Today would be ANOTHER good day for Pierre Poilievre to prove to Canadians that he’s actually capable of passing the standard and normal security check, & get the security clearance that he’s refused to get. Until he does, I’m assuming it’s because he knows that, for some reason, he can’t pass it.

Could CBC cancel Cross Country Checkup already? This episode for sure for sanewashing Trump, then the entire show.

I feel like we’re weeks away from seeing Trumpers do this en masse at a rally

This is key: If we want to beat Trump, we must talk about impeachment until it gathers public support and becomes a Big Thing. Failing to talk about it, as Dems think is smart, means it will never become a Big Thing.

my eyebrows leapt up like a homesick angel and then I started to helplessly laugh

If this Trump term can make it to December, without there being violent riots in the streets of every US city, I’ll eat my shoe.

"Mired in diversity issues" is some real repugnant doublespeak in the service of normalizing Trumps white supremacist crusade

NYT headline: "Simple White Fabric Holds Complex and Contested Meanings"

if you need somebody to nick the dictator's luts, call Lutnick

One danger of embracing generative AI as a learning device and in language assistance is that you're letting the keepers of that AI have power over what you learn and how you write. It will be programmed with biases, unintentional but often *quite* intentional, that you will unknowingly adopt.

Trump trying to destroy Zelensky and Ukrainian agency. Therefore, our top priority must be to support Zelensky and Ukrainian agency. With any and all means we can find.

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

The boycott is Canada's first line of defence in a long and hard fight against gangsters and fascists. When American politicians see the mounting job losses they will start getting rattled. My message to the world is to join the boycott of all things American. No pasaran. Canada #strongasfuck

This is why the Tesla boycott/divestment strategy can work where others have failed. If we can move Tesla stock, we can wipe out a huge amount (if not all) of Elon Musk's wealth. This opportunity is too important not to pursue all-out. #TeslaTakedown

Well, Tesla finally removed the “Incel Camino” graffiti but someone kindly replaced it with this. #swasticars #vancouver

Protests need to ramp up and fast. If he declares martial law that’s just highlighting his own fascist aims to normies.

The only way Trump stops is through protests. The only way congressional members, dem or rep, grow a backbone is through protests. The only way the ‘market’ starts to respond negatively to any of this is by seeing protests. The fact there hasn’t been any yet is really strange.

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

Why are Canadian politicians on X still?!?!

2028 is a foreign country. Hell, 2026 is too. We don't have to go back and win the last election, we need to figure out how to win the next election.

It’s now seeming likely that something even more destructive is afoot. Not just idiocy, incompetence and fascistic beliefs but maybe complete destruction by every means at their disposal.

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

Looks like the US should be out of NATO so they’re free to join the eastern block of Russia
