This is what I do when I'm hanging out with a partner and I suddenly realize I have to rip a huge fart.

They’re proud of their impunity and capacity to kill witnesses. They see the killing of Renee Good not as a murder but as a righteous act meant to terrorize others into submission.

this is absolutely a violent political threat, but also, I hope people remember/pay attention to the normalization of this kind of talk--allowing it to slide unremarked leads to dangerous places in the US, India, etc. Even if the complaints about Bryan Passiflume go nowhere, they are worth making.

Smash hit Heated Rivalry offers 'reprieve' for LGBTQ+ community, creates conversation among hockey fans #Canada #CRAVECanada TV series based on Halifax author's novel of same name follows love affair between 2 pro male hockey players www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

I really hope that the success of Heated Rivalry drives a major wave of reinvestment into CanCon, and I'm not just saying that out of self-interest as an actor. It's one of the most important ways we can help push back against the captured US media landscape, which is fully in the tank for Trump.

I keep coming back to this

Justice delayed is justice denied. Isn't that the saying? It really is incredible to see how some governments will turn themselves inside-out and sacrifice just about every single value they purport to have, rather than accept the premise that Palestinians should count as human beings.

A lesson that Trump apparently did not learn from the 51st-state fiasco is that in most cases, regional political rivalries have a tendency to get set aside when faced with the threat of annexation.

Woke up too early, and my endocrine system really doesn't like how quickly I go from an "asleep" state to a "seething with fury and horror" state.

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

What the fuck are we actually doing here?

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

This new footage shows unequivocally that, in addition to being a political execution, the murder of Renee Good was an act of femicide, and a misogynist hate crime.

I love seeing Canada take our business elsewhere. Really glad that we went with Carney's "diversify the economy" plan rather than the Poilievre "grovel for scraps", approach.

Can we get some Canadian news outlets reporting on how there are Washington thinktanks demanding our division?

Fellow Canadians, open your eyes to this gangster state

Dudes rock, immigrants rock, New York fucking rules

Fascists smear a normal person without making them look fuckin' rad as hell, challenge level: impossible.

Great work everyone, but we can do better. Expand the embargo. Boycott all US travel and products. Divest or short-sell US stocks. Consume less US media. Try as much as possible to contribute precisely *nothing* to their fascist war-chest. The way we save America is by collapsing their economy.

God knows I have problems with the Houston gov't in NS, but we gotta give credit where it's due, and it is really encouraging to see that in this province, even a *Conservative* government is taking steps to support the queer community, especially when contrasted with the transphobic UCP in Alberta.

I can't stop thinking about a snippet on the news yesterday talking about a senior in Minneapolis who felt called to "do something, anything" after the murder, and so she has been going around putting down salt on the roads and sidewalks, both to keep the protestors safe, and for the pure symbolism.

The regime in the US is emboldened by their coup in Venezuela, and looking for their next meal. Greenland and Canada both need to work on making ourselves as spikey and indigestible as possible.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson demands ICE “end all operations in Portland until a full investigation can be completed," hours after two people were shot and injured by federal agents.

Here's the clip that really stood out for me. When the notoriously cautious CBC is using the "Fascism" word, things are bad indeed.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

Nathan Cullen: "I think watching the US leadership and the way they're handling this tragedy today is another underline for Canadians to say maybe our American cousins are more distant cousins than we thought politically, ethically, legally."

My goodness, the CBC panel on Power and Politics right now is *not* pulling punches. Discussing the ICE murder and escalating crisis with the US in very plain and serious terms. Suggest watching the whole thing. Particular props to @shachikurl.bsky.social for using the "Fascism" word.

Get his ass.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

All regimes fall, eventually. Something the US fascists should consider.

Just watched the Minnesota public safety commissioner say that he "makes no judgements" as to the responsibility for the death of Good, and I have *never* yelled "Fuck you!" so loudly or emphatically at my TV in my life. Jesus Christ. Pathetic.

this one goes hard.

“Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.”

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

I tend to think the PM is deploying the Grey Rock method for dealing with Trump, and presenting as boring a public front as possible. Tactically appropriate for dealing with an abusive narcissist, but I get why some find it unsatisfying. But yeah, head and shoulders above Poilievre. No question.

When you outfit your death squad with deadly weapons, give them masks, and tell them they are immune from consequences, they have a tendency to use them. The murder of Good, and all the other murders committed by ICE, were premeditated.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Yesterday was a literal confrontation between Good and Evil, and Good got murdered. The symbolism playing out in the age of US fascism is....not subtle.

Trump is evil. His regime is evil. His supporters are evil. I'm completely fucking done with pretending that there is any nuance to this.

Neofascist movements across the globe are desperate to replicate the success the Trump regime has had with ICE, and its campaign of kidnapping, ethnic cleansing, torture, and murder. Meanwhile, many political fence-sitters are too cowardly to even call it out. We cannot fight what we cannot name.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

Remember, protecting the precious purity of white women from imagined threats is one of the main reasons that the US nazis are obsessed with ethnic cleansing and transphobia. Her queermess will probably count against her to them, but still, they elected Trump to destroy brown lives, not white ones.

At some point, there is going to be war. A Fascist regime like MAGA will not permit a multicultural democracy like Canada to exist on it's doorstep. They are going to try and conquer us, and bring their ICE death squads to our cities. Be ready, Canadians. It's coming.

Renee Nicole Good was by all accounts I've seen, including from people I'm moots with who knew her, an amazing human. She wasn't murdered because she was an amazing mother, poet, and kind and gracious human. She was murdered because these fucking Gestapo on our streets believe they can do so.

I am really glad to see people around the world start to refer to ICE terrorists accurately as "death squads", because that is very much what they are. Kidnappers, torturers, and murderers. Sick, broken people, beholden to no-one but the regime. The quintessential fascist paramilitary.

we know regime playbooks here: smear the deceased, target the family, valorize the murderer both as supposedly innocent and with a sadistic delight in the murder itself.

This has to be the starting point for all Dems going forward.
