I'm obsessed with this story by @katherinegarrison.bsky.social at @foofarawpress.bsky.social So clever... it's the kind of story that feels like fun, and then the sad and chilling undertow pulls you deep. Also, the audio narration is fabulous!

“30% of our international travel are Canadians, and we're seeing an impact to our state.” - @cortezmasto.senate.gov I wonder wh— "There are reasons why the president and some of his team referred to Canada as being mean and nasty to deal with, OK." - US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra Oh, right.

I tried to go to Mark Cuban's page to see what he's been saying about the political situation lately, and apparently I'm blocked because I've been added to some pro-AI list? I am absolutely not an AI apologist and think AI has no place in creative spaces. How do people end up added to these packs?

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Canadians, do not allow CBC radio to host a "discussion" with Americans about whether or not Canada should exist as a country. We must not normalize this. Email checkup@cbc.ca. Contact the ombudsman. cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman If this airs, we boycott and call for resignations.

No. Call it out as a threat against our sovereignty. These are not simply "comments" to be discussed. Trump is violating international law. Do not normalize this. Do not frame this as if it's remotely reasonable. Do not send the message to Americans that Canadian sovereignty is up for debate.
