Not the exact same deal… this one is more favourable to Israel because IDF don’t have to leave Gaza completely.

Universal healthcare for all… young able bodied men aren’t the ones putting pressure on healthcare anyway.

She wasn’t even going to run but Schumer pushed for it… Because of course he did.

"News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon."

He is making fun of Trump. Trump called him a president which is a non-existent position in Canada. He’s laughing at Trump’s ignorance while mocking it being an upgrade from being called a Governor of 51st state.

How two lawsuits could expand Citizens United, eliminate campaign donations restrictions, and turn America into a kleptocracy — and how this nightmare can be stopped.

The Right's Secret Plan to Help Billionaires Buy Elections

J.D. Vance and other MAGA interests are working to get the Supreme Court to end restrictions on campaign-spending limits.

No response is exponentially better than this response.

Damn… She really needs to hire PR staff. Taking money from the Saudi government is one thing but she made herself sound extremely unpleasant with how she responded to all of this.

This guy is Italian and it’s a standalone case. Evangelicals are all bat shit crazy.

I’m pretty sure most Canadian stores took American alcohol off their shelves. Kentucky is crying because it’s so dependent on bourbon sales.

I laughed when the original frog guy who started the trend said he’s Mexican so he had spicier food than pepper spray.

Fuck them. Frog suits in Portland were awesome, captured national attention and showed just how ridiculous Trump’s claims of Portland being ravaged by war are.

To be honest, evangelicals make the Catholics look really good in comparison.

You know who usually gets upset about stuff like that? MAGA. They were all butthurt when during BLM protests there was a line up of white mothers standing off against SWAT. They tried to delegitimise white mothers protesting because they couldn’t paint them as violent criminals.

Yes and no. Crypto platforms are increasingly trying to operate like banks. Sure people may not think their bitcoin investment is a safe asset but they may think any uninvested cash they have in the app or invested in stable coins is safe.

You’re right, there are better ways. Not allowing camps in flood zones to begin with should be step #1 before worrying about how to best prepare for them.

Locking it off is fine. You can unlock when there is a flood warning.

I mean maybe there shouldn’t be camps in areas that are so remote there’s no broadband access?

At least Joni Ernst was honest “We are all going to die”.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established.

But they are not—b/c they think it polls badly.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 3d

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
