Sorry, Canada. Really.
Dear Canadian Friends,
For the better part of two centuries, we have lived peaceably side by side. Our border—the longest undefended in the world—has stood not just as a line on a map, but as a symbol of our shared values: democracy, peace, cooperation, and mutual respect.
It’s in that spirit of friendship that we write to express our deepest regrets and apologies for the recent actions taken by the Trump administration that may have caused offense, strain, or disruption to our longstanding partnership. Whether it’s erratic trade decisions, diplomatic slights, or rhetoric that stokes division, we want you to know: this is not who we are.
Americans are not a monolith. Millions of us are resisting this autocratic tide. We are organizing, protesting, voting, and working every day to uphold the ideals we believe in—ideals that we know are shared with you: equity, justice, compassion, and peace. From grassroots movements to courageous local leadership, there is a fierce and growing resistance here committed to restoring the soul of our democracy.
To our Canadian brothers and sisters: thank you. Thank you for your patience, your continued friendship, and your example. You've shown the world what inclusive, principled leadership can look like. And in this moment of global uncertainty, your steady voice means more than ever.
Let us be clear: this chapter in American politics does not define the future of our country or the relationship we share with yours. Together, as peace-loving people across borders, we will overcome. The bonds of friendship, forged over centuries and sealed in shared sacrifice and common cause, are stronger than the winds of any one administration.
We’re still here. And we’re still with you.
With hope and determination,
Your friends in the United States

Everywhere I turn, a new movement is underfoot. Having declared victory over the evils of discrimination and hatred, institutions around the country are moving on from their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, known more commonly as the apparently pejorative term of “DEI.” For some reason, I had not realized that are long national nightmare of systemic oppression and derisively othering various groups had come to an end. But I sure am glad to learn the news!We did it! Right?! After four centuries of chattel slavery, Jim Crow, and de facto wide-spread discrimination, America’s “Negro Problem” is finally solved. We accommodate our disabled friends fully in all aspects of our common
The last two weeks a radical right wing Supreme Court radically transformed American life in all the wrong ways across a broad array of issues: women's rights, environmental regulations, gun safety, immigrant rights, indigenous rights, housing, public health, and protecting people from police violence. The conservative majority made decisions to take away fundamental rights and in other cases the Court stripped away legislation and regulation that the overwhelming majority of Americans desire and demand. The Supreme Court fed every right wing ideological bent undermining their own legitimacy and with it, the foundations of our democratic republic. Our democracy does not consistently represen
