So long Twitter... I have Canadian satellite when I could have StarLink cheaper and I only stayed hoping things would get better. They have not. Off to bluer skies. Fuck Trump and his "pee-ons" fuck Nazi Elon Musk. I am but 1 but at least I have my integrity to keep me warm

I think I FINALLY know why Danielle Smith wants to give this guy tens of millions for his Starlink technology rather than using Canadian solutions.

So, why did $TRUMP choose to start a shitcoin and why on Solana?
Shall we follow the 'MoNeY' to find out if there are any conflicts of interest and misaligned incentives?
🧵
And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.
IMPORTANT!!! If you work for the federal government, set up a Signal account on a personal device THIS WEEKEND and let your reporter contacts know how they can find you there! Also, set up a Protonmail account. Message me for my confidential contact details if you have info.
So, I spent a little time diving into the ownership of the underlying websites promoting these glaringly fake tweets on Canadians' timelines.
Guess where they're registered?
15 House Repubs have proxy voted at least 100 times in the last few years.
But Mike Johnson won't let Dem Rep. Brittany Pettersen to do it.
She's pregnant & too close to her due date to fly to DC.
Force women to give birth, but don't let them vote.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the absolute state of X in January 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation.

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.
The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.
If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you.
There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.

Putin is about to inflict a refugee crisis on Europe. Here’s how to stop it
Giving frozen Russian assets to Ukraine would save Zelensky and send a defiant message to Trump.
Great piece by Baroness Wheatcroft of the UK House of Lords. https://t.co/Q0DxGglP9M
The Kremlin just stole the first round of the Romanian election with an unknown fascist pro-Russian candidate.
RFK may be showing up to... lend his support to all that.
Are you getting the picture?
Trump is now the first incoming president not to sign the federal transition funding agreement.
That means he can raise unlimited amounts from wealthy donors for his presidential transition — and keep their identities secret.
So much for draining the swamp.
Declassified US report confirms former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned by Russian special services in 2004. The report, obtained by Bloomberg after 8 years of FOIA efforts, details Putin’s assassinations of political opponents.
Dear Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation),
My 10-year-old son was identified with a need last year and had to change public schools.
I now bike him 2.2km to school in the mornings and he bikes home alone.
We use the 8-year-old Bloor Street bike lanes which make the roads safe for him to do this.
With the roads full of Amazon delivery vans, speeding Ubers, massive buses, and whizzing food delivery e-bikes my son was nervous to bike alone.
We got him a rear view mirror and bike lights and practiced together a few times.
He uses the Bloor Street bike lanes which are full of many other kids riding to and from school.
You are now proposing to spend $48M in provincial taxpayer money (1) to overrule the wishes of the City of Toronto (2, 3, 4) to rip out these bike lanes, which you know pose a direct safety threat. (5)
If this happens we’ll need to ask his grandfather to pick him up in his car.
I’ll likely start driving him in the morning more since his grandfather's car can’t fit his bike on the way home.
Instead of what we need and want—*more* bike lanes that are proven to ease congestion, traffic, and pollution (6)—you’re proposing I spend more money, use more gas, spew more fumes, get less exercise, and create more car traffic.
In 2017 you spoke about bike lanes on @TVO and said: "You're nervous when there's no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to make sure there's never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders. I felt so much safer when it's separated." (7)
Please reverse course here.
Keep the bike lanes.
It’s not too late.
Thank you,
Neil Pasricha
