What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

www.themirror.com/news/us-news... The governor of Florida reminded Floridians that they have the "right" to "hit" protesters with their cars if they feel unsafe. "You don't have to sit there and just be a sitting duck."...

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

Man, the Winnipeg Free Pres with another bang on editorial.

America is now at the stage of using force on elected officials after passing the stage of arresting judges. A fascist regime on track to being a Nazi regime. Will Trump’s “parade” tanks actually leave the capital once the parade is over? Or do the regime’s ghouls have other plans? #RIPAmerica

A US Senator forcibly removed from a press conference, 3 cops put him on the ground, man handled him and handcuffed him behind his back. This is a police state. #SenatorPadilla

I always assumed a 2 Litre container would contain 2 Litres of product. I never noticed it until I thought the brand new Oasis juice was half full this morning. Shrinkflation?

"Trump is the gangster. We must keep the boycott strong. We must support American citizens fighting the rise of fascism in their country. We must remain true. North. Strong. Free" #ElbowsUp #StandUpForCanada #StandUpForDemocracy #WeTheNorth #F*ckThatGangsterTrump

Post Mulroney, the Conservative brand is “loser.” It’s time for an overhaul. #Canada 🇨🇦

Why do we elect people who harm our communities? Because we’re misled by misinformation — and denied the tools to think critically. Conservatives exploit that. That’s why they want to defund the CBC. CBC exposes lies and empowers truth. Don’t trade your freedom for spin. Defend the CBC.

How does one become so cruel, racist and full of bile? I’m sure there were signs. Now cruelty and lack of empathy are celebrated by those who seek power. Cruelty comes from weakness. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. #uspoli #politicalcartoon #stephenmiller #cruelty #weakness #racist

Did not even know of their existence until #BuyCanadian kicked into gear & I started seeing posts on here about Hawkins Cheezies. I was curious, actively looked for them & then found some at my local Pharmaprix. Bought the 8 snack-sized bags option and damn, #Hawkins, I am hooked. ⬇️ 🧡😋⬇️

Trump calls for jailing people who burn the U.S. flag anntelnaes.substack.com/p/the-one-wh... (100k subscribers on @bsky.app! Thank you everyone)

Former Member of Parliament who was recently fired from his job and still wastes taxpayers' money calls on elected MPs to be fired for wasting taxpayers' money. #cdnpoli

Every time Poilievre appears in the H of C foyer he diminishes himself. It reminds Canadians he lost, it also displays a tone deaf visual that undermines the integrity of Parliament, he appears a small interloper. No wonder his numbers are tanking post election. #cdnpoli

Brian Wilson has gone to the angels. A brilliant, beautiful, tortured talent who changed everything. Thank you for the beautiful music Brian. God only knows how you brought it all together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCYw...

🇨🇦CPAC Prime Time Politics interviewed former MP, Charlie Angus, regarding his speech earlier today, and Trump’s attendance at the G7 coming up in Alberta. 💪🏻🇨🇦💕 @charlieangus104.bsky.social @cpac.ca #G7 #CanadaSky #CanadaStrong #CanadaPride #protestTrump #elbowsup youtu.be/0S9gWHxtfWI?...

The #TerryMoran tweet that got him fired, told no lies. It was a truthful assessment of the facts and is as #1A as it gets. #ABCNews has solidified itself as capitulating to a fascist regime. It joins #CNN as deserving of mass tanking viewership. Corporate media must pay a price for its complicity.

Canada better step up its messaging around vaccine safety.

Wonderful job, @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social, reporting the Piikani Nation prayer offering on Crowsnest Lake. Nice to see Harley Bastien speak, as always! www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/vide... 1/2

Brian Wilson, co-founder of The Beach Boys has died at the age of 82. May he rest in peace. 💔 #BrianWilson #RIP #TheBeachBoys #MusicIcon www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

"Well, two Canadian premiers have demonstrated that the strength of their convictions is as shallow as a shot glass." Excellent editorial piece in the Winnipeg Free Press is a must read. ⬇️⬇️ #CanPoli #ElbowsUp #TeamCanada #BuyCanadian #CanadaSky

Let's be clear: this is only happening on the fascist side of the border. Up in Canada, we're doing fine. In fact, many Canadian businesses are reporting higher than usual sales (Green Beaver *doubled* their sales in a month). Americans who support democracy, you're welcome up here.

Conservatives are clowns #cdnpoli

Why? Why is this so hard? #cdnpoli

I’m thoroughly fed up with @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social giving so much coverage to a politician who lost his seat & the PM race, turning up to his “pressers” & reporting on them like their news. CBC has an Audience Engagement line & you can leave a 60 second message. Just saying… 1-866-306-4636

If history is any guide, the best names would be Cost-Overruns and Construction Delays

Our reality is in shambles. This is real life.
