If Canada wants to really piss off Trump - they should give trans people from the U.S. refuge status the next time he does something reprehensible that targets Canada.
He’d completely flip out. It would be hilarious.
And good policy.

So Elon is blaming, contra all evidence, “ActBlue” for the anti-Tesla protests.
This is especially chilling in the light of what’s going on with Mahmoud Khalil and other protestors in criminalizing protected activity by saying their acts “align with Hamas” (and are therefore in support of terrorism). By criminalizing ActBlue with nebulous/false claims, they can criminalize any protests against the administration, but more than that, ActBlue is the payment processor for Democratic causes, so contributing to (or having contributed to) Democratic causes is now criminalized.
Bingo, dictatorship.

ActBlue doesn’t fund anything. They just process the donations of people. Millions of people.

He also singled out Jewish people who had been involved with it*, including two people who had been dead for years. Reality doesn’t matter to fascists. The bigger the smear, the more activities can be shut down.
*Edit: Which is to say: they gave money to a Democratic candidate. Anyone who ever used the payment processor to give money to anyone is apparently an “ActBlue funder.”

Today’s idea: 
should stop the daylight saving time entirely, and just fix our clocks on the ½ hour between the two (just like Newfoundland does).
(And I already wrote my MP on the trans refugee issue.)

Well, in recent decades it’s been code for gay rights, and generally with Christians facing consequences for being raging bigots. Sure, that doesn’t make any sense at all within the context of the CDC, it’s totally absurd… but so are the other things on that list, with which it’s completely consistent.

Yep, totally agreed.
Although, in the handmaid’s tale show, the sheltering of American refugees actually caused a right wing backlash against said refugees… It IS the right thing to do, though.

Oh, now they care about things like campaign finance regulations and illegal foreign donations?
(Never mind these accusations are all bullshit, it’s just a real laugh to see this monocle popping over things they have knowingly benefitted from and encouraged on their side for years now.)

One thing that needs clarifying: Malcolm Turnbull hasn’t been a politician of any kind since 2018, seven years ago. He must’ve upset Drumpf about something back in the day, but to most Australians he’s irrelevant.

Ok yeah but hear me out… what if Elno just scapegoats them anyway in order to… y’know… make anything they do “illegal®” so that… ActBlue can’t process a dang thing.
Any excuse’ll do.
Doesn’t have to make actual sense.

“Who cares if there’s just a market gyration” is exactly the kind of privileged statement that someone who’s net worth isn’t mostly defined by their 401(k) plan or employee stock plans would make.
