It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
History nerd. News Junkie. Wargamer. Mediocre mini painter. Dad. Ardent ideological Liberal. Salesman. I think that’s it.

Happy Labor Day! Anybody see this in today's newspaper? ✊🔥 Sign our pledge to stand with over 12,000 union Starbucks workers and say No Contract, No Coffee! 👉 bit.ly/NoContractNoCoffee
Ehhh I have a hard time believing that. Wab Kinew has been pushing this for months.
happy labor day
RUSSIA backs Hungary Hungary backs heritage foundation Heritage Foundation pushes project 2025. Which part don't you get?
Make it stop
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
It’s really sad that America is descending into fascism, but it’s nice that Trump has had to experience multiple news cycles in which the entire nation speculates on whether he’s a pedophile and/or dead.
Land bridge to transnistria
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
This is targeted at rural white quebecois who are afraid of Montreal in the same way anti trans or anti Muslim bills in Kentucky are targeted at scary people from Chicago. It’s all just baiting for rural people.
What if most ppl arent actually still seething about an event from five years ago and the only ppl that are are extremely online weirdos and the reason why a lot of our news media & our political class cant see the forest for the trees on this is bc they too are way too online?

Again, allow me to invite you to consider what the Only Topic on The Sunday Shows would have been if Joe Biden were still president.
Sources cited by mainstream journalists is not the same as a rumour. Im not being partisan, I’m being realistic. The Defense establishment has at least a major win that favours the f35. We have to publicly discuss this to ensure they don’t win the day.

Truck drivers, bus drivers, factory workers, restaurant workers. The solution to not being able to find enough employees is a Churchillian conundrum. A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Yes, that may mean your business is non-viable, but hey, that's glorious capitalism. No? Oh, well...
Every time a business executive/owner complains about the wOrKeR sHOrTaGe or nOBoDy wAnTiNG tO wOrK aNyMoRe (bsky.app/profile/paul...) or unfair competitors paying "above market rates," one realizes how few people in 🇺🇸 who love to glorify free markets & capitalism seriously believe in those things.
ottawacitizen.com/public-servi... Establishment officials who have been too close to the project have been pushing the F35 when Harper was debating pulling us from it. It’s a problem neither party has dealt with.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Article I!
It’s all but decided to do the F35. RCAF is pushing it for some dumb ass reason.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
The Democratic Party has badly lost its way.
Anyway, I'm sure it's fine that the guy who normally won't shut up for the cameras has avoided them for nearly a week now.
Replacing reason with superstition is a feature of religion and totalitarianism. Thank you for coming to my TED talk on the madness of RFK, Jr. and MAHA.
@badsquiddogames.bsky.social
I’m almost nostalgic for the days when these shitweasels used to whine about not being able to talk about immigration without being called racist, or ‘waycist’ as one of them used to ‘joke’.

It’s time folks for some #SidewalkChalk civil disobedience. Grab some chalk, go outside with your kids, and draw, write, sketch, vent, play hopscotch. This shit has gone too far. #ChalkCrime
The more you see Some Like it Hot—probably in my Lettrbox 4–the more you realize how subversive in so many levels it was.
Still stunned how Trump humiliated himself and the country—and the press couldn't manage 1% of the accuracy or outrage that occurred after his Helsinki flop, which wasn't nearly as consequential.
If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
This past week, I focused on Canadian school supply brands from the past. Today, I will finish off the series with a look at some of the snacks Canadian children had in their lunches. Some are still around, some are long gone. Enjoy this nostalgic tastebud journey! 🧵 1/12
Read this whole thread. A cop threatens Amanda, who then proceeds to unmask his socials, revealing him to be a sex fiend with a kink for cuck. Who the hell uses social media for porn anyway?

I don’t know if Trump is dying. But I do know that people telling themselves Vance would be better because he’s not as “popular” are ignoring the fact that these fascist systems are designed to crush democracy and popularity doesn’t figure into it. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/if-trump-d...
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
Honestly red light cameras and forcing stops at actual 4 way stops will be better. The problem with 40km limits, is that most of the time the roads they’re used on were designed for 70km speeds. So your body feels like you *should* go faster.
the demand is always expressed in terms of blue state governments step in and keep rural hospitals open. but why can't red rural county governments step in and keep rural hospitals open?
When I was in WV, a county was screaming about how the books their kids used were so old that Clinton was still President. (Obama had been elected). The county reached out to the publisher, made a deal, and then told the voters it would cost a household tax levy of $1. It failed by > 80 points.
I just drove through a town with 40km enforced with speed cameras. It felt brutal. But earlier I drove through another small town and did 40 easily without enforcement. The difference? Wide roads make us feel like we *should* drive faster. Narrow the streets.
I'm with Charlie. Elbows up 🇨🇦

