Aggressively, zealously centrist. Authoritarianism and disinformation, in all its forms, can get stuffed. #ElbowsUp and #SlavaUkraini 🇨🇦 🇺🇦
- Reposted by IrrelephantOnce again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
- The victimization of people ICE is capturing and deporting doesn't stop when they leave US custody. Appalling.
- JFC America, deal with this shit
- I had no idea who Tate McRae was before this, and now I will go back to pretending she doesn't exist again.
- The MAGA admin has no intention of forming partnerships. Canadians should proceed accordingly.
- Isn't it so weird how Canadians don't love buying products from countries threatening to annex us? 🤔 Also, if NADA hates it, then I think you can rest assured it is absolutely a good thing for car buyers and a bad thing for the scummy dealership model that has somehow survived in North America.

- Reposted by IrrelephantDonald Trump on the Epstein case: "It’s time we as a country move on" Trump is covering up and withholding millions of files from release while redacting the names of perpetrators. He is mentioned at least 38,000 times in files released so far. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverUp
- This is literally, precisely what Putin did prior to invading Ukraine (again).

- Oh Elon you poor thing. Please tell us more about how things are so hard for the richest man in the world 😓
- Interesting that this happens immediately after French police raid Musk's offices...
- Oh.
- Again, I think this position that "everything will be fine because people will vote anyways" is DANGEROUS. Will 100% of the people who would have voted, also vote with armed ICE thugs leering over them at the booth? I highly doubt that ICE is incapable of skewing a few key districts by 3-5%.

- It's like watching an insect writhe under a magnifying glass in the daylight. Absolutely delightful.
- This is the (correct) response that so many people failed to provide
- Reposted by IrrelephantIf it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies it fucks underage ducks, is mentioned 5000 times in secret documents about fucking underage ducks, is best friends with other underage duck fuckers & holds a competition to find the prettiest underage ducks, it's Donald the Duck Fucker. 🐤🦆
- Reposted by IrrelephantThis is big: France and other European nations are investigating Elon Musk’s X as explained in the post below from the French Foreign Ministry’s rapid response account.
- Reposted by IrrelephantOne by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
- Reposted by Irrelephant1. Noam Chomsky's response to the first tranche of Epstein docs - arrogant, high-handed, obfuscatory and, we now know, dishonest - reminded me of something: his response to my questions about genocide denial, 15 years ago. 🧵 www.monbiot.com/2012/05/21/2...

- Stop telling me they won't/can't steal the election. They're going to do it unless Americans stop them. Not the courts. Not police. Not the army. Certainly not congress. Everyday Americans. Nobody else will bother.

- It is impossible to overstate the importance of this. Canada will now be under constant attack in our information space by our "friend" to the south, both overtly and covertly, for the foreseeable future. Let's be ready for it.
- Donald Trump probably (!) won't order a military attack on Canada. But his administration is happy to interfere in our politics, and we have to respond accordingly: by thickening our informational borders and holding tech companies to account. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/04/o...
- -cellmate released the day before -psych report says he denied wanting to kill himself -blamed a "suicide attempt" on his cellmate attacking him -guards missed two check-ins -cameras down for mins at his death Come on, there is no way this was suicide. His child raping clients had him killed.
- Reposted by IrrelephantThere's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus. Worth remembering when they dismiss the Epstein Files stuff as no big deal.
- this might sound bad. but if you look into the story it's actually much, much worse prospect.org/2022/04/08/h...

- Reposted by IrrelephantImportant info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country: "The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023." Facts matter.
- Reposted by Irrelephantwatching the act of bombarding the media with so many things that would get any previous president not only fired, but jailed, knowing that they won't be able to focus on any of them to create a meaningful enough dialogue to do so, is fascinating and horrifying on a level I wasn't prepared for
- Reposted by IrrelephantI want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.
- The kids are alright 🥲
- This is happening at the individual level, too. All those people moving over to Linux, LibreOffice, and non-US cloud and tech solutions? They are *not* coming back if the US eventually regains its sanity. Lesson has been learned.

- I love checking in on this imports/exports tracker the CBC has been running since Jan 2025. Canada owes a big thank you to it's friends in Europe, the UK, all across Asia, commonwealth, and South America, with whom we have increased our trade significantly.🥰 newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...
- Reposted by IrrelephantTrump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
- Reposted by IrrelephantThe indictment of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed that they had a cache of weapons, entered the Capitol in military formation, and were prepared to harm lawmakers. They were all pardoned and no doubt many of them are now in ICE
