All regimes fall, eventually.

Something the US fascists should consider.
The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

Just watched the Minnesota public safety commissioner say that he "makes no judgements" as to the responsibility for the death of Good, and I have *never* yelled "Fuck you!" so loudly or emphatically at my TV in my life.

Jesus Christ. Pathetic.

I tend to think the PM is deploying the Grey Rock method for dealing with Trump, and presenting as boring a public front as possible. Tactically appropriate for dealing with an abusive narcissist, but I get why some find it unsatisfying.

But yeah, head and shoulders above Poilievre. No question.
here’s my latest for @nationalobserver.com on how despite the tepid response so far from the Carney govt re: the US, Poilievre is making the govt look like diplomatic geniuses bc he’s too busy sounding like that annoying kid in your 2nd year poli sci class

When you outfit your death squad with deadly weapons, give them masks, and tell them they are immune from consequences, they have a tendency to use them.

The murder of Good, and all the other murders committed by ICE, were premeditated.
Records from the Federal Procurement Data System reveal that ICE has increased spending on “small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing” by more than 600% compared to 2024 levels.

Yesterday was a literal confrontation between Good and Evil, and Good got murdered.

The symbolism playing out in the age of US fascism is....not subtle.

Trump is evil. His regime is evil. His supporters are evil.

I'm completely fucking done with pretending that there is any nuance to this.

Neofascist movements across the globe are desperate to replicate the success the Trump regime has had with ICE, and its campaign of kidnapping, ethnic cleansing, torture, and murder. Meanwhile, many political fence-sitters are too cowardly to even call it out.

We cannot fight what we cannot name.
Labour councillor thinks that the murder of a woman - with plans that political parties in the UK are specifically looking to emulate - shouldn't be political.

Labour have no intention in every challenging the far right - which is why they'll be next to follow unless we stand up to them.
How low can Polanski go? Weaponising the killing of the mother of a 6 year old girl, that’s how low.

Leadership clearly isn’t a Green Party strong point.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation.

THIS.

Remember, protecting the precious purity of white women from imagined threats is one of the main reasons that the US nazis are obsessed with ethnic cleansing and transphobia.

Her queermess will probably count against her to them, but still, they elected Trump to destroy brown lives, not white ones.
Actually seeing some discontent in the white militia movement chats that I monitor. White supremacists don't always like it when feds execute white people.

At some point, there is going to be war. A Fascist regime like MAGA will not permit a multicultural democracy like Canada to exist on it's doorstep. They are going to try and conquer us, and bring their ICE death squads to our cities.

Be ready, Canadians. It's coming.
America’s raid on Caracas, and subsequent talk of acquiring Greenland, if necessary by force, means military action is no longer unthinkable between two countries that have been peaceful since 1812, before Canadian independence
Canada’s armed forces are planning for threats from America
They started rebuilding in 2025, before Donald Trump’s most recent bid for hemispheric dominance

Renee Nicole Good was by all accounts I've seen, including from people I'm moots with who knew her, an amazing human.

She wasn't murdered because she was an amazing mother, poet, and kind and gracious human.

She was murdered because these fucking Gestapo on our streets believe they can do so.

I am really glad to see people around the world start to refer to ICE terrorists accurately as "death squads", because that is very much what they are. Kidnappers, torturers, and murderers. Sick, broken people, beholden to no-one but the regime. The quintessential fascist paramilitary.

we know regime playbooks here: smear the deceased, target the family, valorize the murderer both as supposedly innocent and with a sadistic delight in the murder itself.
I have an awful feeling they’re going to target the bereaved

This has to be the starting point for all Dems going forward.

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

This is the correct energy for dealing with fascist lies. Call them out, fast and unequivocally. Don't allow them to establish a false narrative.

It's time to get over whatever shit you haven't gotten over yet, Canada, because the former US has fallen to a nazi regime that murders people in the street, and they will be coming for us all soon enough.

You don't need to watch the video. It was murder.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.
