Oof. I usually prefer not to celebrate violence, but, well hey, when the violence comes to you...

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Trump's EO going after teachers tonight is the clearest example yet that these executive orders are designed to spread fear. My latest, with @sarahszilagy.bsky.social: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
