Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

On behalf of a proud nation, massive congratulations to Team Canada for an incredible run in the Rugby World Cup 🇨🇦 —   Au nom d’une fière nation, je tiens à féliciter sincèrement l’équipe canadienne féminine pour son incroyable parcours à la Coupe du monde de rugby. 🇨🇦

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Kristi Noem fast-tracked $11M in FEMA funds for a Florida pier project after a wealthy donor texted her—just miles from Corey Lewandowski’s home. The favoritism scandal is blowing up. 👇

DOMESTIC TERRORISTS? "full force if necessary" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

9/9 There's a question mark over a 70-year-old institution that's a cornerstone of transborder travel, threatening to add new costs & hassle for Canadian travellers. It Undermines a competitive advantage for our country's airlines and airports. Andrew Jeffrey, CBC News www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

War ravaged Portland....hmmmm He made the announcement on social media, writing that he was directing the Department of Defense to “provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland.” “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” Trump said. Necessary to protect these fuckwits

🚨⚠️🚨Oregon on BlueSky, how do you feel about this shit?

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

In a functional state, this fascist would be impeached for this post alone. Abolish ICE. No troops in our cities. No kings, no fascists.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

this woman has been working at Nintendo for almost 20 years and nearly a decade longer than the guy she is replacing how much more qualified does she have to be lol

I have seen strongly worded social media posts condemning the move from even the most conservative of our local municipal councilors, as well as official posts from our county. Concerns about the speed of traffic is the #1 complaint directed to municipal leaders in our community.

Denmark’s Armed Forces have confirmed that drones were observed at several military sites overnight.

Danish PM: “We are going to see more sabotage, more hacking, more drones, undersea cables being destroyed. Direct attacks on European democracies, as we currently see in the small country of Moldova. That Denmark and Europe are under more severe and hybrid attacks, I consider to be a new reality.”

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

1/ This is what Project 2025 looks like. Argentina under Javier Milei is the test run: slash services, gut education, kill safety nets, push a scam memecoin. The result? Poverty, collapse & desperation. And now Milei is begging Trump for a bailout. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during 2020 racial justice protest, AP sources say.

The oligarchs are going to make sure they control all the media, that includes video games.

Spending millions to bring leadership together for a less than hour lecture on warrior mentality? Is it a security risk? Idiocracy is sure expensive in more ways than money. Gifted article wapo.st/4gOTo3K #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Senate Judiciary's Dick Durbin: "The Department of Justice has become a political tool of a vengeful President. President Trump wears his corruption like a badge of honor and defies anyone daring to challenge him."   "Is there one Republican left in Washington who gives a damn?"

In one recent post, Poilievre said Carney was “back on his taxpayer-funded jet”. In another, he said problems like inflation and housing affordability are getting worse and Carney “prances around abroad while Canadians pay the price at home.” Who is going to tell him 👇 #cdnpoli #canada

Doug Ford: "Sorry, no money for schools or healthcare" also Doug Ford: "Here's some money for unnecessary roadwork to bankrupt cities" #onpoli, #topoli

#ICYMI “To be frank, I take issue with that. Maybe there are some municipalities where they were used as a revenue tool, but that is certainly not the case here,” the #Kingston mayor said of Premier Ford's speed camera claims. #onpoli #YGK Details: www.kingstonist.com/news/kingsto...

Reminder: instead of funding classroom supports, Doug Ford spent $1.8 billion on bribery cheques to parents. This would have paid the salary of 30,000 educational assistants to keep children with Autism safe and learning at school. Just sayin’. #OntEd #OnPoli

"Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what the indictment says, because Halligan was going to indict Comey no matter what. That’s literally why she’s in the job — to bring the sort of sham charges that the previous US attorney, Eric Siebert, would not."

OUTRAGEOUS behavior from the Department of Justice; a seasoned prosecutor was fired for reminding a Stephen Miller ally that he was required to obey the Constitution and the valid orders of a federal court.

We have schools in #OntEd with condemned ventilation systems, electrical issues, leaking rooftops, and crumbling walls. Parents of children with special needs are being asked to keep their kids home due to a lack of special education staff. Bill 33 does nothing to solve this.

The Comey trial is already shaping up to be a comedy act. Trump tapped his former personal attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to prosecute James Comey, and she doesn’t even know the difference between real history and made-up stories.

You think you're arguing with a Poilievre MAGA CON on social media. In reality you are arguing with their supporters. #cdnpoli

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

"On a wet and miserable day, reporter Mark Colley created a vigilante speed trap as Doug Ford spoke next door. The final results were startling." #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/as-...

Honestly, I think speed cameras work. I suspect that some angry conservative douche got a lot of these tickets, stomped around, and sparked a revolt by conservatives against them. Guess what? Stop speeding and risking all our lives. #ONpoli #CDNpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yet another reason to call Paul Calandra (416-325-2600) and Doug Ford (416-325-1941) and demand they stop supervision of school boards and FUND OUR SCHOOLS! #onted #onpoli

"Here, we have a policy that saves lives, that’s popular even among Ford’s ideological allies, that the police brass supports. And it was his own policy in the first place." #OnPoli www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

Imagine the response if a Dem Administration removed every top general and admiral from every US military post all around the world (including conflict zones), in order to force them to attend a big in-person meeting in DC (with a former cable news co-host). www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

We cannot support 4 parties in this province. Greens are one guy on a ego trip (even if I like him). NDP are perpetual critics, never focused on reality of governing. Liberals are best chance to beat Cons but need to stop the infighting. NDP, Greens and Liberals NEED TO MERGE. It has to happen.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

It's remarkable how many people agree with Ford on this, and wonder how they would feel if their child were to be mowed down by a speeder in one of the zones currently monitored by a camera. Most European countries have had speed cameras for years, to the point where they are taken for granted.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has disbanded the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, created in 1951 to expand women’s roles in the military. The Pentagon said it doesn’t fit his “warrior ethos.” That’s a disgrace to every woman who has served. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “Drug traffickers live in Miami, New York, Paris, Madrid, and Dubai. Many have blue eyes and blond hair, and they don’t live on the boats where the missiles fall. Drug traffickers live next to Trump’s house in Miami.” @clashreport

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
