On this day in 1813, the Battle of Crysler's Farm was fought near present-day Morrisburg, Ontario. In the battle, 800 Canadian and British troops faced 8,000 Americans. The battle was a defeat for the Americans, who then abandoned their Saint Lawrence campaign.

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp. Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

Not soon enough except when you have a castrated Congress and complicit SCOTUS.

ABC News fired reporter Terry Moran for criticizing Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, proving once again that corporate media is rudderless, cowardly and utterly complicit in enabling fascism.

This fucking criminal bastard just held the world upside down by its feet just to jingle out some money for himself. The billionaires are back to kissing his feet.

Something nice from this date back in 2023 and I think appropriate to share again.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

the Dow, which is down nearly 800 points again today after a brutal day yesterday, has lost 2.8 percent of its value over the last 5 days with no relief in sight. tired of winning yet?

Trump has always reserved his most cruel behavior for the most vulnerable person in the room. Two grotesquely evil people, duly elected by a tiny bit more than half the voters; the poor, the angry- and the stupid, who now find themselves a great part of those vulnerable people.

Canada pushes back after Trump says 25% tariff will go ahead next week. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly responded in part to the U.S. president’s claims by saying the U.S. is a “net exporter” of illegal fentanyl, guns and migrants to Canada.

Brits. Brilliant.

x.com/donpaulbitso... I know you folks hate X, but you really need to hear the grave dangers being undertaken by Hesgeth and Trump in setting us up for illegal operations by the US military.

U.S. gunmakers are supplying the deadly weapons that power its neighbours’ criminals, from street gangs in Toronto to international cocaine and fentanyl cartels operating out of Mexico, experts tell the Star.

Trump threatening tariffs on Canada is not about drugs or migrants. It’s about harming - and attacking the sovereignty of - an ally. #anschluss

Canada, Panama, and Greenland are not enemies of the United States. Fascists are though, both foreign and domestic.

“Cheer up, someday you’ll attend my funeral.”

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer. It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health. Warning signs are everywhere.

The words “fascist” and “authoritarian” are used often to describe Donald Trump and his minions, and rightfully so. But what do those terms really mean in practice? Today, Jay Kuo uses the work of Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to contextualize Trump's brand of fascism.
