The American liberal mind is so conditioned to fear communism over fascism that literally with the rise of fascism they use fictional tales from the red scare to explain what’s happening today.

Fascism rises because liberals spend their time fighting a left-wing apparition.
They are creating an American gulag in plain sight, and legacy media isn’t covering it. Anyone who’s read Solzhenitsyn knows that the gulag was used to ‘dispose of’ unwanted political elements, not criminals or immigrants. Trump has made clear the ‘enemy within’ includes all of us who don’t bow.

When it comes to fighting hate, direct action is even more powerful than love.

One thing always remains true.

Liberals hate communism more than fascism.
So in practice, you are supporting the fascists. Good thinking communist!

I didn’t think I could respect and admire Pep more than I already did.

I was wrong.

Amazing coach, better human.

For who don't want hockey players or others being "political" - politics have a direct impact on the hockey community.

If "hockey is for everyone" then we need to vocally oppose ICE and what our government is doing to our communities and the impact it's having on our sport.

Abolish ICE.

Many many years ago I wrote a piece for Truthout about how immoral Libertarianism is.

Nothing holds more true now as they remain silent as the government overreaches and expands into every facet of our lives and murders people on the streets at will.

I don’t see the appeal of “bring it to congress” when it comes to Venezuela.

Suddenly attacking them and kidnapping Maduro is okay if the fascists in congress agree with it?

Hands off Venezuela, full stop.

Hockey games should end in overtime and not go to a shootout. Ties are okay.

San Diego FC has a serious issue with the culture they have developing in their fanbase. The amount of sexism being screamed at the woman referee, the homophobic slurs yelled back at fans calling them out for the sexism...

I want to love my local FC, but the fan culture needs a lot of work.

The NHL Players’ Association and the league’s Board of Governors have officially ratified a four-year CBA that will run through the 2029-30 season.

Negotiations were quick, coming to an end well over a year before the current CBA expires Sept. 2026.
