequila shots in the supply closet & reveling in the smugness like, “y’all did this, enjoy the chaos” 🥳 I’m into it.

The media needs to stop calling the January 6 rioters “protesters.” They violently tried to overturn an election and overthrow our government. That wasn’t a protest—it was a coup attempt!
No wonder January 6 ranks incredibly low on folks’ memory of Trump’s 1st term. Words matter!

THIS FLEW UNDER THE RADAR
Members of the German neo-Nazi political group AfD plan to attend Trump’s inauguration.
They’ve actively been engaging with U.S. conservatives & trying to capitalize on Trump’s momentum. Keep an eye on this, especially in light of Elon’s newly discovered support of AfD.

Joyce Vance is a great follow: this is a must read. As she says - stay informed! 1984 is upon us!
George Orwell and The Founding Fathers
You may want to prepare yourself for the coming Trump administration by rereading George Orwell’s “1984” if it’s been a while.

This list is scary enough but there are many others who are not in the Ex Branch. What I see here is the Trump Cult Translation: Exec Branch Deep State List = People doing their job
@timmiller.bsky.social published Kash Patel's "Executive Branch Deep State" list, originally an appendix to his "Government Gangsters" book, and posted it on xitter.
50+ current and former officials who Patel intends to target.
I'm on it, for my 3 months of government service.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

Thank you Joe. You have saved your son from more aggravation from the incoming administration. Now some preemptive pardons are needed for those who will be unnecessarily targeted. The list is long.

Trump throws down the gauntlet. The answer from the Senate MUST be no. Kash Patel cannot be put in charge of the FBI.

This is making America Great Again? I.Think.Not! 🤮 I am just sickened by this bc I have no confidence these anti-democracy bomb throwers will not be confirmed.
Trumps cabinet: five people involved with Project 2025, three people accused of sexual assault, two Fox News hosts, a WWE star, and a daytime TV doctor.

An important read for everyone, especially boys and men so they know how the girls/women in their lives might be feeling after the election, as the consequences begin to emerge. You can feel the depth of the writer’s angst. Thanks to @personalityofcolt.bsky.social for sharing this on Threads.

An accused sex trafficker as AG. A confirmed goat- and dog-murderer at DHS. A backup Fox & Friends host running the U.S. Armed Forces.
And a Science of Identity Foundation cultist who flipped from Democratic to MAGA and is a “Russian spy” according to former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) as DNI.

Still on Threads as it was my political escape from Twitter/X for the election. Came to Bluesky to check it out bc it sounded like a good place to reclaim a variety of interests. Looking for Threads folks I can follow here. I deleted Twitter last week never to return.
