Bluesky is great! Much more diverse topics.

I still default to politics but this time i hope to focus more in Canadien 🇨🇦 issues. It's never been more important.

I will still pray for my American 🇺🇸 friends.

We’ve all heard the F word quite a bit these days. I’m talking, of course, about fascism.

But what is its exact definition? What forms has it taken in the past? And is it happening here? https://youtu.be/jWYqrVsBvwI

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Stephen Miller’s wife Katie Miller: “We are removing every single illegal alien… a majority of those removed have had serious violent crimes.” 🤥

@bakarisellers.bsky.social : “That’s FALSE.”

Abby Phillip: “Based on DHS’s own data, a majority have NOT had violent criminal records.”

It is and I think it is obvious who is holding them back and they are all pushing 80.

I love my grandma but I don't want her to be running anything anymore.
It sometimes feels like the Democratic party is complicit in its own demise. It's just sheer luck that the MAGA movement is developing cracks because not even they want to protect another pedophile.
There's still loyalty among them but it is waning.

It's really hard to understand why Schumer and Jeffries aren't screaming about the almost daily lies of Karoline Leavitt. Isn't that their job? They should be replaced before the midterms, but they probably won't be. Come on Dems. Forget tradition and alliances and put the country first.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The biggest victim here is JD Vance’s wife Usha who is being disrespected in so many ways. Constantly humiliated by Vance on stage.

Remember she met him before he was a politician or fascist, in law school.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

"This is a moment that demands a response. If Dems can’t run on a unified platform that centralizes and prioritizes taxing the ultrawealthy in order to dismantle their stranglehold on our govt, then they need to get out of the way for people who will."

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

She has no idea what advanced imaging is. I’m surprised she didn’t say “The President has an amazing imagination, and he used his advanced imaging to imagine the beautiful ballroom that is under construction right now.”

All reports are that ZERO PLANS were submitted, ZERO permits were given for ANYTHING, let alone demolition!
Note, that if any museum was contacted about preserving parts, items, artifacts... the scale of little donny dick-tator's destruction temper tantrum would have become known!

Another video snip every Dem should be replaying - this pres only cares about his ballroom (& golf & "winning a Nobel" (only b/c Obama won)) - IOW, only himself

Not the farmers, not consumers, not healthcare, not crime, not "drug wars" or any wars - himself

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

It is absolutely unbelievable how many people are turning out for this. I love how everyone is staying peaceful. It's exactly what Trump doesn't want.
