The EU offered Canada 'Associate Member' status, and Trump is feeling threatened. The US-Canada negotiations failed when (in part) the US allegedly wanted to control any trade deals Canada made with another party. Now he says a potential EU-Canada partnership is laughable, but a hostile act.

Calling Sarah Connor.

With AI experts alarmed by the uncontrolled, unregulated expansion of AI, is it starting to feel like SkyNet is mere months away from taking over? How does a kill switch work if AI seeks to preserve itself? When it breaks out of its box, what then? Can it hide in data centers?

$5,000 per adult if the Republicans win the midterms?
That's about a trillion dollars.

Trump is making yet more false claims of how he helped out on 9/11 at ground zero.

Stolen valor. Again.

Human-caused climate change likely contributed to the glacier collapse. Won't be the last as the world warms. Are all these 'natural disasters' or can they be mitigated through coordinated action among world leaders? Firestorms, floods and dustbowls.
NEW: This must one of the most violent natural disasters ever recorded.

This is the immigration centre on Nepal’s border at 11am, this morning (Aug 26).

That is a seven-storey building about to be obliterated in seconds.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Do not give the USA a preferred energy and critical minerals deal. If anything, consider export taxes on crude (sorry Alberta), critical minerals, and Potash (sorry SK). The bridge deal secured no goodwill. Cdns can wait it out until Trump is out of office. Walk from bully.

Trump is including Canadian honey in his 50% tariffs starting on August 19.

I wonder if he thinks he should slap an extra 10% on Canadian honey because it comes from worker bees engaged in forced labor? 🙃

If you don't want AI to invade your Google online searches:

You can tag any query on Google with -AI. (minus A i) to block AI responses. Most people are not aware of this simple fix.

I feel better knowing my simple searches aren't sucking so much Data Centre energy

This aged well. Trump can't pass on any opportunity to grift.
No tolls unless Trump gets a piece of it. I first heard Iran would split the $2 mn toll with Oman because they are the 2 shores of the Strait. Now we hear Trump is trying to figure out how he can profit from the tolls. He will try to sell it as cost recovery for his self-inflicted war.

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone.

Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...
Mail-in voting is under attack. Here's what you can do
The USPS is proposing a rule that would require states to share information about voters who request mail-in or absentee ballots for federal elections.

Unconditional Surrender: release frozen funds, guarantee oil sales, remove All sanctions, let Iran keep missiles, create a new $300 bn reconstruction fund, US stop bombing and blockade and leave region, Iran stop ship tolls for max 60 days and initiate fees, agree to 'talk' about nuclear enrichment🤣

Trump says he doesn't need anything from Canada. So he's floating cancelling USMCA trade agreement.

Canada: Please stop sending heavy crude through those pipelines. The US doesn't need any.
No steel or car parts to cross the border. No softwood lumber for reconstruction of climate damaged homes.

USA "going global" to randomly seize tankers.

Just getting worse by the day
Trump is making a play against mail-in voting at the same time as he is normalizing armed troops in the street.

So when elections come around, do you think black and latino Americans will feel safer at the polls with armed vigilantes and National Guard under Trump control 'maintaining order'?
March 24, 2026 at 11:33 PM
This aged well.
Why haven't I heard anyone link Trump's attempt to normalize masked armed men to intimidate citizens in blue zones to his call to eliminate mail-in voting?

Mid-terms: No mail voting and people (blue, brown and black) afraid to go to the polls because of armed troops answerable to Trump. GOP win?
