The road to fascism is paved with bitches telling you “it’s not that serious”

From the Department of Aging Poorly.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Every single paper in the U.S. would be excoriating a Dem President who was golfing while the stock market melted down. We all know this. The editorial boards would be screeching, state tv ie Fox would be playing NONSTOP clips, etc. etc. It's worth remembering.

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

I should have made more AOCs.

Albertans should never be left responsible for billions of dollars in unpaid bills from bankrupt oil and gas companies. The UCP government must uphold the Polluter Pays principle to protect Albertans, landowners, and municipalities from footing this multi-billion-dollar bill #ableg #abpoli

Stay focused

If anyone throws their shoe at him tonight, I'll send them a new pair. No questions asked.

"Free speech," Nazi style.

I love our friends in Scotland.

Nicely done David McIntyre. The GoA issued a “water shortage advisory” for the Crowsnest and Upper Oldman rivers ... [but also] exposed the same critical headwaters ... to new & needless coal exploration, i.e., roads and other forms of intense, widespread, irreversible watershed destruction. #ableg

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

With the world going to shit, I walk out my door and across the street, and amateur reminded that there are bigger things...

Oops 😬

Alberta's private surgeries cost more, do less & may give money to UCP friends & relatives and you're going to talk about it? Surprise, you're fired! #abpoli #yyc #yeg #yql #abhealth #cdnpoli

Trump Administration

You can tell by how fast they're canceling your policies.

2 weeks after the orange convicted felon pulled the United States out of World Health Organization, Kansas is facing the largest tuberculosis outbreak in U.S. history with cases popping up in other states. Just in time for RFK Jr to spread it nationwide. Pro-life my ass.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Meanwhile, in Stettler… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Remember back when Germany annexed Austria against their will? I wonder why I'm thinking about that this morning...

If you are more worried about protecting a political party from criticism, or spend more time policing the different types of leftists, progressives or liberals, all the while a right wing regressive oligarchy is dismantling the foundations of your country, you need to recalibrate your priorities.

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Evil. "It sure looks as if Alberta’s [UCP] government is prepared to let more than 600 families whose homes were destroyed by last July’s wildfire go homeless if that’s what it takes to pursue its political vendetta against the Liberal federal government in Ottawa." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

By miles it is @aoc.bsky.social who has consistently held the line, alone. This is the type of leadership that’s needed, if your representative isn’t showing this kind of bravery then that isn’t your representative.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Canada, Panama, and Greenland are not enemies of the United States. Fascists are though, both foreign and domestic.

Canadian Jack Crawford wins Kitzbuhel's Hannenkamm today, skiing's most difficult and storied downhill race! Teammate Cam Alexander 3rd! An incredible day! There is a lesson here - we may be nice and polite as well, but we are tough, competent, and determined. Don't make us mad.

The Kevin O’Leary who was pushing the idea that Canada should join the United States? That Kevin O’Leary?

The road to fascism is lined with cupcakes telling you they “didn’t mean it.”

So proud of my beautiful 🇨🇦

Trump: Canada and Denmark (Greenland) have history. In fact, you might learn a thing or two from that about resolving conflict with other nations - but you won't. Don't count on them remaining so civilized with your idiotic shenanigans! #HansIsland

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive. Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

“A new study on the health impacts of pollution from Alberta's oil and gas sector has found the odds of having negative respiratory and cardiovascular health outcomes increase by nine to 21 per cent, depending on the number of oil and gas wells a person lives near.” Thoughts and prayers to GrPr. 👀
