Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Each of these four points is crucially important. They explain why Ukraine is not lost — and Europe is not threatened — without the United States. More commitment and expenditure will be required, but there’s no reason for surviving democracies to capitulate

The man is an incomprehensible goon and cabinet officials threatening American cities with "hell" ought to be disqualifying. It's a violent threat to Americans. By the government. If they think it will stand, I'll point out their math ain't mathing on what control they really hold over this country.

If I were treating the federal workforce like worthless peons whose fates I hold in my hand, pretty sure I wouldn’t be using the word “bullets” in my communications with them at all.

“A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.” Because if you did, they’d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

Oh. One day after Coonerama at the White House, Trump fired the Black chairman of the joint chiefs. And you won’t hear the negroes who kiss Trump’s ass say a goddamn thing.

For the evening crowd, my weekend Loonie Politics column on all of the breathless assertions that Poilievre pivoted with his “Canada First” speech, and how that didn’t match the reality of his words. #cdnpoli

I am shocked—shocked!—that the company at the centre of the AHS scandal is charging double the public rate for private surgical services. That's never happened before in any other jurisdiction. Oh, wait...

This is the thing--Trump is toxic to most non-American audiences so politicians suck up to him at their peril--they will piss off their constituents if they bend the knee. It is already hurting Canada's conservatives.

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...

Part of the point of the past month was to overwhelm the system — journalists, the civil service, lawyers, NGOs, etc. It was to make Trump seem prepared, powerful, and disciplined. But his movement is none of those things. Their victory is not a foregone conclusion.

It’s a real challenge that even an understated description of what’s currently happening to American democracy can sound wildly hyperbolic based on our previous frames of reference.

So, Trump/Hegseth’s STATED reason for firing the top military officer and replacing him with an unqualified guy is because he is black. That’s their rationale The actual reason appears to be even worse, if that’s possible: they want someone who’ll follow Trump’s orders even if unconstitutional

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.
