🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.
They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

Given the "Buy Canadian" push amid this asinine U.S. trade war, I rounded up a bunch of games that are both made *and* owned by Canadians. 🇨🇦 🎮
From @thelongdark.bsky.social and @deadbydaylight.com to @gord.games’ Moving Houses & @visaigames.bsky.social’
Venba, there are so many great options!

A new study from @mmfa.bsky.social reaches the obvious conclusion: "The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces"
This is, IMO, the single greatest threat to the left in the US, and the one to which it is most blind.

China is electrifying faster than any other economy in the world. It has correctly apprehended that electricity is the future and the country that gets there first & develops the best electrification tech will win the 21st century.
The US is held back in this race by its domestic O&G industry.

Why China is leading the global switch to electricity
In 2024, electricity made up 28% of China's total final energy consumption. That's comfortably ahead of the US (22%) and the EU (21%).

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
