One of the main reasons that *gestures vaguely at everything* is so terrible, is because a lot of the people who are making the big decisions are literally trying to summon the apocalypse.

One of the few things that makes me feel better these days is the knowledge that all these hateful freaks who make up the U.S. fascist movement despise each other nearly as much as we all despise them.

One of the most important things to keep hammering home in Canadian politics is the simple truth that Pierre Poilievre is a bitch-ass loser, who is squatting in a house that we all pay for.

If we're really gonna do 2003 again, can we at least get a new album from The Postal Service?

historians is it good when the robe Nobles are able to buy the positions and honors typically reserved for the sword Nobles?

Today’s arrest of @bradlander.bsky.social is just one disturbing example of what ICE does every single day across the country. It’s not interested in law and order—this is about spreading fear. New York City will not stand for it.

Kudos to @bradlander.bsky.social for keeping the focus where it needs to be: the untold number of people who have been illegally kidnapped by ICE terror squads.

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants. This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

ICE goons are getting way too comfortable kidnapping elected officials. Things are escalating fast. Stuff that would be a scandal last month is commonplace now. That's what accelerationism gets you. One day, ICE will be abolished, and everyone who worked for them will face criminal charges.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Current state of U.S. Fascism: Routine kidnapping of political dissidents by anonymous paramilitary agents.

This is a lesson in speaking truth to power. Tsuu T’ina Minor Chief Steven Crowchild showed Donald Trump how a real leader acts.

The U.S. under Trump is spending billions of dollars to terrorize communities and drive away immigrants who work jobs and pay taxes, while simultaneously cutting taxes for the super wealthy, and gearing up for another war in the middle east. The party of fiscal responsibility, ladies and gentlemen!

If America tolerates the assertion that having suffered brain death is sufficient justification for the State to use your corpse as a breeding pod, then I just don't know what to say anymore. These forced-birth necromancers are truly in a league of their own, evil-wise.

Our Prime Minister really excels at completely humiliating Trump while simultaneously appearing unflappably polite. Black belt level Canadianism.

It cannot be overemphasized how much transphobia is the tip of the spear for the modern fascist movement, and one of their key sacraments. Hatred of trans people is the glue that holds all these sick fucks together, and therefore protecting and supporting trans people is the key to defeating them.

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

The essence of Fascism is: "There is no truth but Our Truth." Our enemy does not live in any kind of objective or measurable reality. Words are just weapons, and have no connection to facts. They will say anything. It's impossible to argue or negotiate with them, because they lie pathologically.

I think one of the most important things that Canada can do right now is get rid of the so-called "Safe Third Country" agreement, and create a streamlined process for asylum seekers and political refugees from the U.S. Otherwise, we're just leaving our neighbours trapped in a burning building.

Any time there is an act of far-Right terrorism (which is pretty often!) we go through this whole rigamarole where fascist influencers and aligned media try to muddy the waters by insisting that the shooter was actually from the Left, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It's exhausting.

I expect that Trump is going to come into these meetings seething with rage and narcissistic injury after his hilarious birthday parade humiliation, so it will be interesting to see how he tries to derail the proceedings. I expect many tantrums.

Starting a petition to officially name the current anti-ICE mass protests as "The Second Pig War".

The parade Trump wanted for his birthday, versus the parade that he got.

I hope that Trump is so depressed after his humiliating birthday parade flop that he cancels his trip to the G7 and spends the whole week gently weeping into a cheeseburger.

Fascism is a Paper Tiger. It relies on the *perception* of strength, asymetric violence, and stochastic terrorism, but it is weak, weak, weak. Never forget that we outnumber them.

Inside all of us are two robot dogs.

Everything is still pretty fucked, but we should all take a moment to celebrate the fact that Trump really thought his little toy solider parade would make him happy, and hoooo-boy did it not pan out that way.

Current state of U.S. Fascism: Targeted political assassinations.

One of the greatest, most disturbing quotes I've seen in a long time www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

“US Regime Deploys Troops, Arrests Citizens, and Detains Opposition Amid Mass Pro-Democracy Protests” What if we wrote about events in Trump’s America in the way that Western media describe African and Middle Eastern countries? Brilliant stuff, from @premthakker.bsky.social

Ranked choice voting can turn politics from a zero-sum, winner-takes-all battle, to a completely different thing, where mutual respect and collaboration are actually possible. Great to see.

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

I just spat out my coffee

New in PN: We've reached the indicting the opposition stage of fascism "The charges against McIver are thin, to say the least. And none of this can be separated from the intensifying chaos around us, as ICE thugs rampage in the streets and Republicans target Democratic politicians."
