Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Doug Ford chooses to spend billions of our tax dollars on building a highway for his friends, parking lots for private spas and getting booze into gas stations before an election, but he won’t ensure our kids have AC at school. Please don’t fall for the Captain Canada BS.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

So, doing chores in exchange for lodging gets you handcuffed by ICE and thrown into detention for (so far) over 10 days. A British National who was leaving the country to come into Canada, and forced to return by U.S. customs to face punishment for her 'crime'. Who's ready to visit the U.S.?

While i have no intention of traveling to the US for the foreseeable future (unless for family emergencies) i have serious concerns for those coming for @agu.org conferences or similar. Will they be detained if ICE thinks they’re doing “work”? 🧪⚒️ www.huffpost.com/entry/britis...

Trump reportedly told Justin Trudeau he does not believe the border between the US and Canada is “valid” and he wants to “revise” it. Trump has also said he wants to bring Canada to its knees by driving them into economic ruin.

The petition to strip Elon Musk of Canadian citizenship has 168,000 signatures. This grassroots initiative has exploded in just a few days. Now the UK media are covering it. Musk is a fascist threat to democracy. We kicked out Ernst zundel, Musk is just as bad. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
