Canada please remember there are no good guys in this war. The enemy of Trump is not necessarily your friend. Canada has made a statement that is entirely consistent with our longstanding position on Iran. Don’t let your justified hate of Trump lead you to think Canada should support Iran.

TO PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.
Donald Trump is blockading CUBA and creating undue hardship on the beautiful people of that island nation.
ITS TIME TO RETURN THE FAVOR TO AMERICAN PEOPLE.

DO NOT BUY, DO NOT VISIT, DO NOT TRADE WITH ANYTHING AMERICAN.
TIME FOR THE REST OF THE PLANET TO STAND UP TO TRUMP.

US trade deficit hits fresh high despite Trump's tariffs The US bought more goods than it sold in 2025 as the White House attempts to reverse the flow.

One benefit touted by the rapist for imposing tarrifs is reducing the trade deficit. Again, he fails to deliver. Time to TACO the tarrifs.

They forget that those they go after are in a position to pay for lawyers who know the actual law and they'll defend their clients to the very best of their abilities. I've seen the lawyers that Trump attracts - all corrupt and barely competent.

Any free trade deal with USA is dead. Lobbying the pedophile won't help. He only cares about himself. Let him cancel the deal. We can negotiate a win win deal after he is out of office. Elbows up Team Canada.

This isn't the first time American leaders have suggested annexing Canada | CBC News The threat of the American invasion β€” and the reality of American tariffs β€” spurred Canadian Confederation more than 150 years ago.

Nothing original by the rapist, just recycled ideas from the 1800s.

I agree with @percyrooy.bsky.social. PP will continue as leader as long as they are in opposition. He is good at opposing what Canadians want. The EU expands to include other middle powers. Carney continues as PM until he becomes President of middle powers. Oh, back to the convention. Senior moment.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Russia has "elections". China has "elections". North Korea has "elections".

So please just shut the fuck up about the goddamned midterms, and how "TrUmP cAn'T cAnCeL eLeCtIoNs!"

Trump will do whatever the fuck he wants until someone stops him. And, sadly, there is NO ONE rising to that challenge.πŸ˜”

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:

β€œYesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.

β€œToday, we demand accountability.

β€œIn the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a β€œdomestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.

β€œOur demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

He is insufferable, but we have to wait for the rapist to cancel CUSMA. That will be their last card. Then we can buy the Griffens and implement the Digital Services Tax.

Most kids followed the rules, and the playground was fun. The Problem: Some of the big kids grew much bigger and stronger than everyone else.Β  They started to break the rules.Β  They would say: β€œI can take the swing because I’m big.” β€œIf you don’t let me win, I won’t let you play anymore.”

It worked for Greenland. Now, stand up to Putin by sending Coalition of the Willing troops into Ukraine. Russian troops will start retreating before Coalition troops get to the front line.

Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen:
We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends.
Even if there are minerals and oil under our land-and they are worth far more-we still would not sell ourselves.
