Congratulations to #MarkCarney! What an answer of #Canada to #Trump. My #forcast: Canada will „join“ the EU, just like #Switzerland and #Norway did using the #BilateralWay… maybe even with #Mexico?! Think about it: this would be the largest #freetradezone in the #world. Remember: The #EU already got a #treaty with #MERCOSUR … ok … it still needs to be #ratified and that will take some more time, but it will come! Message to the #Trump: we don‘t need you!

To whom it may concern, the Equal Rights Amendment has been formally ratified, and is now the law of the land in the United States.

Spread it far and wide, say it loudly and often.

@lolgop Great article & I so agree! Buying Twitter was totally about defeating Biden. Granted Musk was flattered into thinking he could sell Dogecoin to the punters & then have them use that to buy #BlueCheckMarks. He legit thought he’d make money & the investors didn’t care as long as Dem online grassroots infrastructure was destroyed. I’m so glad I left & got #Ratified here in the #Fediverse. Jack’s #BlueSky was just to further fragment those who fled Twitter. #Musk #Biden #USPol #Vote
@drcaberry Please stay. There are gonna be jerks no matter where we go and this place at-least no one, overly funded, asshat, can destroy your connections. There are so many good people I still miss from #Twitter. #Musk #Mastodon I could lend you my #BlueCheckRat I’m training him to bite sm police types. #Ratified
@rhys Yes, #Twitter was obviously purchased to disrupt Dem organizing for 2024. Musk was ego stroked by foreign investors to head it up. He was on board w/ the disruption & giving hate a platform but he genuinely thought he could sell blue checkmarks to the punters who he imagined buying Dogecoin from him to buy blue checkmarks. I saved screenshots of some of his Bitcoin BS plans. Lucky for us being #Ratified with a #BlueCheckRat is free on #Mastodon 😉 #USPol
#Musk
@Adam_Cadmon1 I think his investors knew selling Dogecoin and letting the punters buy Teslas and blue check marks with it, wouldn’t work but suckered Elon by flattering his ego. Once Bitcoin tanked he began tanking the entire site & I think your right they were whispering in his ear about how powerful he was as a way to manipulate the demise of one of the best Dem sharing platforms. I still have my free #BlueCheckRat from when a lot of us got #Ratified on #Twitter #Musk
