Born Coloradan, proud Canadian. I don't know wtf is going on below the 49th parallel, but I don't claim it.

Gen X Goth Girl.

I love cats. Like, no, it's probably pathological at this point.

There is no cease fire. The US lost, tucked tail, and ran.

That's all that happened here.

The rare conflict resolution that meets the political objectives that both countries have prioritised. Iran has been obsessed with the Hormuz Strait for decades and it's in their lap. USA has been obsessed with eggs for 2 years and it's in on their face.

I’m not a laws of war expert but it’s my impression that just the threat to commit genocide is a war crime. Threatening to destroy a civilization is a war crime, whether or not you carry through. Not that the sort of people who support Trump care.

My friends/family thought I was unreasonable for cutting people out of my life for voting for him. I think it was the most rational think I have done in my life.

Those of us who have lived through end-stage narcissistic rage know exactly what this looks like.

Trump is a school shooter with nukes and the most powerful military the world has ever known.

Thanks, Trumpers. Thanks for the looming worry of global extinction because of your fucking eggs.

Superb job.

I am incredibly grateful and excited to be a Canadian now. I will never take it for granted. I love my adopted home and I will contribute to its success any way I can.

The Iran Debacle in the Desert is way more likely a catalyst to end this authoritarian regime than the Epstein file ever was. You just can't spin a morass in the Middle East.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

This would be a crime against humanity, but otherwise I agree.

Right now, lying on your US taxes to pay as little as possible and take the chance of getting caught seems a moral imperative.

It seems like the "United States: Fallen Empire" reality show is running into cost overruns and unexpected complications.

Perhaps running a government like a video game was, I dunno, not gonna work out?

In personal news, I passed my Canadian citizenship test. With any luck, I'll be taking my Oath of Citizenship soon and I'll finally be able to call myself a Canadian. β€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦β€οΈ

Grateful today for the bravery of the regular Minnesotans who stood up, pushed back, spoke out, and sacrificed their lives to challenge this fascist takeover. We may look back at their actions as a turning point.

These honorary Canadians are welcome at the fire pit any time.

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now.

I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

The federal government is terrorising communities, brutalising anyone they chose, immigrant or not, breaking its own constitution and killing its own citizens.

It is doing this to distract from their flagrant illegality & corruption, and to protect powerful paedophiles.

The USA is a failed state.
