I just wrote a letter to the Senate calling on them to vote NO to Trumpian Mass Deportation Bill C-12. Write your message here: actionnetwork.org/letters/bill...

On the plus side, America's fascist and neo-nazi party memberships will have plummeted under Trump's tenure. On the down side, they will all have moved to the Republican party.

Having seen the video of Renee Good's murder and heard the president's explanation of it,one thing is clear (that should have been clear ages ago): Donald Trump is an inveterate liar. Every thing he says on any subject should be assumed to be false unless proven otherwise.

Donald Trump has said that he does not “need international law” and that his power is limited only by his “own morality”. Has anyone, anywhere, ever seen any evidence, any at all, that Donald Trump has anything resembling a moral sense? Asking for a concerned planet.

If the U S has the ability to kidnap the president of Venezuela from his capital, it underlines the fact that bombing small boats in the Caribbean and going back to wipe out survivors, instead of stopping and arresting suspects, was just murder for political gain, AKA an act of terrorism.

USA: World leaders in incarceration; leading cause of death for children? guns; health sec? an anti-vaxxer; Navy?murdering shipwrecked sailors; Trump? lecturing Europe about 'threats to civilization.' "What do you think of western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea."

Infantino must go!

DONALD TRUMP VS JIMMY KIMMEL: Let's show Disney that capitulating to Trump is unacceptable. Bring back Kimmel NOW! action.eko.org/a/disney-kim...

Today I have been swamped with Facebook ads for Disney. Oddly, in each of them the comments have been switched off. Must be due to Disney's new Micky Mouse policy on free speech.

URGENT: The Israeli government has announced a complete invasion of the Gaza Strip, and last night the IDF murdered five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza including its most prominent reporter Anas Al Sharif. No more statements of condemnation. Sanction Israel NOW. action.eko.org/a/gaza-invas...

He is only one man,a symptom, rather than a cause, but I wonder, how many people look to the headlines each morning hoping to read "Polarizing President Dead at 79!"?

Today's deal from the Crooked Dealer: "So, Ghislaine, swear on oath that Trump was never an Epstein client and then we'll talk about pardons." Remember, though, Ghislaine, he always stiffs those who work for him.

Just when you thought they could sink no lower, Republicans shut down the government to protect the identities of pedophiles.

As someone in his 70s, I take exception to people constantly 'diagnosing' Trump with dementia. I don't see it. The utter garbage he spews from his mouth today is exactly as incoherent as it was 30, 40 or 50 years ago. Unless, perhaps, he was born with dementia?

🌮🌮🌮🌮 UPDATE 🌮🌮🌮🌮 So Tacoman released new tarrifs this week. It will have a devastating impact. Brace yerselves!

It's time to end the safe third country agreement with the USA so that refugees like Mohammad Younesi can be free from Trump's concentration camps and reunited with their families. That the US is not "safe" for refugees should be clear by now.

This is what the NY Times chose to highlight from the Netanyahu/Trump meeting, compared to Al Jazeera. You decide which is the important news.

In a parallel universe, Benito Mussolini has nominated Adolf Hitler for a Nobel Peace Price.

Terrorism is a horrible crime that brings death and injury to innocents. Repainting a war plane and standing with a placard are not terrorism and we confuse the two at our peril.

To go with his SNAP cuts to food for the poor, Trump announces a UFC fight on the White House lawn. The Romans had "Bread and circuses." The USA is down to just circuses now.

Trump plans a UFC event for the White House. Can't imagine why other countries don't do this. Buckingham Palace, for example, has loads of space. Somehow, though, this seems the perfect, emblematic event for Trump's White House: violent, brutal-for-profit and totally tasteless.

This morning I commented facetiously "If Netanyahu is in trouble, why doesn't he ask Trump to appear as a character witness?" But here's the thing: no-one,even the most die-hard Maganut, would ever dream of asking this president of the USA to vouch for his character. Absolutely no-one. Ever.

It used to be said that the world was run by C students. It now appears it is, in fact, run by a C student in third grade.

Trump: "Nobody knows what I'm going to do." Not even Trump. It all depends on whoever flatters or whoever insults him today.🙃

Infantino's FIFA folly is proving a much of a success as Trump's Big Beautiful Birthday Bash. 🙃

Time to pull the Cup, FIFA DeSantis, took the extraordinary step of encouraging members of the public who feel threatened by protests at Club World Cup to drive through the crowds. As DeSantis put it: “If you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.”

If Trump is right and all the people protesting against him are all being paid, the only logical conclusion is that Elon Musk hates him more than ever. Look at the size of the crowds. Who but the world's richest man could ever afford to fund this?🙃

Trump's plan to cut down immigration is working well: turn the USA into a police state with no human rights or rule of law; remove pollution controls; weaken medicare; defund universities; make food more expensive... till it's a place no-one would ever want to go to, even for a holiday. Brilliant.🙃

Canada's own mini-Trump just rammed through his personal big, beautiful bill. It gives a man who won the votes of 1 in 5 power to suspend all laws in "special economic zones." Of course, we can trust him to do the right thing, as with the greenbelt.🙃 Irony: he justifies it with the threat of Trump.

Trump is anti-DEI? Consider the facts. There are more people with disabilities in positions of power than ever: an alcoholic in Defense; a drug addict in Doge; intellectually-challenged women in Education and Homeland Security, and so on.This woke president is a hero for the less-abled community.

The butcher, the faker and the government breaker.

Absolutely not. He's a bully. A liar. And a fascist. A huge misjudgement for Starmer to have offered him the visit in the first place - and it's beyond time for him to correct that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Americans should be glad the Signal fiasco was just a dress rehearsal and only tipped off an American journalist. With these clowns in charge, the real thing could well have updated the presidents of Russia, China and Iran on the US' war plans.
