This might be one of the most consequential actions of the world breakup with the US, literally means dumping the $US as a reserve currency - plus EU/UK quickly moving to non-US based or owned cloud, comms and office computer services
Vegas taking a 27% cut by valuing the Canadian dollar at par is giving me the giggles - this is bordering on one of the most successful boycotts in history - FAFO you fucking US fascists - we are NEVER coming back

In this case, the far left ended up catching a few
well-deserved bullets for their miscalculation

This is some bent public health shitocracy - we've gone from Alberta charging over $100 for Covid shots unless you are in very limited groups, to now you must book BOTH your flu and Covid shots for NEXT YEAR by December 15th or you are SOL
It's Public Death
And we still don't have a Federal Public Health officer appointed to fight this since Tam stepped down in June
A screenshot of an X.com post by @MarcoFo
..., Marco Foster, posted 14 hours ago, quoting JB Pritzker: "Stephen Miller clearly is the one pushing the tactics at DHS, at CBP, at ICE. He's the person aiming to have Donald Trump become an authoritarian leader. Stephen Miller is bad for the country and he is abusing the fact that Donald Trump has diminished capacity." The post includes a video still from The Bulwark showing a man in a gray suit speaking into a Shure microphone, with an American flag and the Illinois state flag in the background.
If you are planning a conference where you expect international participation, you would have to be crazy to hold the event in the United States. A provision in the massive new Trump/Republican law is designed to deter people of integrity from visiting the U.S.
Dear Mark Carney - in the light of Trump's new tariff letter threatening 35% on basically everything, tell him to fuck off and bring back the digital service tax
Be like Brazil, stand up to the orange asshole - appeasement doesn't work, cut off the potash and watch US farmers freak out
With so called center lefts like Keir Starmer in the UK doing an Enoch Powell on migrants, and Newsom outlawing homeless - the GOP can happily stay fascist and watch the opposition come to them

Germany just gave its spy agency new
powers to surveil the opposition. That’s not
democracy—it’s tyranny in disguise.
What is truly extremist is not the popular
AfD—which took second in the recent
election—but rather the establishment’s
deadly open border immigration policies
that the AfD opposes.
Germany should reverse course.

This is democracy. This decision is the result
of a thorough & independent investigation to
protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is
independent courts that will have the final
say. We have learnt from our history that
rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.

meanwhile in BC a toddler waits over 14 hours for care in an urban ER, betting the response from Island Health will be 'at least it was still open' while they do shit all to address the problem
Meanwhile the Covid addled neo-fascists want to ban masks because obviously anyone trying to protect themselves, their family and community by wearing one is about to commit a major crime
A health insurance CEO gets basically assassinated in New York - and it sparks the biggest SoMe explosion on the state of health care in the US, the AI fucked up refusals, the time limits on anesthesia, the fact the US spends more per capita than any other country, and has one of the worst outcomes
Yet the media is all about CEOs freaking out and hiring security
Maybe don't sell a product that people require, you end up denying anyway, and leave families in huge debt
Seeing too many posts from obviously Covid-safe people shifting the responsibility of precautions from Government mandates to blaming others for not protecting themselves
STOP IT RIGHT NOW
This is a deliberately low information void - media are not covering waste water levels, governments are not making announcements, and people cannot mask all the time - their kids get it at school over lunch, bring it home is an often cited example
Adam Peaty tests Covid positive, likely affected his heats and finals, and the fucking International Olympic Committee let him continue competing, run around the village and Paris unmasked, likely being a singular super spreader - it's bloody unfair to the other athletes and staff
would they do that with Measles, with Hanta, with Ebola? All those have a lower infection rate than Covid
As a trans woman, anarchist, and person who studies fascism I am often perplexed by the center-left media figure genre of post where you folks log onto twitter and are totally aghast that the right is just openly fascist and admitting they hate women they can't turn into sex objects, believe minorities are the cause of all their problems, and are openly advocating for violence towards their political enemies, which amounts to anyone who isn't a cracker fascist or bootlicker for such.
As a Canadian looking in to the shit hole of the USA, and unfortunately probably knowing more about the US Constitution and role of government than most Americans -the recent SCOTUS rulings are in fact a coup against the separation of powers - they only give a President immunity to what 'they' will allow, and that will be arbitrary and pernicious depending on their warped sense of loyalty and power
This is exactly what the Nazi Party did when Hitler became Chancellor - own the courts
