Ever wonder how you would have responded to events if you’d been a German citizen in 1933? Probably exactly as you’re responding to events today. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

I’ve learned a lot from Charlie Angus since Trump 2.0 began. This is yet another horrifying proposal to further destroy the American government as well as its former alliances.

I’m writing letters to our politicians and asking them pointedly whether they will support ALL their constituents, or whether they will scapegoat the most vulnerable to further their own agenda.

NEW: Trump cabinet officials have embraced Jack Posobiec, the far-right conspiracy theory-peddler (Pizzagate!) who co-wrote a book last year demonizing liberals as "unhumans" & praising fascist dictators—Spain's Franco & Chile's Pinochet—as role models for MAGA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

I am at the NATO meetings in Brussels. Trump and Putin are plunging the world into dark chaos. Here is my dispatch from day one of the meetings. I decided that it was time to go over the boards for Canada. Please read and share. substack.com/home/post/p-...

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible" The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today. snyder.substack.com/p/appeasemen...

It was very cold & windy with some snow this evening ahead of the major storm bearing down on Kingston. But this is Canada, & winter weather defines us, at least in part. The ‘Spirit of Winter’ continues in Market Square. You can see the Indigenous art & hear the Ojibwe narration. 🪶🇨🇦❄️

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz confidently bet the house on unity—and they lost. They lost, because 77 million Americans chose division, they ratified separation, they amen-ed exclusion. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/yes-it-is-...

It’s not just Americans who have to look at this megalomania on wheels. If Canada renames a few shared water bodies of its own, will Google change its maps to reflect that, too? How about Lake Canada instead of Lake Superior?

Transgender Germans were among the very first targets of the Nazis in 1933. The party of Hitler moved quickly against other, larger groups. The party of Trump will do so as well.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume. Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media. #Canada #BuyCanadian #cdnpoli

I, too, have noticed that the NY Times has begun holding back. It occasionally expostulates, but its coverage of the attempted coup underway is meek, mild… and very, very selective in what it publishes.

Twice, the flower of Canadian youth fought and died shoulder to shoulder with American, Commonwealth and European allies. Today, those allies refuse to speak up - or even whisper - to support us. Such a craven silence. “Peace in our time”, perhaps?

In 1933, the Nazis began the suppression of German society not with Jewish citizens, but with transsexual ones.

Urgent reading, because it looks past the shock and awe of last month and into the long-term goals of destroying a country from within.

We are now over 20,000 strong. I need every proud and determined Canadian to reach out to their family, friends, colleagues to sign the pledge for Canada. Each one reach one. Each one teach one. Donald will not break us. True. North. Strong. Free #strongasfuck actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Elizabeth Ann says that now it’s February, it’s time to take the Christmas tree down. She’s stealing all the lower balls and hiding them under the furniture. The tree is starting to shed its needles, so she’s quite correct.

My facebook account is now deleted. Meta asked for a reason, so I chose the “I don’t feel safe” option. It promptly informed me that I could report hate speech. Sure, Meta. Sure.
