If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

For nearly a decade, leftist freaks like me have been campaigning to abolish ICE. Responsible mainstream voices mocked us as unrealistic. At this point, they’re right. Abolition doesn’t come close to what we need

Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.

So apparently Canada wasn’t mentioned in the just released U.S. Annual Threat Assessment “as a source of illicit fentanyl.”

AT ALL.

And yet Trump specifically cited fentanyl as THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION for starting a trade war with Canada using tariffs by executive order.

Proof the EO is illegal.

Yesterday on The Early Edition we spoke with three indigenous leaders - Kory Wilson, Melanie Mark and Val Napoleon - about what a threat to Canadian Sovereignty feels like to Indigenous people. It's a great conversation.
