There is really no "one size fits all" solution to the problems the world faces right now. Sometimes it's gentle conversation, and knowing when to quit. Sometimes it's all out war. We have to understand the costs, the compromises and the ultimate objectives.

For me, the most difficult thing to process is not the existence of our right wing overseers, it's all the comments from people who say nothing can be done about it. No matter how difficult, giving up should not be an option. I have to remind myself that there are far more fighters than quitters.

We need an organized and coordinated resistance strategy. If that objective is impossible, then the keys to the future might as well be handed over now.

There's a video on YouTube by danasinspired, called "The president's plaques". It's really direct, angry, well worded and worth a couple of minutes of our attention. Well done!

There is a reasonable and rational response to the Trump disaster, inside and outside the "system", but the trouble is, it's NOT STRONG ENOUGH; somehow we have to get that message to the indoctrinated Trump cult.

A few really important names in the fight against fascism: Heather Cox Richardson Mary Trump Robert Reich Leigh McGowan Cheri Jacobus Brian Tyler Cohen The emphases and styles vary, but the messages are all important.

As ultra-antifa-2 points out, correctly, trump's murder count is more likely in the thousands.

He has murdered dozens, perhaps hundreds of innocents, he has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on himself, he's a convicted felon, he has torn families apart, he has destroyed the lives of innocent children, and assaulted dozens of women. But don't worry. This is all just a very bad dream.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Allowing asshole bullies like US ambassador Hoekstra to affect Canadian policy would be a colossal mistake. He's the worst kind of pathetic trump sycophant, and fortunately PM Carney understands this.

Innocent veterans are being arrested without reason, mothers are lining up at food banks, and Trump's worth is estimated at over $5 Billion and growing fast. There is no fucking way this makes sense.

Love this Stephen King quote: "His brain is like a radio playing at top volume, but between stations."

Countries around the world are moving on without the US. Canada, South Korea, the EU, all rejecting the change from leader to bully. It will take time, and there will be pain, but it's so obviously the right move.

It's frustrating to see Canadian interviewers treat Pete Hoekstra with respect. They seem almost timid around him, and it's strange because he deserves nothing but perfect contempt. He's a miserable, putrid little man with an evil agenda.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, has a poor understanding of the world around him, probably because he spends most of his time talking, and very little time listening. It's what narcissistic bullies do.

Blame my poor wording. Let me try again. Because the concept of being fair and taxing the rich is such a simple concept to understand, why are so many people apparently having difficulty understanding it? It's a rhetorical question, like saying "why are we being so stupid"? Sorry for the confusion.

Tax the rich! Why is this so hard to understand!

Respectfully disagree with the people who say we should ignore him, and avoid giving him the attention he craves. Rather, I think we have to watch carefully and try to find relief, and talk about solutions, loudly and often. We have to work on this aggressively and together.

Wonder if Kennedy will approve a vaccine for Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Sincere question. Is it possible that FINALLY he has reached such an extreme low that his idiot cult will turn against him?

The fetid puke says that if you don't like him, it's because you suffer from an incurable disease called "Trump Derangement Syndrome", or TDS. Can't make this shit up. Nope. Can't be done.

According to this narcissistic crusty orange asshole, Rob Reiner and his wife died because they spoke out against trump. He's demonstrating, once again, his god like ability to determine the facts with no evidence. It's not all about you, asshole.

His post about the death of Rob Reiner and his wife goes beyond all expectations of this miserable scum. It's been asked millions of times: How can any supposed human continue to support him? It's beyond any form of reason.

To paraphrase the Greek statesman, Pericles: "You may not be interested in politics, but politics may be interested in you."

Apparently I'm going to have to say this fairly regularly: If I block you, it means I think you're a spambot, or a scam, or an idiot, and I choose not to interact.

There was a real concern about the loss of freedom in society during previous Republican administrations, including in my lifetime, Nixon, Reagan, Bush 1, Bush 2. Although there was a progression of loss that brought us here, boy do they seem trivial now.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin

Hey! How about this: In about a week, the days start getting longer!

By definition, a fascist is not an agreeable rational person.

In the 1930's, British PM Chamberlain tried an appeasement approach with Hitler by signing the Munich Agreement. Reasoning with a fascist didn't work. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". - George Santayana

Critics have said that republicans should not be called sub-human, that all people should be treated with respect and listened to as equals. Based on the fact that families are being torn apart, people are dying and the climate is being destroyed, FUCK THAT! Magats are scum and deserve nothing.

There is no good argument for not taxing the rich. Trickle down economics has been shown many times, in many places, to work only for the wealthy. The idea that if the top has money, their spending will help the economy does not account for greed! Make them pay their share!

Unfortunately not just MAGATS criticize our speaking out. For reasons unknown to me, even liberals make personal attacks on those of us who choose to be vocal. Criticize, argue, sure, that's healthy, but we have to stop the personal attacks. We have to make it safe to speak out.

According to The Guardian, as posted by @mhsims.bsky.social, Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity.

If I block, it means I think you're a spambot, or a scam, or an idiot, and I choose not to interact. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Allowing powerful groups and individuals to buy political influence is a major flaw in political systems in the US, Canada and elsewhere. Our job, as citizens, is to find the politicians least controlled by that power.

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

Farmers are losing their farms, other businesses are going bankrupt, families are being torn apart, people are fucking dying! Republicans either don't understand or they just don't care. They are fucking disgusting sub-humans!

MAGA's think that if they are on the side of the power elite, they will be ok. But no, it's not enough to be WITH them, they have to BE them.

If you think you don't have time to get involved, please prioritize. It may seem inconsequential, but find a way to help. Otherwise, you're doing what the fascists want you to do. Donate, write a text or two, have a gentle talk with someone on the fence, post a comment.

The orange puss bag scares the crap out of me, not because he's strong. He isn't. He's a pathetic little fool, but he controls the strongest office in the world, and his ego is wildly out of control.

Trump's FIFA "Peace Prize" is no more valid than Governor Newsome's Intergalactic Peace Prize. Gov. Gavin is a riot! Trump is like a crow, attracted to shiny things. His narcissism is out of control, and the world knows he's a fraud, an idiot.

As personally weak as the orange pig may be, his insanity is affecting the globe, so the globe has a responsibility to fight back. It's not just an American issue. It's a world wide life or death issue.

😂😂😂😂😂

Trump threatens to let CUSMA expire and set more strict trade agreements. It's becoming more important that we boycott US goods and restrict travel, to support Canadian workers and products. Carney is doing it right. He's meeting Trump, but setting alternatives for a changing economy.

We're allowed "take backs", right? A few days ago, I said it's too late to get rid of Democrat Congressional leaders. I was wrong. Hakeem Jeffries has made it impossible NOT to dump him before the midterms. The guy has completely sold out to the Republicans.

I didn't have Hakeem Jeffries praising Trump for pardoning Henry Cuellar as the thing that would absolutely ruin my day, but just...truly...how in the world can people defend Hakeem Jeffries? How morally lost do you have to be to go to bat for someone who will never even pretend to protect you?

I am starting to truly hate Hakeem Jeffries.
