Trump/DOGE/MAGA have already caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of non-Americans via immolation of USAID. Now (poor) American children will get the same fate, while the billionaires ensure *their* kids get proper preventative care. Everything about MAGA is just appalling.

Trump: "Iran has to surrender to us and close it's nuclear program!" Iran: "Our strategy now is to just wait for Trump to literally die and then we'll negotiate with the next guy" 😂
Antifascist MilitantIran is done talking until trump is gone. Which means if we want lower gas prices we should hand trump over to Iran immediately

"Trump ready to drop Iran nuclear deal push if Tehran reopens Hormuz: Report" www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/d... The entire world is laughing at you, America. Like...literally all of us. But especially Xi and Putin.
Europeans, and other US allies, all waking up to the threat America now represents. I'm not sure this damage can ever be repaired. Most Americans don't know or care. Oh well 🤷♂️
Yet again, if our adversaries had actually installed a puppet president they couldn’t have done better. The U.S. Is Burning Through Weapons in Iran. Russia and China Are Taking Note. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/08/u...
Canadians low key harassing Russian diplomats with constant pro-Ukraine messaging brings a tear of pride to my eye 🥲 🇺🇦🤝🇨🇦 #SlavaUkraini
WarTranslated (Dmitri)A Russian embassy worker in Canada is forced to spend his days popping Ukrainian flag balloons that mysteriously keep appearing outside. Investigative journalist Christo Grozev says it's 34-year-old diplomat Ivan Danilenkov, who methodically destroys them with a needle.
I'm not generally a Naomi Klein fan, but when she's right she's right, and here...she's hit the nail on the head. The Democrats are outwardly hostile to socialism. They are not "the left".
Naomi KleinSo NYT reports that Third Way will spend $15-million to discredit democratic socialism ahead of the presidential elections. “Their fear: Dr. El-Sayed was paving a path for a progressive to seize the party’s presidential nomination in 2028 — and then go on to lose the general election.” Except...
We're doing alright. Nice work, Canada 🇨🇦 🍻
Justin WolfersSeems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.
Democrats voted to support this. The charitable version is that the Dems are utterly feckless and useless, a la Jeffries and Schumer.
Catherine RampellUpdate on this: This bill just passed the Senate, 86-11. Efforts to strip the sweeping new tariff authorities from the bill failed. Lunacy
That's easy: the GOP is a cult. Full stop. It is a cult. Cults do not challenge the authority of their leader, especially when confronted with reality. THAT is when the cult finds an OUTSIDE party to blame, or selects the least-favoured cult member to throw under under the bus for Dear Leader.
Rep. Richard NealI’ll say it plainly: Americans are seeing prices soar and jobs vanish because of Trump’s tariffs. How can you look at this reality and decide now is the time to give this lawless president more tariff authority?
My position on this is "fine, go ahead, but I'm not buying it and I'll be make sure my local store knows that". Many Canadians will almost certainly start buying US booze again, but many of us won't. We are repulsed at what the US has become under MAGA.
Trump just laying down and taking it from that Big British Channel (BBC).
The BeavertonTrump unable to take on BBC
I don't care what is permitted on shelves. I am completely done buying US booze, probably for life, but certainly as long as MAGA holds sway and America is a force of grift, Christo-fascism, and scientific decline in the world. #BoycottUSA
Oh so that's so weird that the UCP, which AB extractive industries literally own, would engage crookedly with a movement to *checks notes* not allow coal companies to annihilate AB's natural environment for a few more dollars.
Max FawcettIt was already obvious to most of us, but maybe some of the Calgary Herald's readers will finally realize the whole citizens initiative ballot process is just an exercise in manufacturing consent for the policies and priorities the government already has. #abpoli calgaryherald.com/news/braid-c...
There is a real cost in continuing to allow Russian shadow tankers to operate and transit oil to buyers willing to take it.
maikmarahrens⚠️🛢️Oil spill off Oman start to accelerate - now covering ~600sqkm A 4fold increase over just 2 days. And still no salvage operation visible via AIS. Oman may hope currents will save their coastline. Good luck. Lloyd's, btw, lists 35 #shadowfleet tankers under Oman's flag Karma bit.ly/4c2Yh7U
Free tip for Canadian business owners: maybe DON'T host treason-planning events? 🤷♂️ Just a thought.
