Watch this. She made me brave. She is fearless. I saw her perform live countless times. Appearances by, and references to, so many other Canadian and international icons make it relevant for all. Oh Canada. Oh Carole. Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions gem.cbc.ca/antidiva-the-caro…

Trump engaged in a thoughtful, extended conversation with—nothingness. He suddenly stopped, waved, saluted, offered greetings, and chatted for a bit with the empty space. 😁🤭 The cameraman deliberately zoomed out to show that there was absolutely no one to be seen for hundreds of meters in any direction. Apparently, Trump received a visit from the very same "invisible person"—the kind of encounter he had previously mocked Joe Biden for supposedly having. t.me/MirovichMedia/15645

All of Donald Trump's HATE of Canada and Mexico and look who shows up when our country is burning to help us?
Canada and Mexico sent water dropping aircraft to help fight fires raging in California. Our bordering friends coming to our rescue despite Trump’s attempt to vilify them. Thank you Canada and Mexico. 🇨🇦🇲🇽

Abdul El-Sayed: “My name is not the reason you can’t afford your gas or groceries or to go see a doctor. Their war in Iran is the reason why. Their insane tariffs on Canada is the reason why. If you’re picking a fight with Canada, you’re the asshole.”

Every time he makes stupid remarks about Canada becoming a state, I and millions more become more determined than ever to never buy a U.S. product again, if another is available.
Trump: Canada will become the 51st state. Just like Greenland.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

If an incident like Wainwright had happened on any US base, anywhere in the world, Canada would've been the first to offer condolences & assistance. Meanwhile, Trump spent yesterday insulting & berating Canadians. Just like the wildfires. No surprise there. We will remember this.

I understand not liking the Canadian system, or not wanting a Canadian-type system in the States. That's understandable. That's not what he said. He is talking about dismantling something in a country over which he is not the President and will never be the President. He's talking about what we should be allowing Canada - a country, not a state, not a territory, not anything the United States holds any control over - to have. He's speaking as if he has any say over Canada, or even knows what the hell is he talking about. In doing so, he is systematically eroding a generations-long close alliance. Leave Canada alone. Let them be our sovereign neighbor. Build a trade agreement with them. Stop the trolling. It's not helping anyone.
Canada will be a state. Private Healthcare is better anyways.

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

AMAZING! Republican election officials denied NC A&T campus an early-voting site. Students marched about 45 minutes each way to vote ANYWAY! Put up barriers to voting, and don’t be surprised when people get angry, get organized, and bring even MORE voters to the polls!
