A right-wing banker doing right-wing banker shit because it looks left compared to the fascist regime next door isn't the win ppl think it is.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

More importantly, when can the fact that Musk is a Nazi be reported as straight news and not be relegated to "critics say" or the opinion pages?

People who became Premier of Alberta without having a seat in the Legislature: -Danielle Smith -Jim Prentice -Don Getty -William Aberhart -Herbert Greenfield

Annnnnd Carney is already talking about getting rid of the carbon tax and ditching the capital gains tax increase....bleh Both of those moves disproportionately benefit the wealthy and seem to be responding to Conservative-led branding problems rather than reality.

Carter added $25 billion to the deficit Reagan added $74 billion G.H.W. Bush added $102 billion Clinton reduced it by $383 billion (leaving a surplus) G.W. Bush added $1.54 trillion Obama got it to $585 billion, a reduction of $825B Trump added $2.1 trillion Biden reduced it by $942 billion

we should organize and take to the streets over this shit, we should be going to jail over it but we're so cult-of-individualism poisoned that people are like "well, why aren't YOU doing it?" I can't do shit! only we, collectively, have power. this is a time to organize ourselves and use that power

we're gonna need progressives to go back to calling these guys weird, totally unfuckable dorks

A sign of the extremism of the Musk/Trump/Project 2025 crew is that public schools in the US are run locally, usually at the municipal level, by elected school boards. These anti-government extremists act like US public schools are a form of centralized tyranny when they’re the opposite of that.

They fed us this line about the Columbine shooters– who were neonazis– and they expect us to continue to buy this line about any young white man who is destroying our society.

Jean Chrétien talks about building a natural gas pipeline from Alberta to Québec. 👀

Hassett also saw piles of cocaine fall down from the skies and pile up on the ground during the winter months in Canada.

While education and healthcare implode, while the CorruptCare scandal widens, while her caucus crumbles, while other leaders are encouraging Canadians not to travel to the USA, Danielle Smith plans to go back to Florida…to get this: hang with far-right MAGA types. Have you had enough, Alberta?

The Right’s newfound love of censorship proves what many suspected: its free speech absolutism was always conditional. Just ask Jacobin contributor Yves Engler, recently jailed in Canada for five days for online criticism of Israel’s supporters.

Because I suspect this is going to get lost in the flood of everyone paying attention to Elon, here is the current, Russia-supporting Secretary Of The United States admitting outright that he understands Russia likely has plans on invading other European nations.

So much of Democratic voters' energy has had to be focused on getting people they voted for to fight. It's sad. That diverts time they could be doing other things.

It's really important going forward to de-center people who voted for Tr*mp. They need to be de-centered. If they want to join in anti-fascist struggle, they can. But the focus needs to be on others especially those who will be most hurt by what's to come.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

The man on tape hitting his wife in public embraces accused rapists and human traffickers as corporate America throws money at them. Repulsive.

Is there a reason why Danielle Smith is traveling to Florida on taxpayers’ dime to participate in a far-right talk show that routinely has its content removed for hate speech? www.forbes.com/sites/antoni... #ableg

~Why is Smith gallivanting down south while our province is being demolished? ICYMI Join Us for PragerU's East Coast Gala with Ben Shapiro & Danielle Smith www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx9d...

I keep saying this, but... www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

This'll be a great test–one they're likely to fail–for his supporters to see how deep the cult worship really goes. Their beliefs and opinions are incredibly malleable when daddy tells them what to think and how to feel.

Telling Americans to “Shut Up About Egg Prices” is quite the message

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.

We need more people like Frankie in the world.

can only assume they're breaking in there to delete their names

Disastrous, entirely predictable result of zero Dems in my lifetime saying clearly and consistently that the right is lying to you so they can keep taking all the money for themselves.

A week after the 2025 election, Supreme Court rules that Ford's changes to the Election Finances Act, to suppress the vote for the 2022 election, were unconstitutional. Rigged the election in 2022, stayed in power anyway. Link to our original article below. decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-...

Farmer and past municipal candidate David Bexte defeated 3 other candidates to win the federal Conservative Party nomination in Bow River. He previously ran for a seat on Vulcan County Council in 2017. He’s the father of right-wing activist Keean Bexte. daveberta.ca/canada-feder...

They hate whoever they’re told to hate. It is actually insane

That's per capita... it's hundreds of millions of hours combined

👇🎯 The massively unconstitutional, unpunished illegality of Iran-Contra & the lazy, dangerous talking points about government: Trump is the inevitable progression of Reagan & no serious Democratic politician should ever get up on national TV & say nice thing about Reagan in the face of all of this.

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

Man, shut up with this nonsense. They sell bigotry. What needs are the Tate Brothers and Rogan meeting for young men. List them. Say exactly what they are. What do they say to young men, because I’ve watched those shows and it’s not secret what is appealing about that. Say it.

It's incredible that this was written by Don Braid, and that Postmedia published it.

Normalizing racism was a major goal of the “free speech absolutist” movement and they’ve been wildly successful at their work.

Value for money

White folks, and its mostly us, making jokes about ‘him dying’ like it would solve our problem. It won’t, we need to work to fix this otherwise it happens again. We need to decide what’s more important. Democracy or decorum and comfort?

must rock being a cybertruck guy. every time you pull up it’s like beep beep make way for the Ambassador of Divorce

First step out the house this morning, time to play "Skunk or Doobie?"

"Iraq has WMDs"

I’m gonna disagree. Dems should say: “You know damn well Republicans don’t care about women’s sports. And you know they get arrested every single day for preying on kids. No wonder they make laws where they get to look in your kid’s pants. They wanted to make a child predator Attorney General.” …

Wealthy white people pretending to be the victims, what else is new?

According to @ubyssey.ca, RCMP officers showed up at the office of UBC's student newspaper and requested the contact information of their sources to identify protesters (The newspaper refused, which is good because it is wildly inappropriate for police to do this) ubyssey.ca/news/ubc-sta...

Lame. And Stupid.

Huh... it's ALMOST as if the leadership of the FAA has been dismantled and replaced with a bunch of SpaceX sycophants who will rubber-stamp any Musk proposal, no matter how much it puts the public at risk.
