So CPC MP Michael Cooper (our pasty white test tube Stephen Miller clone) gave up trying to find a scandal with Carney’s blind trust and is now after….CITIZEN Trudeau (and the RCMP).

This all soooo USA GOP it’s like a low budget Canadian farce remake of the source material.

Trump and his cabinet aren’t a government, they’re a cartel. Power and money for all, integrity for none.

I'll believe it when I see it!

Yes!

And I feel the same way about having Elections Canada! Imagine if the CPC could subvert the elections process in Canada the same way the GOP does at every level in the US.

You the CPC would love to do likewise in Canada.

There are something like close to 180 countries in the world whose entire populations are less than the number of MAGA losers in the US.

Sad.

Roy is just another brand ambassador for a failed theocratic authoritarian country.

I look forward to the day when Trump's next (and final residence) is an unfinished pine box.

People say Trump should be consigned to the "annals of history" and I couldn't agree more, but he is such an asshole, so full of shit that maybe he could be consigned to the anals of history as well.

#BREAKING | Even after the ceasefire, Israel keeps demolishing Palestinian homes across Gaza’s “red zone” an area that makes up almost half of the Strip.

New footage from Rafah yesterday shows Israeli forces detonating and flattening entire neighborhoods, undermining every claim of reconstruction.

I'm sad to think of all the computers that could become e-waste because of the Windows 11 debacle.

John Meadows @johngmeadows.bsky.social · 4h

Giving MX Linux a proper test this morning. Sitting in my local coffee shop using an 11" 2021 Apple Macbook Air with 8 gigs of RAM (and i7 CPU) and the performance is quite good. There is no reason for old gear like this to be e-waste!

It could use a new battery but that is easily taken care of.

The USA is basically becoming El Salvador in real-time.

Sending another state's National Guard to beat down citizens in Portland.

An invasion in all but name.

The US is at war with itself now.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them
