For all my friends, 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 and everywhere else! - we have to fight this TOGETHER.

An egregious attack on #PalestineSolidarity and free expression that must be defeated.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

#Trump’s drive to expand executive power continues relentlessly.

Speaking truth to power. This is how you do it. Thank you @charlieangus104.bsky.social

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

19-02-2017 CANADA: Labour leader Bob White dies at 81 years of age. He is remembered as a founder of the Canadian Auto Workers and a popular president of the Canadian Labour Congress. socialistproject.ca/2017/02/b1373/

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” John Stuart Mill 1867 Thank you for speaking out at NATO @charlieangus104.bsky.social

Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump say it should absolve their child-porn charges, too www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Another plane crash today, and while lives are shattered, the transportation secretary is busy in Daytona, groveling at Trump's feet. It’s a disgraceful spectacle, as they act more like the Kardashians of DC than public servants. How many more crashes before they put safety over selfies?

Rec'd 2 mail deliveries on Saturday. No mail delivery earlier in the week. Seems the local Post Office laid off about 25 temporary delivery people, after the staff was forced back to work by the federal government. Election cards are supposed to be mailed out this week....

More than 350 rabbis and dozens of Jewish creatives and activists have signed a full-page Ad in The New York Times condemning US President Donald Trump’s proposal for the forced removal of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/4rpluk

“It's fucking racist,” one active-duty Army general told @stevenbeynon.bsky.social on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. “For the Army now, it's 'Blacks need not apply,’ and it breaks my heart."

NYT: “.. The mayor said that if he were to comment on social media about Trump administration immigration policies, for example, it would not help the city get funds for public housing or schools and could put at risk $2 billion worth of infrastructure projects ..” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/n...

The FBI must disclose more info about Trump’s classified documents case, a judge has ruled. The judge noted that while the dropped charges against Trump reduced his criminal exposure, they “ironically” made him more susceptible to public scrutiny.

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

Yaassss AOC! 👏

“Ignore the media headlines reporting that these moves ‘raise questions’ or ‘push the boundary.’ It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.” www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Charlie is the real deal. And he’s completely correct.

The first stage of Trump’s Gaza plan should be him personally clearing the place of unexploded munitions

Safadi's visit comes ahead of King Abdullah’s scheduled meeting with Trump at the White House on Tuesday, the report said. Discussions are expected to focus on Jordan’s concerns over Trump's plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to other countries in the region. #Gaza

Authorities are searching for a Bering Air passenger plane with 10 people on board that was reported missing while en route from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska's Department of Public Safety said reut.rs/3WSDn3P

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements. They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern." Pay attention.

Tired: Who Funds The Federalist Wired: Who Fondles At The Federalist

Hallway Medicine. Endless Wait Times. Overworked Staff. Ontario’s Healthcare System is Facing It’s ‘Worst Crisis’ Ever. ‘Healthcare in Ontario has never been in such disarray’, experts say pressprogress.ca/hallway-medi...

This video should be playing on loop in advertising right now for the Ontario election. Doug Ford showing full support for Donald Trump and Republican Party. This is the choice, Ontario. (h/t to TDotResident for video)

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

Merci, Ce n’est qu’une pause. Ce dictateur,faux prophet Gère rien, mais la classe de D’ultra riche mêne le tout. Attention Canada Thank you, it is a pause This dictator, false prophet in not in charge, the ultra rich are running the government. Heed the warning 🇨🇦🇺🇦✌️

Today’s front page of the largest newspaper in Quebec, Canada and they nailed it 🤣🎯

Doug Ford as "Captain Canada"? I don't think so. He's a US corporate boot licker.

"We are in a massive massive humanitarian crisis which Trump has inflicted, a man-made crisis... he said 'no more aid' overnight... it should be one of the biggest stories in America... people are going to die because of what Trump, Musk & Rubio have been doing." Me on MSNBC today with Ali Velshi:

I feel sorry for the independent grocer at our Ottawa Produce Depot. But if it says "USA" I ain't buying it. Go, Mexico!

It doesn't matter how many times the opposition yells "but he can't do that, it's illegal", Trump and his buddies are doing it...and there doesn't seem to be any will/way in the political realm to stop him..........

Please take a minute to watch this. This is who we are as a nation. Our ancestors fought for the freedom of others. Today we fight for the values of our land and people. Canadians don't run. We never have. True. North. Strong. Free. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AuK...

Yep I said the same thing on air at MSNBC

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

🚨 Trump administration just ordered the General Services Administration to develop a plan to cut 50% of its current budget, multiple officials tell me. "Our SES [senior executives] looked shell shocked," one official told me. "I expect this was a result of Musk's visit to HQ yesterday."

Has anyone in Canadian media interviewed Maude Barlow or @judreb.bsky.social on the tariffs yet? "Almost 40 years ago, the Left was warning about the consequences of tying Canada economically to the US. The election of Donald Trump is showing just how accurate those warnings were."

Trump is trying to exploit this tragedy. This upends his narrative.

I was privileged to be born in Canada, and I know all about Canadians' history of resistance to fascism. I signed the pledge.
