History tidbit...the Polish Treasures: As Nazis invaded Poland, museum workers risked their lives to pack up artifacts and ship to Canada for safe keeping. They included Chopin manuscripts, a Gutenberg Bible, and the Szczerbiec (coronation sword), among others. Canada returned only when fully safe.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

I am just as ill at ease over the way this administration has hijacked American democracy...and taking basic competence with them.
But for a number of reasons I'm done with outrage. These people no longer get my anger. Just my determination to replace it and chaos with justice and kindness.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.
This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

When Canada deepens ties with China, it's not romance, it's risk management. If the U.S. keeps slapping tariffs and rewriting rules, partners diversify. Reliability is an economic asset; squander it, and trade flows and influence quietly move elsewhere.

He’s a fucking psychopath. His holiday gift to America is uncertainty, starvation, death, degraded services, higher prices, and free passes for pedophiles and other corrupted trash. No president in either party could have gotten away with so much. I long for the first post-djt day. Happy holidays! 😣

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

There’s an econ problem and a trust problem. When a president finally addresses affordability and insists “It's gone away, prices are falling” while your rent and groceries say otherwise, the message you hear is: you’re wrong, or invisible, or you're being ignored. That’s rocket fuel for anger.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.
