Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Did you know products “Made in Canada” need to be only 51% Canadian, while items marked “Product of Canada” must be 98%? In the wake of economic tensions with US president Donald Trump, Canadian consumers are rethinking what it really means to buy local. thewalrus.ca/buy-canadian/

Canadians: correcting disinformation and uniting resistors online is important work. But if you can, get involved in the political process. Volunteer at the local level and get out the vote. Polivere will turn us in to the 51st state. #NeverPolivere

Ford is projected to get 100% of the power with 45% of the popular vote. So MOST voters will not vote PC. Many will give up & stay home. Progressive voters opposed to right-wing policies can pool their votes. Vote strategically for the candidate who has the best chance to defeat the PC votewell.ca

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you. Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾 He doesn't care about you!

Pierre Poilievre called Canadians stupid. He can fuck right off to the United States where he can be happy under Donald Trump’s fascist regime. “Canada First,” aside from being a racist dogwhistle, is pure bullshit. PP has no interest in serving Canadians.

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

When police unions begin endorsing politicians, that is how you know fascism has arrived in Ontario. The people tasked with maintaining the law are now placing a political party above it. Ontario is speeding on the same track America is on, and we have only this election to stop it. #onpoli

Ford is a long time, unrepentant Trump supporter. They are both criminals using their respective regimes to enrich themselves while destroying democracy & killing their constituents. Don't let the Captain Canada act fool you. Ford is ONLY about protecting his ATM aka Ontario's Tax Base. VOTE HIM OUT

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond? By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

"DOGE wanted access to SSA’s sensitive files — the same way they’re trying to do at Labor and Treasury — and the acting commissioner wouldn’t give it, and she was replaced,” said Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works. “There is no way to overstate how serious a breach this is."
