Sam W: So, Trump intends to visit Canada for the G7 meeting.
Here’s the thing, though — Canada has strict rules about felons entering the country. And the Presidency does not protect Trump, as former President Bush was once forced to request special permission to enter Canada over a DUI from years before.
I would desperately love to see Prime Minister Carney and our legal system stand firm and block Trump’s entry unless he applies for special permission.
I desperately want to see him grit his teeth and rage over being treated like the convicted criminal that he is, and have to face the law like every other person in my country.
Please, Canadian government. Don’t let us down. Remind this fucker that we know exactly who he is, and what he’s done.

brendelbored.bsky-social: Someone replied to me bringing up fast food by asking if| knew cooking exists and it’s a joke and totally fine but | want everyone to know that if you’re in a place in life where it’s cheaper to get food that way or if you’ve just worked two shifts, the idea of “cooking” holds no inherent nobility
tkingfisher.com: To reiterate a post from the Other Site, for most of the last four thousand+ years, the vast majority of people living in cities got takeout. Many apartments lacked kitchens due to space and fire risk. Cooking yourself 7 fresh, varied meals a week is a VERY recent expectation.
Communal meals were also standard in a huge number of societies. You are not failing at a normal human task, you are being held to a frankly bizarre new standard. If you eat tortilla chips and salsa while standing over the sink and follow it up with string cheese, you are doing at least as well as an ancient Egyptian laborer, who got flatbread, a beer and an onion every day.

“I am the author of my own story. No matter how difficult life gets I will remember this is just one chapter and I will continue to keep going. I have so much good to do and beautiful places to see. My story isn’t over yet.”
“The Trump admin deported three children this weekend who are legal U.S. citizens from an ICE facility in Louisiana. One of those children was a 2-year-old. Another has metastatic cancer and was deported without their medication. If you’re cheering for US.-born children with cancer being deported, ask yourself how it improves your life.”
AverageSalt_Miner: “There’s something uniquely perverse about cruelty performed by people who will never experience the consequences of their own ideology. Unlike the Somali pirates or the Taliban—groups operating in extreme conditions, driven by survival, ideology, or desperation—the architects of modern American cruelty live in comfort. They do not suffer. They are not struggling for food or security. And yet, they choose cruelty, not as a necessity, but as a luxury.
