France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Will Borger@edgarallanbro.bsky.social · last wk.I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.
A parasite? Has this person seem what's in the WH? If there isn't any room for views that are considered mainstream in every other peer nation, I see a pretty grim future for America. They have roving militants killing ppl in the streets, the poor being denied food, healthcare, a murderous....1/2

Truly the most unserious people. It's clownish fear mongering that makes America look stupid, even setting aside that Bolshevism is different than Communism and neither play any part in US politics. Dem centrists are already helping to revive this trope. What a sad sad place.

Shut down the tar sands and seize all the assets and liquidate them to fund a national solar program. Use the excess generated energy to power high speed trains. Have citizens co-own all this making them wealthier and have more free time and purchasing power to fund the economy

This is one of the pernicious myths: the medical, technical, societal advancements that so many take for granted all started from government 'bureaus'. The touch screen, internet, GPS you are using right now started there....before corps then exploited our investments for themselves.

Trump years have been instructive because it's been clear that nobody in the GOP actually hates the inevitably bad things about communism. Secret police, personality cults, gulags, kleptocracy, party loyalty tests, martial law, even central planning. Just the concept of people with less having more.
Connor Ewing@cmewing.bsky.social · 3w agoCompletely—and utterly irresponsibly—unhinged.
The tribe that has spent the last decade dismantling the constitutional republic so as to give all the power to the dumbest with b, most corrupt, cretin in US history wants you now to be afraid of communism......after telling you first to be afraid of women, trans, immigrants, & POC.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 3w agoThis kind of John Birch Society rhetoric used to be the sort of thing most Americans laughed at. Now it’s just standard issue GOP talking points.
His only concern is his personal safety. The SAVE ACT, the gerrymandering, the helps from SC, the legal suits to obtain voter rolls, the constant rehashing of 2020 as 'fraud', is all to protect himself at the expense of the American people and its democracy. True to form, he does it openly.

Albertans insist on nurturing their grievances. Fine. They might want to think a little more about the ones they have with their own provincial governments -- and the scale of damage their decisions have done. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/07/o...
Alberta’s grievances should really be with Alberta
If Albertans insist on playing the blame game, I have a suggestion for who they ought to be targeting: their provincial government.

As long as Trump stays on top, there will always be a new bottom. He's using hate to amp up the worst people in America. He wants bedlam in November and needs an army willing to J6 the nation again. And there is no low too low for someone without a soul.

Canadians often talk up their healthcare over their American neighbours, yet continue to elect politicians who actively undermine it. The Canada Health Act is one of the most valuable things we have.

Two things: MAGA can’t stop blaming everyone who isn’t MAGA for whatever befalls them…even the weather is a lib conspiracy . And two, they can openly defy law enforcement and never fear any violent retribution.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.
All part of their main effort to dismantle anything good in America.
This is the stuff Trump's America is cutting so he can instead spend it on forever wars and self enrichment.
Chise@sailorrooscout.bsky.social · last mo.GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.
As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump
MAGA has allowed some to be the worst version of themselves. This is truly abominable stuff, but likely pretty standard in MAGA circles which should tell you how deep it really goes and how even a Blue Wave isn't a cure.
Tom Joscelyn@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · last mo.Megyn Kelly posted another racist rant. It’s remarkable how openly racist MAGA influencers can be while complaining about “woke” cancel culture.
He's the stupidest war criminal in history. He thinks he's brilliant, call others(mostly black women) 'low IQ' yet he clearly has room temperature IQ. He'd just be a meme fav if he weren't also starting wars, dropping bombs, and filling his pockets.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.It’s incredible how Trump says stuff that makes him seem very dim in every speech (like this talking point) and he never thinks twice about it
I recognize the bar is very high for saying this, but... this is the most absurd White House press release I've ever seen. All of those linked out words are to stories by major news outlets -- AP, NYT, PBS News, CNN -- debunking Trump's lies about vandals causing the Reflecting Pool mess he caused.
