With reports that Canadians critical of Trump online being detained in the US or denied entry, I want to say fuck the NSA, fuck Trump, and fuck the American government. This is a list I am proud to be on. I don't want to visit such a shithole anyways.
Judge allows Trump administration to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil over pro-Palestine activism https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/mahmoud-khalil-deportation-hearing-update-trump-b2730589.html
America is dead. "The Constitution" is meaningless, and the rule of law is once again nothing more than a pipe dream. #uspoli #uspolitics #trump #fascism #mahmoudkhalil
'Let’s not forget that Canada is under economic attack (and threat of annexation) from the United States right now. So this is definitely not the time to be entering into renegotiation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (USMCA) of 2020. Yet, both leaders of the federal Liberal Party and the Conservative Party are promising to do so'
'... just ask yourself one simple question: How can we trust a Trump Administration to honour a new CUSMA 2.0 when he has so flagrantly violated the original trilateral pact?'
The US is now deporting people not for being criminals — but for having pro-Palestine, anti-genocide opinions.
This is what's known as political persecution boys and girls.

@stephanie With a new pratfall every few hours, I sometimes worry if they're being crafty (or maybe less-visible members of their cadre are) and are slipping a dozen other terrible things past while the media is occupied with their latest rake in the face.
“When Trump announced his tariff ‘pause’, it wasn’t a victory lap. It was a concession. Carney moved markets without firing a shot. He gave Canada a seat at the power table and proved that global respect isn’t won with bluster — it’s earned with moves that hit where it hurts. Trump talks tough. Carney plays chess. And right now, the board’s his.”

The MAHA movement claims to want to “make America healthy again”… and RFK Jr says he will end the chronic disease epidemic.
Yet we’ve seen no plans to improve the health or life of the chronically ill, and many plans that will end our lives faster.
Anti vaccine sentiment. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Mask bans. Increase in the use of the R slur and various ableist attitudes.
Today Trump announced a tariff on pharmaceuticals, which will devastate the disability community.
We already live below the poverty line, often on a fixed income that barely covers the essentials. We can’t withstand economic uncertainty and supply chain disruptions as well as our non disabled peers.
This is another step in escalating eugenics. The Nazis targeted disabled people too… because they knew no one would stand up for us.
Please fight for us. Wear a mask. Call your elected officials. Reach out a hand in support.
Don’t leave anyone behind.
Jeez this tariff mess changes literally by the hour. Business and trade needs predictability – how can anyone plan anything like this?
Not even the smallest biz knows from one day to the next what charges to expect on incoming or outgoing goods. The simplest shipment rendered unpredictable.
And all motivated by ego – who they can get to beg. Like twelve year olds (and not even bright ones) running their country.

That Flint appearance is an indelible face to face betrayal of the American people
Such a disappointment
We need to push the Democrat politicians we vote for harder than we push the Republicans we vote against
If Democrats had had hundreds of thousands of people protesting during the Obama and Biden administrations we would’ve got a lot more done

If wages in the States drop to the level where they compete with Asian labour, than the numbers might work for manufacturing to return to a devastated pre-industrial USA
Gilead is no longer a fiction, it is real, and it was foretold by Canadians.

I can't believe we're this far into the US trade war and I still see media stories suggesting that tariffed countries are "paying", and in the literal sense.
If the media is this confused about something so simple, I don't know what hope there is for ever having any kind of substantive public discourse.