Failing to meet the moment once again.
People often forget that part of the social contract for the gernous social systems enjoyed by Nordic countries, is a major Defense system where people also have to play active parts in civil Defense. Generous social services come with firm national Defense responsibilities.
Ben Obese-Jecty is the only Conservative MP and frankly one of the vanishingly small number of MPs, full stop, to react to this stuff in a normal way.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
I'm going with the pathologist's take - the less Rump golfs, the closer he is to croaking.
Trump MIA. Also nothing scheduled over the weekend. Hasn't golfed in a while.
if I lived in a water bong for the next hundred years I would still never be high enough to know what the fuck he’s going on about
Brian, criticize me all you want, but get your facts straight. I publicly came out against Trump 7yrs ago, took a blowtorch to my career in doing so. I left the GOP about 6yrs ago. Trump is burning this country down. Dems must be more than “concerned” about that. We must be righteously pissed off.
look the states are still laboratories of democracy in this battered federalist system but something that's getting real apparent is that some states are acting like a dinky little Quest Diagnostics urinalysis lab while some states are acting like the friggin Manhattan Project for democracy
yo this guy is cooking
Congress needs to be more afraid of voters.
They're talking about us like we're feral animals.
More info here: afghanevac.org/battle-buddies I’d encourage other veterans to sign up - help those who helped us
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
support unions - join a union, form a union. there is power in numbers.
Trumpeter 1:35 12.8cm Anti-Tank Gun. A nice build. Some parts are very brittle and fiddly. The instructions are a bit vague in places. Time to clean the workbench for the 1st September build #histscalemodels #scalemodels
Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed
We're building working-class power, and it's about a lot more than a single election.
I think that it's now important for rainbow sidewalks to start appearing all over the city and all at once. They can't guard everywhere or there wouldn't be any street crime. #resist
Truly amazing grift. 😆 Bold, bald-faced racketeering. Have Carmine Nigro take Metrolinx for half a billion as his reward. Outstanding for the bust out. Nigro, chair of the LCBO and Ontario Place. 😉 Put it in front of one of Ford's judges, and job done. www.orilliamatters.com/local-news/f...
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
In any other era, Congress would have opened an investigation into this. The corruption that we are witnessing is staggering. This is Ben Ali’s level of corruption and abuse of power.
The pilot tried several touch-and-goes to try to dislodge the gear, but during one touch and go, the F-35 entered Ground Mode and became unflyable. The F-35 had ice in the hydraulic system that caused the landing gear to stick. Ice. Canada really needs to walk away.
“You should be taxed into poverty” is nowhere near “you should be raped unconscious and thrown into a dumpster” THAT is why I left Twitter. I get annoying scolds who are rude to me here but no threats or abuse. I seen none of that here.

This is crazy man we’re just totally separating ourselves from the global mail network just so we can do infinity tariffs
RW Southerners are so easy to manipulate. You just take the accent and say idiotic things. Look at Senator Kennedy and country music stars.
Physicians are using A.I. for diagnoses and more. But a new study found evidence that relying on A.I. tools might erode a doctor’s ability to perform fundamental skills without the technology, a phenomenon known as “deskilling.”
Fuck right off. Get stuck in your own quagmire.
I sincerely think we have to accept the fact that the midterms are not going to be clean, fair and safe. This administration cannot lose and they are desperate. If they figured out how to hack the machines via a cable in 2024, they will do it again. We need to stop it, by exposing it.

EO’s are not laws and it would be great if everyone remembered that and stopped acting like they are. Looking at you GOP
That kids of German immigrants who fought in ww2 did not go through the same cultural shock as Germans n Germany. Despite being victorious from fighting the Germans, they didn’t have the cultural shock as the 67 generation. Many just swept it away and never spoke of it.
Wow! A leader finally dared say what everyone thinks. Portugal's President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, said Trump is a Russian asset.
If this guy appears in the USA and he is not extradited to Canadian authorities on request it would be in violation of the Bilateral Extradition Treaty signed in 1976 between Canada and the USA and would start a new phase of this quiet conflict.
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
I’m saying mostly because I’m not familiar on the experience in the east except to say they didn’t have a full overhaul like the 67’s did. Also, there were East Germans who knew that what happened was wrong and their parents were wrong. But how it manifested was wildly different.
Alberta is banning The Handmaid’s Tale in schools.
Also, Austrians decided to call themselves the victim. It was a different experience there as well.
This is a really interesting thing too. It’s mostly west German. The East Germans didn’t really have a similar experience as the 67’s in the west. Also, the large numbers of Germans who left and immigrated to America and canada also didn’t go through a similar reckoning - oddly enough.
yeah i don't think people really clock what we think of as the German popular response to the Reich wasn't so much the generation who fought the war but their kids going "what the actual fuck"
It’s a little bit funny that so many people with influential platforms remain committed to the idea that Trumpism, as a political project, is mysterious and hard to pin down – while Trump himself constantly goes “Gotta protect the white real Americans from the black and brown hordes.”
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Sorry Mike, but you’re being unnecessarily hyperbolic here. Both people in the pic claim to be “left” - hell both claim to be establishment dems. But both are taking opposing views of the issue. It’s lazy labelling at best.
