WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THE US COAST GUARD ENTERING OUR SOVEREIGN WATERS AND DETAINING A CANADIAN?
THIS NEEDS YOUR ATTN

JonZoidberg @jonzoidberg.xyz · Jul 25

A Canadian fisherman was 15 km off the US coast and very close to Canadian soil, when the US Coast Guard rammed his boat, capsized it, arrested him and put him in a cell for hours.

This should be an international incident that ends with a rebuke of this regime.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian resisters

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

I litigated cases against giants that fell when the tech bubble burst and I have seen this coming from miles away. It’s going to be a bloodbath.

"Sceptics are privately - and some now publicly - asking whether the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be, at least in part, the result of what they call 'financial engineering'. In other words - there are fears these companies are overvalued."
