the mfs with control of the world's finances and resources are at Davos comparing right now to the 1920s. just watched a panel where Larry Fink compared the current moment to 1929; he even had to catch himself and paused when he realized he did it.

The best and most surprising part of Carney's speech is that he didn't pretend there was a "rules-based international order" until Trump came and ended it. He admitted the claim was always a fraud, but that the EU, UK and Canada affirmed the lie because it benefited them.
WOW!!! Never thought we would hear this level of honesty from a Western leader, and certainly not Canada, given the direction of Canada in the past 25 years. Canada's shift towards multialignment is quite clear - and this level of honesty from Carney on Western "fiction" about

Trump's new exec order ties homelessness to crime&drug use, allows for forced institutionalization of unhoused as mentally ill, withdraws funding from states who do not have "anti-camping/loitering" laws. Will ICE get orders to round up the unhoused next? https://t.co/Hxy5EeCBij

Take the words of these people who have all of a sudden found their voice about a rigged international order with a pinch of salt. They are only speaking out this way because they are on the chopping block and Trump is unleashing on them.

Why isnt anybody talking about this? All the weather ppl on the TL are calling it catastrophic 😭
It's not out of the realm of possibility that many of you in this "CRIPPLING" area see ICE ACCRETION over 1". In a storm like this, FREEZING RAIN of that magnitude is a disaster. This could be where some of the biggest impacts lie simply because of extended power loss with very

We talk about "oh why do so many people not vote" ok well maybe it's because politicians will post something like this and then go and support increased ICE funding a week later. Like maybe these 2 things are connected somehow I dunno

Everyone praising Mark Carney’s speech as “bold,” “brave,” or “eloquent,” and treating it as evidence that the West can still rescue itself, is still misunderstanding the nature of the crisis. The “rules-based international order” didn’t erode gradually or mysteriously; it

Carney’s speech summary : We the western nations screwed over other nations and lied for decades. Now Trump is screwing us over. It is unfair. I am so sad.

He called the election 4 hours before it was called. NOBODY has ever won all swing states! Trump brags about it all the time. This is why. What can we do?
