Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.

This is mad king shit.

No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.

This is the ultimate result of a hate campaign against the trans community. Depraved violence and murder against our community.

This kid now controls whether your local hospital or clinic gets paid. Many could go insolvent or engage in mass layoffs if payments are significantly delayed.

Fun fact: looking at the “Build Canada” list of "supporters" (aka the rich people who will be writing/supporting its policy proposals)

There are more men named "Michael" than there are women :)

If we count “Mike,” there are double as many Michaels as there are women among its supporters.

I think even the Trump team doesn't even realize how much power Musk is seizing and by the time they realize it, it might be too late. Musk is rapidly consolidating control over the entire federal government.

"Men battering women is my cabinet secretary's job."
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

No, I’m not talking about what’s happening in the United States.

This is right here in Canada.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

We're all collectively in a societal bystander effect as we watch Elon Musk and Trump collapse the United States and no one is doing anything about it. Everyone just expects someone else to do something.

Everyone is that someone now. The only offramp now is physical mass mobilization in DC.

The CDC orders the retraction and pause of all research manuscripts from medical and scientific journals. And current and future studies must go through a current trump admin for approval. This is textbook propaganda and it’s happening right in front of your very eyes.

If you leak information about trans patients to ultra conservative activists you are NOT a whistleblower. You’re a malicious monster

Also how is this not a HIPAA violation and grounds for losing license?

Of course they dropped the case. Trump is in and people like this won’t be help accountable.

not that I don’t agree, but I’ve been hearing “democrats have a plan to help you” forever. But it feels like a carrot dangled to win elections.

Don’t worry about being respectful. Call out racism. Be radical. Make real change. Loudly object. Pointing out how “dems follow rules” got us nowhere
