Bobby Orr is also maga so that would work against us

Do you think he’s signalling physical violence from the states?
Sorry I’ve been a mess since November and have no idea what to expect or look for anymore

Trouble in what sense?

Absolutely not, people have turned on him here. He’s a maga traitor

Given all this and the increased likelihood of political prosecutions against Democrats and the entire federal apparatus being used against political enemies, how can you think the midterms will even be possible let alone plausible?

Perhaps in Germany, having an American come to your country to lecture, berate, scold and humiliate you is still a point where the entire political spectrum is still united in in rejecting

If you had told me Jk Rowling wrote that as I wouldn’t have bat an eye. Exactly the same style and thought process

Definitely @jasonschreier.bsky.social

Hey there! I subscribed recently but whenever I try to access articles from wired from here, after I get the sign in prompt I get booted to the conde nast New Yorker front page…how can I just automatically read the wired articles when clicking a link from blue sky?

Isn’t that why laws and justification are built that defeat time and opinion by entrenching power and removing voting power from different groups?
Most of what’s happening right now isn’t legal and it’s not stopping and not stopping them. It’s only been six weeks. So much more to go

Doesn’t all this assume that the unpopular policies don’t galvanize a public response to the point where some level of martial law and election suspension happens? It feels like that is what we’re hurtling towards what good is voting is rights and who gets to vote is broadly suspended?

Maybe I’m confusing you for someone else who used to use the brockm handle, but didn’t you used to be Canadian working in Toronto for red hat before moving stateside to work for square and Dorsey?

100%
This should be looked at as also putting barriers up the advancement of women outside the home and “traditional roles” as well as minority groups. It cuts of paces of socialization, communication and camaraderie. Any social or societal advancement is being narrowly defined and restricted

I do read them that way and that’s why I’m worried

If it ever happened I think it would be a territory and not a state. The state thing would be reneged on almost immediately

I know I keep asking you this every couple of weeks and it’s because it seems to escalate in tone every couple of weeks to the point of people in this country calling for war footing. Extremely worrying
comment in response to
post
So as this keeps escalating, what are you thoughts now on how luv likelier it is for Canada to get invaded during this term? Feels more and more likely with hegseth saying US needs to secure its own borders that they are gearing up to something awful with no checks and balances

Like the democratic establishment (schumerism) they believed that when they stood up for Fox News that would reciprocal when the time came. Polite society should be earned not loaned in advance

My fear is they are going to outline a plan to ramp tarrifs to 100% and break the economy

Gen X still out here boring everything everyone accused the boomers of being. Failed generation

One the biggest own goals libs/progressives have done to ourselves is demanding purity tests at every opportunity and completely dismissing the idea of letting perfect be the enemy of the good. The right has understood that lesson and that’s why we are where we are

Is it plausible that some way of allowing a third term is to declare an emergency that suspends either elections and extends a term or creates a special election to confirm a third term?

What kind of creativity?
comment in response to
post
So if a shock comes then the fallout will be much worse because instead of being proactive and conservative and building in the shock, the market will have to be reactive after being flat footed. Very worrying

Way to miss the point again.
We’re all scared. This is a terrifying, unsettling time for our country, the US and for the world.
Expecting someone else to do the work for you and being unable to recognize the protest that Kendrick was subversively doing last night is your problem to sort. Peace

Seemed like he was building a case for an attempt to coerce and dominate though no? Not liking the liberal government, talk about our resources and their value, how we would like to join them. Was not comforting

Because we damn well know who goes fist when this all goes tits up. We have exit plans we’ve been making for years and years. This is your first rodeo. Good luck

I’m Canadian too dillweed. I’m saying you white folk have to deal with your own shit this time because black people are not going to save you and wishcasting on them is a very specific form of liberal racism. It’s time for us minorities to turn inward and protect our families and ourselves first now
comment in response to
post
It is but minorities are not here to save you this time. We fought. We begged. We pleaded. We were betrayed by by sure problem and our own supposed Allies. We’ve lived subordinately before. We’ve lived under fascist principles before. You haven’t. It’s your turn to step up and be first in line now
comment in response to
post
Way to miss the point entirely. He made a political point. It wasn’t what white people wanted which was aisle call to arms and an explicit condemnation of the president. This was about black resilience in the face of fascism which they have faced before in America. This isn’t about you.

Yeah cause they hate Taylor swift. KC though is maga and so is mahomes’ family down to his wife and most like mahomes himself too
comment in response to

It’s great if you hate Kansas city, hate what their fans stand for, hate the mahomes family (even though Patrick is an undeniable generational talent) and have the subtext of two Americas where the one winning today in this game is the good America.
I’m also an eagles fan so this rules
comment in response to

He was political just not in the way white people wanted or expected him to be .y’all really have to stop hopewishing that black America and minorities broadly are going to rescue you. White Americans betrayed America, they have to step up now and everyone else will speak in code to their people
comment in response to
post
He did though but for his community. The sign choice, visuals and performance were directed to black America. He doesn’t owe white america anything and black people no longer owe America saviours anymore after the betrayal in November. It’s white america’s job to say something now & be the frontline

I ask this with all honesty and curiosity, will there actually be prison for any of these people? We are presupposing that a government takeover isn’t a the next government for decades. The law can’t save anyone if the lawmakers refuse to or cannot act
