Once fascism becomes debatable, you’re cooked.

This is getting very dangerous.

lol :(

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Remember younger millennials and Gen Z don’t remember the Harper years, it’s why they are buying Poilievre’s bullshit. Us olds need to inform them what a nightmare his mentor was. #cdnpoli

We are no longer "headed towards authoritarianism." This IS authoritarianism.

Make it a commercial and televise it to the world. #uspol #cdnpoli

Marco Rubio has ensured his place in history for war crimes.

Irony. Donald Trump is ensuring that America will never be great again... TRUMP OWNS DE-DOLLARIZATION The market is re-assessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid de-dollarization www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/i...

We can make this change Canada Can #Canada grow more of its own food? Greenhouses, vertical farming make it possible, experts say U.S. supplies 67 per cent of Canada’s vegetable imports and 36 per cent of its fruit imports www.cbc.ca/radio/costof...

Last July, Project 2025's Kevin Roberts said “the second American Revolution ... will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” It was a declaration of war against the American people, a demand for our surrender. Some cowards in law, academia and business have submitted. Many of us never will.

We "defend Christian values" by using ballistic missiles to kill children as they gather to attend Easter worship.

U.S. House Rep. Chip Roy said Cleta Mitchell, a key figure in Trump's campaign to overturn the 2020 election results, "had a significant hand in what we're doing here." Mitchell, a longtime GOP lawyer, has played a central role in coordinating the movement to tighten voting laws.

A huge honor to get to write something with my hero @naomiaklein.bsky.social. We wish it was a happier topic, but it's an urgent one. We dove deep into the apocalyptic fervor of the far right to issue a warning about the rise of End Times Fascism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Whooping cough (pertussis) cases have skyrocketed by more than 1,500% nationwide since 2021. Deaths tied to the disease are also up — hitting 10 last year, compared with about two to four in previous years — and cases are on track to exceed that total in 2025. 👉 Read more: propub.li/3XZxXVn

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

I wonder what percentage of the population 1) knows what fascism is, 2) knows we are living under fascism now, 3) knows our fascistic dictatorship is an existentially serious situation, and 4) is doing something(s) about it personally. I think the answers are the reason we are where we are.

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

“Down on your knees, Donald. Now, beg. Good boy. Bark like a dog. Good. Now, roll over. Bark again. Now, beg some more. Good doggie.”

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” - Hannah Arendt

happy ten year anniversary to this post

Waiting for our shithole president to say SOMETHING about the attempt to burn down the residence of the Governor of the 5th most populous state with him and his family in it

You can tell what Bernie is doing is working because it’s making the New York post furious

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

I've been using the word kidnapping from the beginning. Human Trafficking works too.

“What’s the emergency with Belgium?” Senator Warren says Congress needs to step in on the #TrumpTradeWar

Ukrainian military intelligence has identified the Russian army brigades that launched ballistic missiles at Sumy The strike with 2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles was carried out by Russian forces from the 112th and 448th missile brigades, according to Kyrylo Budanov,head of the Defence Intelligence

russia deployed cluster munitions in its deadly Palm Sunday missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said on April 13.

Interesting—so everything before that was still within the bounds of decency?

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Stephen A. Smith on Trump seeking 3rd term: "If any Republican supports that I don't want to hear a word out of their mouth ever again about following the Constitution. That's what they've been living off for years. Then you're talking about circumventing the 22nd Amendment & you think that's cool?"

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

This is organist Olena Kohut, killed today in Sumy by the Russian missile. Joseph Rheinberger, Visione, op. 156 no. 5 💔

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

FIVE. MORE. LAW. FIRMS. CAVE. AND. CUT. DEALS. WITH. TRUMP. "$600 Million Dollars in pro bono services." Of all the people you'd think would have the resources to fight back and say "F*CK NO!" and handle the consequences...you'd think it would be those at the high-power law firms.

A crater now stands where the congress center of Sumy State University used to be. According to the latest information, there already are 31 killed, two of them children, and 84 more injured, including 10 children. Rescue works continue.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

One of these people has at least thought about Ukraine for some time. The other doesn’t understand basic facts about his brief.

This is bullshit!! 😡

@ninajankowicz.com’s testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee this month was truly impressive. I’ve testified about two dozen times before the House and Senate. It’s not easy to rebut lies during a hearing premised on lies. And she did it - a real masterclass. Read her piece too:

Do you know how much abuse already exists in TX nursing homes due to short staffing and inability to find people with licensure willing to work for such low wages? Do you know how much worse that will get now that there are no student loan forgiveness incentives in rural areas? People will die.
