We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

What would happen if ICE, masked, in street clothes, and without identification or paperwork, showed up somewhere and attempted to arrest (kidnap) some young person, and a massive crowd of people showed up and beat them to death? Excellent, thought-provoking article - Jonathan V. Last on Substrack

Good question.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

This is the way.

TRUDEAU: “I want to speak directly to Americans — our closest friends and neighbors… yes, this will harm Canadians, but it will also have real consequences for you.” #TrumpTradeWar

Being serious, one thing I have just remembered - Kobo is a CANADIAN ebook company. I might do my ereading with them instead of Amazon.

BREAKING: David Hogg, a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting just been elected Vice Chair of the DNC. CONGRATS!

Highly recommend y’all follow some other countries’ news sources like @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social @reuters.com Another good one, but looks like they aren’t officially on Bluesky yet is abc news (Australia Broadcastimg Organization) abc.net.au

Canada retaliated against Donald Trump’s new tariffs with 25% levies on many US imports reut.rs/4jDi9Rl

What is the point if we don't fight? Because there is still so much to fight for.

They ant to replace your bank account with a crypto wallet and make X your bank. The pressure on Powell is not about interest rates, but check clearing and interbank transfers. They want to replace the dollar with crypto.

I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

MAGA is now MARA: Making America Racist Again

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

The MCU is becoming Reality: #MAGAisHydra “… I don’t know how many more … but, they’re in the building.”

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS AN ABSURD, WHORE HOUSE SHAMING ITSELF AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH IT'S BOTTOMLESS GREED AND DEPRAVITY. I 🙏 TO GOD THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE BETTER THAN THESE SOULLESS GREEDY POLITICIANS WE HAVE SENT TO WASHINGTON 🙏. WHERE IS THE BOTTOM?

Xenophobia is just one more form of hateful RACISM.

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

This is how Trump-supporting farmers wouldn't be hurt by migrant round-ups. They'll be back as prison labor. Horrific.

This right here is the end game. To reintroduce the migrant workers back to the farms etc and have them working for basically nothing. Life long free labour.

Mississippi introduces a bill allowing chattel slavery. Life imprisonment for “illegal aliens” solely for being undocumented.

If you stopped masking it’s not too late to start again. If you don’t know how to choose a mask, we will help. If you can’t afford one, mask blocs will help. You don’t have to do this alone. There’s a huge community of support for you!

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

We grow up with the unacceptable, and accommodation becomes a tool we use to make our lives easier. Accommodating the unacceptable is often easier than doing the right thing. Eventually, we use it to let ourselves off the hook, because that’s easier, too. www.marytrump.org/p/there-is-n...

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

It's all fun and games until these people are in charge of running our country for the next four years

We are WEAK!!!

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS A CITIZENS UNITED HO FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. OUR GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR THE OLIGARCHY ONLY. THE WHOLE WORLD SEES THE CORRUPTION OF WASHINGTON. CHECKMATE PUTIN. WE LOOK AS DEPRAVED AND INSANE AS RUSSIA.

Trump is a Nazi. And if you still support him after watching this 5 minute video, you're a Nazi too. This is literal, actual, authentic Nazi propaganda. This is how Hitler incited hate and violence. If Hitler was alive today, he'd sound exactly like Trump. #Fascism #Trump #News #Politics
