No matter how bad it gets, people still show up. Love that “Don’t bite the hands that feed you” sign.

If anyone’s interested, the Red Card resource mentioned in the news coverage “created by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) and are available in 16 languages from Spanish to Haitian Creole to Tigrinya.” Anyone wanting to leave these lying around, you don’t need to order them. Just buy a few business card printer sheets and DIY. …

“It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, sometime yesterday

Trusting your question isn’t rhetorical.

Jokes aside, the Christian Dominionists running the show want the world to burn. It’s their best case scenario, endgame or whatever. But before THAT happens, they’re meant to make God’s laws in heaven Man’s laws down here, carve their faces into a few mountains, take the last grain of profit from the earth. He with the most stuff wins because God thinks like Santa (if you have more stuff, you’re a very good boy). Don’t overthink these Good Folk. Hitler and his nazis were exactly the same flavour of Imperialist Expansionist genocidal nutbars.

They’re evil, is why.

Hence our current speedrun towards armegeddon. It’s why they’re all about endless expansion for the O&G and military industries. It’s why they have such a violent hate-on for that environmentalist kid, Thunberg. Hope and international co-operation for the common good are absolutely their enemy. Their World To Come requires war.

If you think like they do, of course you want to piss off anyone willing to work with their neighbour. People getting along is bad for business.

Why wait?

Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Sheinbaum discussed the deep people-to-people ties, the strong trade and investment relationship between Canada and Mexico, and the importance of preserving North American competitiveness and prosperity. They spoke about the imposition of U.S. tariffs on both countries, as well as their respective efforts to enhance border security and combat the production and distribution of illegal drugs. The leaders agreed to continue working together in areas of common interest and to enhance the strong bilateral relations between Canada and Mexico.

Prime Minister Trudeau and President Sheinbaum agreed to remain in close contact.

The Westons and Waltons of the world are cackling about this right now, guaranteed.

O weird… Across every platform, I kept reading this would never happen and was just a distraction from some other terrible thing - or if it did happen it’d be our fault for paying attention in the first place (and Daddy drinks because you cry) - and here we are again. Murka doing exactly what they threatened to do.

Looking forward to Trudeau’s response at 6. And the fuck Trudeau brigade can get bent.

Since 2016 I’ve been hearing nonstop “don’t alienate your allies,” “civilized discourse,” “both sides” and on and on. Meanwhile my enemy is rage-quoting Romans 13 and advocating for immediate executions of political opponents.

Now those sort of hateful bloodthirsty fruitloops are writing memos in the White House to get rid of anyone standing in the way of God-Trump’s rule in the Whitehouse (and on earth amen). And this time they know how to break all the systems in place to protect people from evil and/or amoral folk after already having a kick at them.

An MP I really admire in Ontario is pushing for Elections Canada to protect our electoral process from the Grand Twit’s interference, so that’s something. I’d prefer a ban.

Even though the Proud crowd are big operators in Canada, banning Yankee social media would maybe help lower the ragebait volume a bit. Whatever makes a dent.

Really well-put together article. ty for posting it.

Every time someone posts the latest daily poll that shows change is impossible and what they’re predicting is inevitable, I need to remember that quote.
