Slava Ukraini. Underemployed political news junkie, wondering what the hell is going to happen next. There will be swearing. Human rights aren’t negotiable. ACAB. TACO. Right wing low lives blocked on sight, so don’t even bother.

I’ve been looking into this and I’m keen to get away from Apple Music and Spotify. Deezer seems ok?

Oh cool, that’s great! Canada has more in common with the EU anyway, they should all make it official. Now if only the UK would wake the fuck up…

The Eu is right there. I think they’d go well together.

Here’s the thing: the rest of us will be largely fine. It’s only the US that’s really going to fail. And it won’t get better for you until you wake up.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

He has a rare opportunity to have some fun with this. Roll out the red carpet in Ottawa for the largest Chinese electric car manufacturers and watch Elon's shareholders shit roofing nails.

Agreed. They complement each other well. Rename it the Atlantic Union if it comes to it.

He’ll tear down the whole White House because he hates it and all it stands for, and to punish the American public who hate him. Like a domestic abuser.

Yeah I see that; he’s prioritising the military and feds with guns to be his personal storm troopers. Which means they’ll directly owe their paycheques (and thus loyalty) to him.

🇺🇸 I don't want to overstate this, but any testimony from Jack Smith into Trump's attack on America would be a bombshell that would rock this country.
It is vital we know what led to Jan. 6, and Trump's part in it.
One way or the other, this MUST come out, and I salute Smith for coming forward.

At this rate democrats should continue to hold the shutdown until the gop scumbags relent and agree to impeach, convict and remove Trump from office.

Incredibly dangerous to democracy. Public funds to pay the troops are appropriated by Congress under Article I of the Constitution. Literal originalism.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 3h

New, from me: Trump is prioritizing paying the armed forces over other federal employees during a shutdown. He is trying to win over the rank and file even as he tells military leaders to target “the enemy within.” 🧵

I really want to see canada and the eu come together on things too. They have a lot in common and their requirements compliment each other well.
