Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked? We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….
Evan Solomon posts, quoting his post condemning deepfake sexual abuse, that “Contrary to media reports, Canada is not considering a ban of X.”

Hannah Arendt and the new age of populism
A year into Trump’s second term is a good moment to revisit Hannah Arendt’s warnings about ideology, isolation, and the slow erosion of truth.

Even if having “pronouns in her bio” were a bad thing, the shooter wasn’t looking at her bio, he was looking at her FUCKING FACE. DID SHE HAVE PRONOUNS ON HER FUCKING FACE, YOU NAZI FUCK?

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

We are officially headed to an economic fantasy land. Trump wants a mirage instead of real stats to make it look like he’s running a great economy. This is how he bankrupted his casinos folks.

Trump’s “Great Deal” Just Screwed Us All. A 15% tariff hike means we pay more for cars, clothes, medicine, and tech from Europe and the UK, while they get our stuff tariff-free. It’s not a trade deal. It’s a price hike dressed in a MAGA hat. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Trump, on the leader of Russia: "Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good” It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding. No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

Anyone advocating for Alberta separation from Canada, especially Danielle Smith and Alberta legislature, should pack their bags and renounce their citizenship. They can leave but the land will stay. The land belongs to First Nations and the treaties are with the Crown. #cdnpoli #AlbertaSeparation
First Nations’ Chiefs say that treaties that cover Alberta pre-date the province’s entry into Confederation and they are vowing that any efforts at Alberta separation “will be met with their full opposition.”

This new Texas law copies anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany. That legislation consisted of a series of restrictive laws passed in 1933, then the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. This is not an exaggeration.

He doesn’t understand. Many small business cannot order products that are manufactured in the US because the batches are too small. It simply cannot be done and won’t be possible for years. Trump is the single worst president for small business this country has ever seen.

Every single Albertan I know is queer, feminist, a person of colour or all three. It's so easy to write off Alberta as the shitty part of Canada and that they get the government they deserve but that attitude makes us no better than separatists.
