@caryls5.bsky.social Welcome to Blue Sky!

I am looking south watching democracy die, and the entire world will suffer because of it.

Watching the press conference, I wanted to tell Vance and Trump to shove it, while giving Zelensky a hug. He is a hero, and didn't deserve that level of disrespect.

I literally felt sick watching it.

Utterly despicable, cowardly behavior by Vance & Trump. I’m embarrassed to be an American today.

If I were Rubio, listening to the spectacle happening in front of the cameras.. I would have lost my shit. I probably would have stood up, told Vance to shut his mouth as I walked away (and asking Zelensky if he wanted to join me). But... He didn't.

I am completely shocked. Speechless. Sick to my stomach. Disgusted.

This pretty much sums it up.

Trump's tariffs on Mexican imports are paused for one month, but no such luck for Canada, @zeitlin.bsky.social reports.

Good. Do it.

In his takeover of the U.S. government, Elon Musk has prioritized going after programs most despised by Putin. (He has also taken down the USAID website so that you cannot read its reports.)

Whatever the response, I also am fearful that it will somehow divide the unity that has built up in Canada as Canadians of different political stripes assess and judge the Canadian Governments reaction.

Toronto Raptors fans loudly boo American national anthem at Scotiabank Arena in response to Trump’s tariffs.

But the cheers were loud for ‘O Canada’ ahead of the home game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

I think we should keep our Tariffs in place until the USA stops the flow of illegal guns to Canada that are causing havoc in our cities, stops the flow of illegal immigrants to Canada, and stops the flow of illicit drugs to Canada (which really are pouring into Canada from the USA)

As a Canadian, I am worried about what our response will be. We shouldn't revert our plans for a 30 day extension, this is just playing games. If we don't back down, Trump will position it as Canada is "unfairly" attacking US and he must respond to protect the USA. If we do, he will say he won.

What confuses me... why allow a system where a President can bypass the government with executive orders? It feels like a tool for authoritarian tendencies. Shouldn't the USA rethink this power and protect democracy? #ChecksAndBalances #DemocracyMatters

In the last month, I have subscribed to both Wired and Rolling Stone. Two sources that do not seem to be afraid to speak up.

I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves.
We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves.
We will drink Canadian whiskey.
True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

I feel we should put a 25% tariff on the US until they can stop the flow of illegals and drugs to Canada.
