« A majority of Canadians polled in a new survey said they're actively supporting the Buy Canadian movement, and support stores removing U.S. products. Plus, Canadian travel to the U.S. has steadily declined since Trump took office in January. »

The U.S. boycott remains strong. Why many Canadians are digging in their heels | CBC News

Boycotts often wane over time as people lose interest and return to old habits. But many Canadians’ resolve to boycott the U.S., and focus on Canadian products has remained strong, thanks to Trump's p...

In other words, kiss your Tomahawks bye bye.

I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one.
President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine.
President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over. At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week.
The United States' initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this "inglorious" War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today's telephone conversation.

AOC on fire 🔥
Blowing up the right wing notion of masculinity.

This needs to be repeated all day everyday.

Brushing off toxic male rhetoric & notions as just boys being boys is killing our societies and our prosperous, harmonious and healthy futures.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 18h

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 22h

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

last i checked these young republicans were like 25 years old. but this is a classic case of infantilization to diminish the significance of the offense. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Vance downplays group chat messages: ‘Kids do stupid things, especially young boys.’

The vice president called the texts "edgy, offensive jokes."

Trusting experts who rely on sound science is a feature of an educated, intelligent & democratic society

Trusting anyone who claims to be an expert but doesn’t cite credible studies is not a feature of an intelligent & educated society

Manipulating info is a feature of a fascist society

Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · 15h

We’ve heard a lot of colossally stupid things from the Trump regime lately, but this is among the stupidest things I’ve heard from anyone, anywhere, ever.

Post quoting RFK Jr saying “We need to stop trusting the experts. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it’s a feature of religion and totalitarianism.”

Part of what AOC is doing here, which is critically important, is asserting a set of cultural values, which might be considered counter-cultural in the present context.

The regime has established and advertized their values.

The resistance has to establish a counter-narrative.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
