@elonmusk I doubt very much the problem is the colour of your skin. Idiots come in all colours.

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black!
We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle.
Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied.
Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?

@implausibleblog The Good News is Carney uses so many big words that Trump has NO IDEA what he's saying.
English
Wow, listen to this from Mark Carney who says the US under President Trump has betrayed Canada,
"Many of our former strengths, which rested on our close ties with the United States, have become our weaknesses now"
"We understood these changes very early on. Other countries are only just now beginning the full scope of these changes"
"And while we have overcome the initial shock of the betrayal, we must never forget the lessons it has taught us"
"We must take care of ourselves"

@disclosetv This man SERIOUSLY doesn't have both oars in the water!

JUST IN - Trump orders the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to "any and all ships trying to enter, or leave." Also instructing the U.S. Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran: "No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas."

I didn’t think I’d ever see a more classy eloquent well spoken world leader than Barack Obama.
Carney might be it.
He makes me proud to be Canadian.

PM Carney: "Virtue is like a muscle, it grows with exercise. When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. And when we are all in for Canada, we will build Canada strong for all."

Wow, Mark Carney speaks on multiculturalism (what a contrast to island of strangers Starmer!)
Mark Carney, "Canada is a nation forged through accommodation, not assimilation"
"Through partnership, not domination"
"The founding insight of our country is that unity does not require uniformity"

@trainofangels00 No. We're not the USA - we have free speech. Visitors can support any political idiocy they like. Just leave their guns at the border.

If an American tourist shows up at the border to visit Canada wearing a MAGA hat, should they be refused entry?

I don’t think Republicans recognize what they’ve done; our allies who have stood by us for ~80 years revile us.
They may never appreciate the gravity of what they’ve done, but this is a paradigm shift. The era of a united west led by the US is dead, and we’re all worse off.

PM Carney says the days of sending 70 cents of every dollar in military spending to the United States are over and gets a standing ovation

Donald Trump is simply incapable of recognizing the historical ties that bind. He's a self centered bitter old man. The mid-terms can't come fast enough..

Artemis II matters because it reminds us what coordinated, science-driven ambition looks like.
With the post-COVID rise of anti-science/anti-intellectualism in the mainstream and the subsequent dismantling of our pillar scientific institutions (NIH, CDC etc)…
We needed this.

For years, Canada sent 70 cents of every defence dollar straight to the United States. Mark Carney just told Parliament that stops now. The room gave him a standing ovation.
It is a striking thing to get a standing ovation for announcing that your country will stop subsidising someone else’s arms industry. But that is where Canada is in 2025.
Carney’s case is blunt: the United States is “beginning to monetize its hegemony, charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contributions to collective security.” 

And MAGA is celebrating. Winning. Always winning. USA, USA. Somewhere a man in a red hat is pumping his fist.
Let me explain what is actually happening, because clearly no one has bothered.
In ten months, the United States has torched eighty years of alliance architecture that its own soldiers, diplomats and taxpayers built from the rubble of the Second World War. Eighty years. Gone. Detonated, with a smile, by people who genuinely believe this is genius.
Canada is not drifting away. Canada is leaving. Europe is not hedging. Europe is building a defence industry specifically designed to cut Washington out. Allies are not quietly grumbling over dinner. They are signing contracts with other people.
And the MAGA faithful are cheering every single step of it, because someone told them this is what dominance looks like.
It is not dominance. It is a man burning down his own house and whooping at the flames. The saddest part is not that America is losing its allies. The saddest part is that half the country thinks that is the point.

3 ways we knew Mein Trumpf did not plan this.
1. There's a woman
2. There's a person of color
3. There's a Canadian

After Charlie Kirk pushed the idea of not trusting Black pilots, imagine how he would've felt seeing a Black man pilot Artemis II into a perfect re-entry and splashdown.

@realCarola2Hope I'm Pagan but I have no problem with REAL Christians. Like Dolly Parton. Like Pope Leo. NOT like Trump.

Pope Leo XIV is not ‘woke’, nor a Marxist, nor a progressive, nor a leftist.
The Pope is simply a Christian.
When he defends the poor and the innocent, he is following the Gospel.
When he denounces injustice, he is imitating Christ.
When he speaks for the poor, he is repeating word for word the Sermon on the Mount.
Those who are angry at him are not fighting with Pope Leo XIV.
They are fighting with Christ.
Because it was Jesus who said: ‘Whatever you did for the least of my brothers, you did for me.’
Rejecting the Pope for being merciful is not something a Christian does.
The problem is not that Leo XIV has strayed from Christ.
The problem is that some have strayed so far from the Gospel that they no longer recognize it when they see it.
