Ukraine is trying to ensure the borders of European countries remain inviolate, while Trump is trying to violate them.

50% of Conservatives are traitors β and the other 50% enable them.
The CPC either needs to split into two separate parties, or enact serious change from within. Either way, Maple MAGA needs a new home.
Because, right now, their very existence is a threat to Canada.

This is such a cool idea! Not long term "networks" of young profs that create and cement in in-groups and out-groups, but summer schools, tailored to the acute needs of the young PI. Transient, but tailored, tidal and totally timeous, too. Terrific. Try today!

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.
It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.
Wake up: fascism is here.
