We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Each of the six bombs Trump just dropped on Iran costs $33.5 Million dollars. Each one.

Each Arrow missile the US deploys to intercept an Iranian missile costs between $3 Million and $4 Million dollars. Each one.

Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose.
He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu.
Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

The antiwar President is taking us to war. Does ANYONE believe that if Trump hasn't ripped up the Iran deal for no reason, and Kamala Harris had won, we'd be going to war now? Pathetic stuff.

Thanks so much to @meiselasb.bsky.social for the huge shout out today over my work of helping unify resistance to Trump's fascism.
Canada is the front line in the fight for democratic values.
We need people to get out and vote to stop MAPLE MAGA.

This is specifically about universities. It is very important to see how fascists and authoritarians in other countries have attacked them. And to think, as Gessen does here, about constructive responses.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Have you signed the petition to strip Elon Musk-olini of his Canadian citizenship?
Mr. Musk is pissed.
He has posted snarky comments claiming Canada is not a real country.
We can make this the largest parliamentary petition in CDN history.
Please sign and pass on.

I see this floating around. Can we remember that individuals are NOT an entire culture? He’s just one man. Also, Musk is acting the buffoon for attention. Can we stop giving him energy and assigning such great importance to every word he utters???

Great. Onward.

Intéressante réflexion:
" (...) les systèmes IA ne peuvent pas créer d’art, mais peuvent seulement reproduire de l’esthétique en se débarrassant des artistes, et c’est justement ce que recherche ce camp politique. « L’esthétique creuse est intimement liée à la montée du fascisme »
Pourquoi l'imagerie générée par IA est la nouvelle esthétique fasciste
Le film généré par IA faisant la promotion de la « riviera de Gaza » voulue par Trump interroge le rapport du pouvoir fasciste à l’art.

Let it all come out. There will be a reckoning. Zelensky is a hero.
Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president...

The assumption that people who have no relationship to an experience are unbiased and those who do have a relationship are biased is a stupid prejudice. Often direct experience dispels established assumptions about rape, prison, etc..... Wrote about that a few years ago.
