It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

May be a Twitter screenshot of text that says 'Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump States, he If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a "Drop Off Port" for China to send goods and products into the United is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life. If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A. Thank you attention to this matter! for your President DJT'

RE: mastodon.social/@justinlachanc

This is completely nuts:

Not being able to take Greenland, US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent now thinks the US should go after the Canadian province of Alberta, 6.6 percent of Canada’s territory, which should belong to the US.

This US regime is an enemy of the democratic world.

Chairman of the Danish Defence Committee, Rasmus Jarlov, on Facebook after three weeks of intense presence in US media:

——
It's not over. […] But it's probably over with Trump puffing himself up […]
I've been holding back my emotions for three weeks. […] When I drove home in the car today, I relaxed a bit, and then I could feel the anger rising in me. I think many Danes and Greenlanders share it.
Our relationship with the US will never be the same again.

Are we paying attention yet, America?

Screenshot of an X.com post by Gavin Newsom (@GavinN…) with text: “Censoring books. Rewriting history. Attacking independent institutions. Using military force against American citizens. This is what authoritarianism looks like. Wake up.” Below is a video thumbnail of Newsom speaking at the World Economic Forum with a blue WEF backdrop.

“I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention…”
— JD Vance on why he amplified false claims about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Acyn (@Acyn) quoting an exchange: Vance says a group isn’t targeting people based on skin color; a reporter cites a police chief saying off-duty officers who are people of color were targeted and asked for papers; Vance says it’s a concern and they need to find out if it happened. Below is a video thumbnail of JD Vance speaking at a press podium; a CNN-style “BREAKING NEWS” lower-third references a debate over entering homes without a judge’s warrant.

Disgraced Winnipeg police officer sentenced to 7 years in prison | CBC News

Although the other cops were charged, this report makes it clear that others were complicit.

They bought drugs from him and kept quiet.

> Former Winnipeg police officer Elston Bostock was sentenced on Friday, after pleading guilty to a long list of crimes that include selling drugs to friends and other officers and corruption offences.

"but but but...Stalin!" fyi Stalin was a nationalist who massacred workers, persecuted Jews, oppressed women, criminalized homosexuality, made a society based on fear with special privileges for a few bureaucrats, and a bunch of other reactionary bullshit, so i don't know what makes you think he was a leftist but please don't come in my replies citing Stalin as an example of harms perpetrated by the left wing, because I don't want to hear it. you can make better arguments than that. ok thanks.

me: ok I've complained enough about this, it's time to put it to rest 

me five minutes later: actually you know what-
