Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

If the debt is such an issue, two things. No pay raises for federal elected officials until the debt is below 3% of gdp. No tax cuts until debt is below 3% of gdp. If we can’t afford to feed everyone and provide health care, then how can we afford $1 trillion dollars yearly for the pentagon?

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

lol.

Congratulations to our SMARTER neighbors to the North on an election done right. #Canada

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Well that sucks! I looked up this brand of kids bikes only to find that they are withdrawing from the American market (presumably due to tariffs) and Canada is collateral damage.

www.kivitv.com/news/six-men... She repeatedly asked to see thier badges and screamed "do not touch me" when it was clear they were not law enforcement, then she went limp to make their illegal attempts to remove her more difficult. How is this not assault?

Just another reason for Canadians to boycott American Produce, Meats, Milk, Fish, and Goods. It won’t be safe to eat. BUY CANADIAN ONLY!

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

“‘Even assuming the Administration now wishes to take back its litany of breathtakingly intrusive demands,’ the university said in its statement, ‘it appears to have doubled down on those demands through its deeds in recent days.
 ‘Actions speak louder than words.’”

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Welcome !

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

I remember when there were brave people….

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE! Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin Visit www.takedowntesla.com

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

Indeed.

This is my first LCBO visit since the tariffs happened and there are now maple leafs 🍁 on all the Ontario and B.C. wines :

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

What I Should Be Doing vs. What I'm Actually Doing

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

Today's events with US tariffs. Showed us just how much of a stand-up guy Justin Trudeau can be, while he defends our County. Meanwhile PP is nowhere to be found. What would today look like if Pierre was in charge? he probably be signing away our sovereignty as we speak. #elbowsup #cdnpoli

These “ladies” weren’t ejected from the chamber for being disruptive or failing to maintain decorum in the house, because they were exercising their First Amendment Rights. Remember those?

Mandate? 245 million eligible voters 89 million did not vote. 73.6 million voted for trump. How is that a mandate?
