My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends— It gives a lovely light! - Edna St. Vincent Millay
Outstanding cartoon yet again. So succinct and refelcts the reality of the situation.
Ann Telnaes@anntelnaes.bsky.social · 3d agohahahahahahahahahaha AG Todd Blanche: "This narrative...that the president is going to pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is completely a false narrative, not true, will not happen, and hasn't happened"
Not sure what rock they found this queen under- but enough Canada- just hit them where it hurts.
The thing about ICE is, the job is temporary but the shame is permanent
Worthwhile read from @thcarter123.bsky.social highlighting the quiet yet profound influence of Leonard Leo over the years which has functioned as a more discreet foil to the theatrical evangelical approach.
Tom Carter@thcarter123.bsky.social · last wk.The president of the united states of america is the most yellow bellied coward EVER. Literally EVER.
Seize the equipment and expel all of those involved. This is an attack on Greenland’s sovereignty. Respond accordingly.
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump's invasion of Greenland. US oil company preparing to sink wells despite not having permission from the local authorities. Greenland may have $1tn of crude. Trump seeking conflict and takeover. Will Europe capitulate to the madman?

Was an interesting read- yet hard to fathom how quickly things have moved since published @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu
Another US/Israeli (of course with Morocco in on the act as well) destabilization effort. Sanchez must remain strong. Shitler can take his tweets and stuff them.
Coordinated efforts by rightwing interests nationally and internationally to discredit Sanchez and lead to his ouster. Using people as pawns in a larger game like usual.
Europe- you know what to do. Hang FIFA out all the way. This corruption and shakedown must not stand nor be tolerated. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

I miss two interesting thinkers- Gore Vidal and Christopher Hitchens- will even add William F. Buckley Jr. for shits and giggs; there had been a rich history in america where ideas were discussed…. Now- none to be found. americans only talk about things.
Apologies for the edit (due to time restriction). @pissedmagistus.bsky.social NAILS this regarding data centers 100%
Can save you the trouble @mark-carney.bsky.social. ANY agreement with the US regime is 💯 not worth the paper it is printed on. We all know this. Go through the machinations- but we all know what is up.
Between Peter Navarro and Jamieson Greer- simply with these two abject morons- let CUSMA die. Just let it die. Greer’s comments on Canadian dairy alone are disqualifying- I am SHOCKED he is even able to remember how to breathe. Navarro is a criminal- enough said.
Given that the US has only terrible options in Iran (ground invasion or nuclear) should they opt for the latter- it will cement their reputation as the axis of Epstein and absolute global pariah.
This will be rich. (And by rich I mean a threat to the world at large)
Argentina really put on display to the world how trashy they are. Zero class, total punks, and fascists. Spain rose above it all and played the tournament beautifully. The pride that people can take in their team is priceless.
@sheilove.bsky.social is always on point- but her breakdown of Watters comments I couldn’t possibly agree with more…
