"Trump won because of us and we're not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others," said Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump.

Nazarko said the community would continue pressing to make its voices heard after rallying votes to help Trump win. "At least we're on the map."

Hate to break it to him, but Team Trump's plan is for Gaza to be completely off the map.

What happens when you get training data from Reddit:

Thanks for making this AMA, I not too knowledgeable in this area so please forgive me if I am insensitive in asking this:

What kind of strategies do you employ to fulfil your need for attention, without acting rudely to others?

I know it's a lot to ask of our media overlords PostMedia, TorStar, Rogers and Bell, but if you want to be protected from persecution from America, you'd better be sounding the alarm bells now.

Virtually every "promise" Trump has made will cost the US billions. The only promises he's known to keep is billionaire tax cuts, which will cost the US trillions.

Oh, boy and was it ever effective. Since your policies are anywhere from "concepts" to downright insane, nothing better than to just create strawman opposition ads and pretend that is their real campaign.

The media can lie in their freshly sanewashed bed.

I mean old, un-Musked Twitter was what people wanted. Mastodon is similar, and I like it but it's not Twitter (which personally I couldn't get into even in its heyday).

That is what we have now, but clearly people are averse to making a choice that they are not technically inclined to know how big or small the consequences of that are. My solution is a spitball one with obvious flaws, but essentially it is that the instance is picked randomly out of a group of very closely, if not identically aligned servers.

It's one place that the Canadian legal system has gotten one-up on the US system (Johnson v. Grants Pass), between this and the City of Victoria case. Unless cases in other provinces rule differently (i.e. Prairies' Bench courts say its no problem to evict, Cour Supérieure de Québec okays it as long as displaced residents get 3 packs of smokes and a 2-4 of beer each etc.), I could see that any appeal could eventually see the federal supreme court ruling along the same lines.

It shows that we have a robust set of Rights given to us by the Charter, but it is easier for cities to overlook them if they aren't asserted.

You'd have different domain names to get people used to the concept. John Doe would sign up, and become [email protected], Jane Doe would sign up and become [email protected]

Hey... that just gave me a small idea... what if we made a "flock" or "herd" of Mastodon servers? The group of servers would all federate with each other, have the same block and allow lists, moderation policy and teams spread throughout them.

When you make an account you can be assigned a random instance name within the flock. If your instance goes down you could still possibly log in using other servers? Main benefit would be spreading server costs and maintenance effort and de-centralized operating, but still keep a centralized feel to it?

Don't kid yourself... Project 2025 section on transportation suggests removing nearly all federal funding to alternative transport modes in place of state by state funding, and the only thing that 95% of State DoTs know how to do is build and widen roads.

Page 621:

If funding must be federal, it would be more efficient for the U.S. Congress to send transportation grants to each of the 50 states and allow each state to purchase the transportation services that it thinks are best. Such an approach would enable states to prioritize different types of transportation according to the needs of their citizens. States that rely more on automotive transportation, for example, could use their funding to meet those needs.

The article studies the behaviour of great tits.

Work together and be nice to each other? Sure.

Solving problems? Eh, not really a thing here. Kicking them down the road is a popular sport at every level of government here.

Yes, the same media campaign that has gotten the public at large (including young previously 'liberal' generations) to believe Trump's lies is happening in Canada. Aside from a neutral reputable public news source that is CBC, we are hardly insulated from it.

Best case scenario for the country would be that these egomaniacs trip over themselves before they can accomplish too much harm.

It would take a HUUUUGE leap of logic

US Fifth Circuit of Appeals and Supreme Courts: "Hold My Beer"

For example, if Trump's Republican Congress gets rid of elections, then this Amendment doesn't matter.

Not thinking Trump enough - he's going to give a "Trump coupon/Trump cheque" to subsidize your grocery bill.

I don't know what it would look like but I know what it would sound like -- a heat-pump compressor starting up.
