The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

This.

I’ve heard quite a few business leaders proudly say they’ve finally realized Trump is a clown - like that’s some brave insight. But Bernie is right: calling him a “clown” makes it all sound like a joke and minimizes what Trump really is: utterly depraved and inhumane. Call him what he really is.

"Do you think it's possible or not that crimes like those committed by the Nazi regime in Germany in the 30s and 40s could happen in the United States?" It's Possible: 52% It's Not Possible: 35% YouGov / April 16, 2025

Please stop talking or writing about moderate Trump, MAGA or GOP supporters. There are no moderate fascists. There is no "third way" to autocracy. There are no mainstream dictators. If you support Trump, vote for his policies, you are an extremist, out of touch with the vast majority of Americans.

I laughed out loud.

I hate headlines like this and articles like this because they have a way of metastasizing what is in fact a nonissue. Western secession is most decidedly not all the rage.

This is beyond sanewashing. Like, what is even happening here? Even by the absolutely miserable standards of the media today, what on earth is this headline? Beyond appalling, @nbcnews.com . This is just vile.

Seems like hardly anyone outside of Bernie and AOC and select democrats have any interest in upholding or defending the constitution

Repost so the rest of Canada knows not all Alberta people want leave Canada…. cultmtl.com/2025/04/larg...

Well isn’t this interesting. Alberta whines and complains about not having pipelines, yet when they get what they want they don’t use them.

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

So true

😂

“Whatever adjectives American progressives might use to describe Democrats—feckless, weak, pathetic—the Canadian Liberals are the opposite. In fact, they may be the most successful left-of-center party on the planet,” Daniel Block writes:

Another one for @senschumer and his fellow brave letter writers

I wish American business leaders were as wise as China’s foreign ministry.

🇨🇦 Canadians will never know how it felt to be an American reading election headlines tonight. We're so traumatized, it was disorienting to comprehend that people did the right thing. You're heroes to us.

For Pierre Poilievre, losing means never having to live in the real world. Poilievre’s inner circle will almost certainly blame Donald Trump for the defeat. His supporters shouldn’t buy it. Trump didn’t beat the Conservatives. Poilievre did. #Opinion

Gee ya think?!

Trump’s appointees often seem to be acting out a made-for-television version of their jobs, @ashleyrparker.bsky.social writes. They “perform near-daily tone poems to a certain type of MAGA masculinity, publicly pantomiming their professional responsibilities.”

"While anyone can repost an article, researching & writing is hard work that requires time & money. Before you deride 'mainstream media,' note that it is *no longer the mainstream.* It is derision that is mainstream & easy, & actual journalism that is edgy & difficulty."-Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

The MAGA regime fails to understand the basics of how a democracy works.

The Just World hypothesis doesn’t necessarily make the world more just…
