President Bone Spurs has now insulted the veterans of Canada and other Nato countries. Who did they sacrifice for? A new Trump low when we thought no lower was possible. America you should be so embarrassed.

Time to boycott Gardaworld. A quebec company providing security for Alligator Alcatraz and ICE. They are making millions in the US providing armed muscle for fascists.

. . . It is the same precise argument made by Stephen Miller on tv for the US policy. Thucidides then proceeded to narrate the destruction of the Athenian Empire due to their bad judgement and poor leadership skills. The press missed it. Carney did not. Read history.

Carney's reference to thucidides was apt. But it was not an aphorism but a quote. The statement that power is its own justification was used by a powerful faction in atehensvt justify the brutal destruction of the island of Melos . . .

Don't buy from the US.
Don't invest in the US.
Don't visit the US.
Don't make deals with the US.
Above all, don't trust the US.
Ever again.

If, after the letter to Norway, Americans can not see that Trump is a child then it says something profoundly terrifying about Americans.

We must finally and irrevocably learn that trumpets - even Stephen Millar - mean what they say. The fascist inflection point is on us and we must decide and act. Resist!

It’s like ICE stealing that kid’s phone and selling it. No responsibility, no law, just greedy violence. But on a massive scale. As though McKremlin consultants were explaining how to do it.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Hannah Natanson is an exceptional reporter and should never have been subjected to this type of extraordinary intimidation tactic. We have few details now, but it’s hard to interpret this as anything other than an attempt to squash the freedom of the press.

Ambassador Hoekstra says the US does not need Canada. He's probably right. But increasingly, as trump goes more off the rails., the world no longer wants the black hole of chaos that is the US.

All NATO countries (Canada included) should immediately send troops to Greenland to defend it from "Russia ".

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

If the only check on trump is his own "morality" then we are all doomed. Defend Greenland.

If Greenland is lost Canada will be next in line. The line is drawn now. Article 5.

Time for everyone to stand up and support Greenland. Our sovereign neighbor.

The death of Michele Good and the reaction of Trump and Vance makes it clear that this is the end. We must have no further part of your Fascist fantasy. That is your American problem. We must have as little connection as possible to prevent the spread of contagion. We will look elsewhere.
