[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Canada celebrates its 155th birthday today, but the story of the Indigenous goes back much, much farther.
A brief historic 🧵

As early as 50,000 years ago, the Wisconsin glaciation caused sea levels to fall & people moved across the Bering Strait land bridge.

Lu Jing was arrested for trespassing at Mar-A-Lago.

Yujing Zhang passed herself off as a relative of a resort member and was able to enter Mar-A-Lago.

Inna Yashchyshyn aka Anna de Rothschild posed as an heiress to gain access to Mar-A-Lago, Trump, and members of his inner circle.

So apparently it’s not that difficult to gain access to Trump's chandelier resort, but he’s out here showing everyone and their mother top-secret documents.

Republicans are ready to send him back to the White House after he put all of our lives at risk.

Republicans want a tighter grip on uteruses than National Security. #FreshWords

Billionaires should pay taxes on all their income. Their wealth is only possible because of taxpayer-funded public investments in infrastructure, education, research, medicine, law enforcement, transportation, defense, & more. They can pay their fair share, like the rest of us.

[Michael Okuda @MikeOkuda]

If you worked very, very hard and earned $5,000 a day, and worked every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, never spending a dime, you’d still be less than halfway to being a billionaire. Nobody "earns" a billion dollars.

@VolodyaTretyak Ukraine played the long game. they've been quietly offering good money online for Russian tank parts, especially electronics. underpaid Russians in charge of overseeing mothballed tanks cashed in, and when the war started Russia found out that most of their tanks were inoperable.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Speaker McCarthy and MAGA House Republicans just voted to repeal President Biden’s clean energy manufacturing tax credits.

The majority of those investments have been in Republican districts.

They voted to kick new factories and thousands of jobs out of their own districts.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Members of the Supreme Court:
‼️Accepted payments from billionaires and special interests
‼️who had business before the court
‼️and kept that info from the public
‼️now they are refusing to comply with a Congressional inquiry about it

The Court is de-legitimizing *themselves.*

Dude and his date both drive to Texas restaurant. A 'parking attendant' charges them $20 each to park. Dude pays for both. Finds out in restaurant he got scammed. Goes back out, shoots and kills the parking guy. Returns to his date. Two days later she turns him in. Texas.

A big “fuck you” to those who gave their lives in WWII for “not America”

Another reason to wait on the shoot down: "The surveillance balloon's overflight of US territory was of intelligence value to us. I can't go into more detail but we were able to study and scrutinize the balloon and its equipment, which has been valuable," the official said.

@cap_bit @Tatra9005 @AircraftSpots I think you should research the technology available on aircraft like the F-35. You would be very surprised what they are capable of.

[Ted oflaherty @ted_oflaherty]

@Tatra9005 @AircraftSpots I think the better question is why send a balloon at all when china has satellites. It’s a show of force this was never about gathering information.

[Ted oflaherty @ted_oflaherty]

@MatteoGranata82 @AircraftSpots This balloon was likely being tailed the whole trip by advanced fighters, jamming any uploads. Now that it is over water they need to destroy it because it likely recorded its flight.

[Ted oflaherty @ted_oflaherty]

@Tatra9005 @AircraftSpots I think your underestimating the US jamming abilities. That being said the balloon most likely recorded its flight, hence kaboom.

This is the time of the year when Shell publishes its annual tax contribution report (this time, the 2021 edition) -- showing how **35** employees (yes, thirty five) make every year $500-plus million in tax-free profits in the Bahamas, via a little-known oil trading outfit.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Credit scores didn’t exist until 1989. They’re deeply flawed and designed to keep people in poverty.

They can and should be changed.

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

CEOs got a 26% raise
Ford underspent in healthcare by $859 million
Grocery prices up 120%
And you just got a 2% raise

Former Capitol Police chief Steven Sund’s “shock shifted to agony as he unsuccessfully begged military generals for National Guard reinforcements.”
Holding back the Guard was a premeditated part of the plot, and that story has still not been told.
