Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.

Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

Last month, as wildfires raged in Los Angeles, Canada sent firefighters from Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, air tankers for delivering water and fire retardant, and technical experts to fill critical specialized roles.

They had our backs without hesitation. And then, Trump does this.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Trump just confirmed that he will impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on China, effective TOMORROW.

Trump and his billionaire backers can afford higher groceries and prices at the gas pump.

Justin Trudeau is giving a really good speech on the tariff threat.

And basically asking us - American citizens - to stand up against the tariffs.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
