I’m actually glad WaPo put out this piece. This is a white lady living in Michigan, and voted for Trump. It’s people like her that won Michigan for Trump—not Muslim people.

The #OntarioElection is a story of #cdnmedia failure, public stupidity, and weak ineffectual opposition. It is also a story of massive amounts of #DarkMoney bypassing regulations. #DougFord is a thoroughly corrupt conman that mainstream failed to hold to account while propaganda flooded social media

it's like watching ants find their way around a puddle. you can do it little guys! keep working those tiny brains!

It's going to get far worse in America. People still aren't prepared. Take care of yourselves, your families, and your communities. Best bulwark is your local community. Start there.

It has begun: my department was in negotiations with an outstanding scientist for a faculty position. That faculty candidate has now withdrawn citing political upheaval, and is strongly considering moving her career to Europe. The US is no longer the premiere destination for research scientists.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

I would say remotely competent historians understand that major events in history are historically shaped by men born into wealth and power and lots of them were idiots. (Caligula: psychopathic dumbass!)

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Canadians don't boast about our beautiful nation. We don't tend to wave the flag. But when Trump tell us that we don't have a right to exist as a nation every Canadian must make a choice - VIMY or VICHY. I know where I stand. Canadians never give ground in the face of tyranny. #strongasfuck

I remember being very concerned about the hole in the ozone!!! And littering and pollution. And just coming together to do good things. What happened?

this is fun

Today from Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny: snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Janey Godley said it best “Trump is a cunt”. This Canadian agrees that Trump is a cunt

Let’s not give Bankers anymore of YOUR MONEY. Yes it’s easy to tap/swipe a card more importantly taken out money from a cash point even £10 it keeps this service going and less for Bankers #CashIsKing 💷 #IndyClan ⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Canadian here: completely embarrassed every time a Canadian pipes up to talk about how awful it is living next to the USA when our own domestic conservative libertarians are winning opinion polls in the mass media every day. We are one step behind America and it is ignorant to pretend otherwise.

oh great

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

CODIFYING discrimination is NOT a distraction. Sorry, we cannot abide this no matter who makes the argument that it is a "distraction." They will not stop at bathrooms.

I love how fused glass reflects light and my seahorses are a wonderful example of this. Also, It is unbound, the sea grasses extended beyond their glass border.

Gotta love a dead fish sun catcher

The triangle is a simple geometric shape with profound political, cultural and spiritual significance. It is the inspiration for my vase series - triangles in clay and metal

I made this LED neon tube sign three weeks ago, in the before times.

“Women are walking around, suspicious and guarded and apoplectic, knowing that some in our families or neighborhoods voted us back into second-class status, and wondering what else they’re ready to go along with.” By me. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Canadians should read Project 2025, I did. It took me days to recover. Read it and remember Harper and Poilievre endorsed it.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
