Mapla Maga in full flight. They used to say "It can't happen here" about fascism in the U.S., but it *can* happen here in Canada, with Alberta politicians calling asking questions as "you'd love some chaos" and suggesting violence to children as a "solution".

"The easier art is to consume and produce, and the more focused it is on remuneration, the less it gives us: no food for thought, just reaffirmation at a time when echo chambers are the default." Numbing us and dumbing us down is a key policy for tech bros and authoritarian politicians.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

People use fascism loosely to speak of that which they dislike, but the term has a meaning. Most reductively: cult of personality; nationalism; eroticized violence, internal enemies, purity myths, politicized gender.

Remember that *everything* Orange Turd accuses others of is actually perpetraded by him or his people. Including petty complaints.

In the context of staring down a threat across the border, yes we are like 1938 Poland. However, we can also look to 38 Austria and the Anschluss and the referendum on joining Germany. My favourite is 1940 Norway. In Daniel Smith we have our own Vidkun Quisling - traitors both.

The Cons follow the MAGA script of online lying to hoodwink their followers and try to embarass their political opponents. @laura-babcock.bsky.social please ask Bonnie if she wants to be a member of this political party! www.thespec.com/politics/fed...

“In a CENSORED society everyone needs debates about harmless topics,” says historian Claudia Koonz. (Like make-up videos and “reality” shows today.) Nazi Germany women’s magazines glorified housewives subservient to men and to the "nation's father". (Like "trad wives" today. U.S. is primed for it!)

"the most important thing for us to do is just actually ignore anything the Americans say or their feelings or anything like that because their feelings are of no relevance and make sure we plan for a world where they are in collapse"

Super concert by the HPO last night. Sibelius (En Saga), new to me, Prokofiev 1st Pno. Concerto, Eris, nice piece by HPO composer-in-residence Abigail Richardson Schulte, and 1st Shostakovich Symphony (mindbogglingly composed by the 19 year old.) New maestro, James S. Kahane on the podium.

Good. Also a reminder that there's a vast difference between being outspoken about Israel's horrific genocidal actions and being antisemitic. I speak out against it, and I'm Jewish. See here: bsky.app/profile/phil...
