🧵 A thread on why "We must fight the information war on Xitter" does not make any sense anymore.

In this thread I will lay out all the many reasons the battlefield is impossible to win. Not because of us, but because of how Xitter works now. How's its designed to fuck us all over.

Good to know my vile Premier here in Alberta thinks Carney is speaking Trump’s “love language.”

Maybe they’ll all have a threesome where they oil themselves down with some good old Alberta bitumen.

Of course, this will not stop Smith’s extortion of the rest of Canada.

Lutnick, sources said, also suggested the White House has taken the position of “America first, Canada second” and "there’s nothing Canada can do about it".

The hell there isn't. Lutnick and his gang of MAGA thugs are doing a great job of ensuring there is *zero* goodwill from Canadians.

He praised trump there and claims he understands why he was elected. Apparently, to him, Trump is shrewd genius deserving of the role of President. I believe trump is shrewd and immoral and undeserving of the job. I hadn’t realized I was this far out of alignment with Carney. Sigh.😔

After years of brutal war, 2025 has brought a renewed sense of possibility for Ukraine and its supporters.
