American nurses leave U.S. for new lives on Vancouver Island A group of nurses who only a few months ago lived thousands of kilometres apart in the United States are now working side-by-side on Vancouver Island after leaving their lives south of the border behi...

A new US nurse who’s relocated here to Vancouver Island got all confused about cash at a store.

Asked where she was from, said USA.

Asked if she was one of the new American nurses in town, she said yes, and all the people nearby started clapping for her. 🥹

We can’t take everyone from the States. But we should make a concerted effort to provide refugee status to trans people from the USA.

What’s happening to them there is a hate crime.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

I don't believe US democracy and standing in the community of nations gets restored without the Trump pardons being nullified in some form. The Constitution has already been breached, so expecting restoration to not push the boundaries is unrealistic.

A couple of weeks back I was walking home from the pub and a cybertruck was stopped at the intersection as I crossed. I was feeling pretty good and just started laughing as I looked at the car while crossing. The woman in the passenger seat seemed upset. I think this is the way.

Opinion | Trump’s mini-me ambassadors are insulting and alienating U.S. allies Save the undiplomatic diplomats. The president does enough damage to America’s reputation all by himself.

Sounding as if he were an imperial envoy, the US ambassador to Belgium lectured the country in imitation of his boss: “YOU MUST DROP THE RIDICULOUS AND ANTI SEMITIC ‘PROSECUTION’ NOW OF THE 3 JEWISH RELIGIOUS FIGURES (MOHELS) IN ANTWERP!” wapo.st/3OQYwu8

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Neither does Putin, but getting local separatists riled up is how he justifies his wars of territorial expansion. Same strategy.

Established RW outlets like Fox "News" also participate in undermining science driven policies at scale, it was definitely one of their propaganda goals during covid lockdowns, and propaganda works.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

At the risk of repeating myself, they don't actually care about Americans any more than Iranians, they don't think of us as people they have an obligation to. We're just chaff to be ground up as they scheme to get richer and seize power and kill their enemies. Like peasants to tsars.

The Christian nationalist thing isn't really surprising, that "wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" quote is well known. What I find really surprising is how many folks who made such a big deal about the oaths they swore to defend the Constitution were just putting on a show.

(Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.
