I am either an introverted extrovert or an extroverted introvert. I read way too much news, but I want my news to be fact-checked.

Mayor Mamdani. A photo of Zohran smiling. Zohran wins

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.

Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.

That is how we win.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.

But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.

The midterms are right around the corner.

So, why are people in Turkey and South Korea, for example, fighting in the streets for democracy and against corruption, and Americans are not?

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand.

They see Canada, and the best of our values.

Happy 60th to our flag. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

How Canada Got Hooked on the U.S. Economy Canada is incredibly reliant on access to U.S. markets. It didn't have to be this way, writes Stephen Maher.

John Turner had the foresight. Mulroney did not. #canada #gsky #buycanadian

Trump is bragging that Canadians think so little of their own birth right that they are begging to join his gangster crew.
Looks like people in Canada aren't buying his bullshit.
The boycott is strong.
Do not spend one cent in America until the tyranny is gone.
Keep it up.

Listening to Trump explain how he plans to have Pete Hegseth occupy Gaza, displace Palestinians into Egypt & Jordan and build a Riviera-like resort playground for rich folk on the shores of the Mediterranean

And thinking about all those who couldn't hold their noses to vote for Kamala Harris πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Yeah, I think this is good advice.

#gsky #tariffs So, I guess we'll see how big Canadian grocery stores react to the tariffs. I mean, they're proven themselves to be very greedy, so how high will prices go on products that aren't from the US?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus Condemns Trump’s Tariffs, Accuses Him of Trying to β€˜Break’ Canada [Video] Canadian MP Charlie Angus is not holding back when it comes to Trump’s latest round of tariffs on Canada.

Donald Trump is threatening Canada with 25% tariffs but only 10% for China.
This isn't about trade. This is a thug trying to shake our nation down.
Canadians will not kiss the ring of the gangster from Mar-a-Lago.

I'm a Canadian in Canada. I will do my best to not buy American. Canada is a very regional country with not a lot of unity. The tiny silver lining is I've never seen Canadian's more united. Guess we'll have to do more trade with Asia and Europe.

Air traffic controller staff shortage at US airports? I will add that to the list of reasons I will not be flying to, through, or over the US for now. Does Canada have the same problem?

I haven't signed up yet. But does your comment mean you like it?

Actually, just block. The lack of privacy and weird accounts following is annoying.

Those are good points. I know a few people that are ditching instagam and switching to pixelfed. We'll see. It will all be fine!😬

yes, I'm noticing that for local connection it's not so good, so far.

Thank you! I will have to look into all of that. I was never into Twitter, and this is a lot like Twitter to me. I hate FB enough to try to get used to and like this very different format. But I unfortunately don't hate FB enough to completely leave it.

So, is Mastodon better? Is bluesky going to end up being just as problematic as Twitter and Facebook? No privacy, bots, and profit-driven...so eventually ads? I was excited because there are more people here, but I dunno. #gsky

Me too! But I looked at the posts and their views seemed okay. So haven't deleted yet. I'm not sure about the follow culture on here. It seems a lot more open. I'm not sure yet, who's a bot and who isn't yet - if they don't post as their name.

So, I'm figuring out you can't edit your posts, maybe. I see that you are, indeed, replying to my OP....but I can't edit my reply...or maybe I'm just not seeing how to do it.

Yes, I am! Did you reply to my post or is this separate from that? I can't tell! I like your beach painting, btw.
