It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Donald Trump wants to own Greenland. Canada might be next.
One thing is certain: if he does attack Canada, there will be plenty of right-wing media figures and Conservative supporters who will happily justify and defend his decision. #cdnpoli

Carney reportedly wrote the speech himself. Canada's govt is in good hands. He urges everyone to recognize that the US has joined Ru in finishing off the intl order and is trying to convert allies into vassals but also to remember Canada/EU/others have the power to push back and defend sovereignty.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

The disgusting hypocrisy of course is that while she praises world class government healthcare, her husband is fighting to gut healthcare from tens of millions.

This isn't said enough. It is a foundational LIE used to support a host of horrible policies.

Inviting Vladimir Putin to join a “peace board” is the diplomatic equivalent of hiring an arsonist to run the fire department. You don’t build peace by empowering the very people who torch it.
