It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I legitimately think this article misses the mark, because Canadians are not avoiding travel out of some principled boycott of the USA over tariffs.

Not very reassuring.
Q: What guarantees Hamas disarms and that Israel doesn't resume bombing?
TRUMP: The first thing we're doing is getting our hostages back. After that we'll see.

I’ve been thinking about how the white moderate think about free speech. Where calling for violence and the dehumanization of entire groups of people is merely supposed to be pluralism at work rather than an a threat to that pluralism.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

No matter how horrifying MAGA appears, no matter how morally bereft, how hideously nihilistic, how pervertedly cruel, how shockingly stupid, how pitifully crass, there is one ironclad rule that has always applied to Trump in every respect: it is somehow always even worse than it seems.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

All Americans have access to every bit of information that you have access to. They are not being kept in the dark.
If they are ignorant about what's really happening, on some level that's a choice they're making about who to believe and what information to seek out.
