British-Canadian happily in Nova Scotia. MAGA hater. Eat the Rich. I’m afraid of Americans - my fave Bowie song.
I sit here in rural Nova Scotia listening to some of the most intellectually challenging music ever made - jazz - the great American art form. I wonder what has become of your amazing country. The barbarians are in charge. You will be back though, I know it.

The rest of the free world needs to step up and sideline the US. Once a beacon of freedom and hope America is now a rogue nation run by a group of extremist sociopaths led by an incoherent madman. Every country has an ugly underbelly - sadly the US is being run by those deplorables.

Pope Leo will advocate for a theory of human dignity and social morality that transcends the politics of the moment. His election is not a verdict on America’s future or a victory for any faction, but a choice rooted in continuity and vision.

The first American pope is not about America at all
Robert Prevost — now Pope Leo XIV — is not your typical boomer Chicago Catholic.

Right, Trump just does not understand that he has very little leverage against a rising power that was already going to eclipse the US anyway.
All he did was show all the US trading partners that he is crazy and the US is an unreliable partner. That just helps Xi and China surpass the US faster.

If anyone wants to understand Americans, all they need to know is that 44% of them still approve of Trump. I know it’s hard to believe for those of us in the rest of the world.

Pierre Poilievre tries to distance himself from MAGA/Trump, until he echoes them. UNWRA provides poor war torn people with humanitarian assistance; then again Poilievre voted against providing poor kids in Canada with school lunch. PP despises the UN and organizations formed by the ALLIES after WW2.

The US hates Canada, the EU, the Commonwealth, other democratic countries because we've accomplished what they cannot. We've proved how social democracy works. Public healthcare, quality in education and functional social safety nets and supports. Everything they lack and cannot obtain.

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work.
If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings.
Fighting back isn’t an option.
It’s the only option.
