At the World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump stated that the US doesn't need Canadian energy, vehicles, or lumber, reiterating his threat of imposing tariffs on Canadian imports—potentially up to 25% by February 1.

Trump suggested Canada could avoid tariffs by "becoming a state," sparking gasps in the Davos audience. The threat has caused unease in Canada, which exports 75% of its goods to the US. Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have vowed a "dollar-for-dollar" countermeasure if tariffs are enacted, while pitching Canada as a secure and reliable trading partner.

I updated my blog intro, but in case it isn't clear - this blog stands with Muslims for a future free of antisemitism and islamophobia. In order to make sure this future is possible, we must stand together, and indeed, I want to stand with others as a co-conspirator.

i think by calling the alleged murder of one man good or not terrorism is stupid. terrorist groups are absolutely inhumane and do much more than just kill. they ruin and destroy.

homicide would be a fair charge if mr. mangione is proven guilty but terrorism? oh hell no.

are the american legal courts forgetting how awful terrorism is?

Resonating.

When music and lyrics meet global affairs that affect us all, a powerful message can be created, just like in the good old days.

“Man made virus, watch the millions die.

Biggest profit of their lives.

Here’s inflation that’s your prize.

This is Karmageddon.

Turn on the news & eat their lies.

Kim or Kanye pick a side.

Cancel culture what a vibe.

This is Karmageddon.”

Was just thinking…

Already a shareholder of twitter, they wanted to put him on their board, Elon ‘declined’. Then joined their board.

Elon said he’d buy twitter then tried to ‘back out’. He was ‘made’ to fulfil his initial agreement after a public spectacle. Pattern of attention seeking, media play etc???

He then went on to make twitter an even bigger cesspool for extreme right wingers globally.

A hub for misinformation, disinformation, hate speech and the like.

Utilised it to benefit him and his cohorts.

Billionaires should not exist!

Founder of Twitter & Bluesky Jack Dorsey said that he and Musk are “friends”(source)

Dorsey has often praised Musk whenever the opportunity arises. Such was the case last April when Musk made his offer to acquire Twitter for $44 billion. Dorsey did not hesitate to declare that his billionaire friend was the only one capable of revamping the microblogging website, considered the town square of our time[…]“Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.”(source)

Dorsey did not transact his shares in Twitter, and now holds equity in Musk’s venture.

A man that goes with the money and power, make it make sense.

(source 1) (source 2)

Makes sense that oversight and adherence to regulations he’s ‘in support of’ will be the same for him as his tech competitors. With no protections from his government friends all over the world.

extremely far right and aligning with the likes of maga, afd, brothers of Italy etc

white supremacy touted as ‘preserving culture’ with joint attach on diversity, equality and inclusion alongside his orange ‘friend’

controlling the masses with dangerous AI on social media worldwide, robots in the home and workplace, ai cars and aeronautics and hoping for satellite surveillance

Seeking personal involvement in multiple countries’ governments for personal ideals and personal financial gain

Supposedly the Tony Stark of the real world but in actuality the Evil Villian of the free world

Money, Supremacy & Power

That’s it for him and his ilk, nothing altruistic in the slightest.

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is gearing up to formally withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 20, 2025, the day of his inauguration. This move revives Trump’s 2020 decision, citing WHO's alleged influence by China and failure to adopt critical reforms.

As the WHO’s largest donor, the US contributes 16% of its funding, making this withdrawal a seismic shift in global health efforts and crisis management. The decision would overturn President Joe Biden’s 2021 move to rejoin the organization, a key policy reversal set to reshape international health leadership.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION CONTINUES AGGRESSION ON ITS NEIGHBORS WITH LATEST STRIKES ON DAMASCUS

📹 Scenes from the results of the Israeli occupation forces' (IOF) violence and aggression policies against its neighbors, with the latest strikes targeting several areas of the Syrian capital of Damascus.

According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), a Syrian soldier was killed and three others wounded as a result of an Israeli air attack that took place in the early morning hours of Sunday. The strikes targeted a number of Syrian military sites in the southern region of Damascus.

A military source told SANA News that the aggression was launched from the direction of the Syrian Golan Heights, illegally occupied by the Zionist entity, while Syrian air defenses confronted the occupation's missiles, and despite their numbers, succeeded in shooting down several targeted missiles.

You have been exposed, you terrorist state of Israel.

No matter what crocodile tears you now you use and pay billions to platforms like hulu for your propaganda ads, the world specially the younger generation now knows what you have been doing for years.

It’s the beginning of the end of your decades long atrocities.

Rachel corrie would be so proud of this ( the American activist killed by israeli bulldozer in Palestine years ago)

[dalibansleeperagent]

Oh boy now that Assad has fallen I sure am excited for the Trump Administration to be the ones to steer policy in the middle east I sure am glad we have a steady hand like Donald Trump to make sure that the rebels have a secure state. The American public sure did pick well because the last time Trump was in office there were no new wars! I am sure the Trump admin won't abandon or actively work against them thus destabilizing the region more.

So I can't say I am a very superstitious or spiritual person, but don't you feel like there is a bit of premonition in this one?
