It is going to take so much work on the part of good people to pry this criminal enterprise out of your government. Work that needs to be done.

Say it loud!

I so appreciate you saying this! The naysayers are creating their own self-fulfilling prophesy, forgiving themselves (and others, including your elected representatives) in advance for not doing enough to stop the fascists.

*2015/16

The GOP could have disqualified him on the basis of his bankruptcies alone.

Trump should have been stopped at the first opportunity: 2914/15. Is there not a vetting process in the Republican Party to determine the good character of any candidates wanting to run under their banner?

Sunday thought: Cry, the Beloved Country But please don’t just cry for what we’ve lost.

Yes, weep for what we have lost. But don’t just weep. Turn these losses into a new beginning — based on what’s good in America and what has gone wrong. Some thoughts for your Sunday... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-cry-the-beloved-country

I was just down the street from the stadium when Crosby scored the winning overtime goal in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Such an explosion of happiness after the tension of the game! It was an amazing day in the city.

🇨🇦 Fingers crossed for 2026!

Two-thirds of Americans believe Trump has "gone too far" with ICE. The cruelty & extremism is out of control.

Our new ad features Joe Rogan asking "Are we really going to be the Gestapo?...Is that what we've come to?"

Check it out & share.

This is an example of failure by the media in covering Trump's crimes. They have to take off the kid gloves, for goodness sake.

Thank you for highlighting this.

Perhaps the long-held belief in 'American exceptionalism' is preventing Americans from acknowledging the reality.

The phrase 'this is not who we are' drives me K.r.a.z.y. 'This is not who we aim to be' would be much better.

Réponse parfaite! Je l'aime. Merci.
(and thank you, Google Translate)

The difference in how this has been handled in the UK is remarkable. I attribute it at least partly to 'American exceptionalism', which prevents acknowledging negative reality. This applies as well to legacy media's inability to wholly and honestly report on Trump's crimes in unambiguous language.

This petition on a Parliament of Canada website.
Signing takes little time and you risk nothing. I have read the terms and they are nothing that concerns me: contact info is not made public, is only used to verify your identity, and will eventually be deleted.

There is no valid reason for Poillieve not to get a security clearance. His refusal is awfully fishy.

Don't let extremists grab a foothold in Canada. Please sign to help keep Canada a place of good government that respects the rule of law and provides us with a civil, peaceful society.

Pass it on.

You wouldn’t know it by reading the New York Times either. Disgraceful.

Important for Canadians 🇨🇦 to know:
Extremists want to bring Trump-style anti-immigrant actions to Canada via conservative parties who are not doing enough to prevent the insidious takeover of their parties. Poilievre has especially exhibited a welcoming and dangerous stance toward such radicals.

This is how a real leader does it

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.

Trump’s New “Prison Camp” Threat Unleashes Fury Even in MAGA Country The next phase of ICE’s big ramp-up: a nationwide network of vast detention facilities. But guess what? Even parts of Red America are saying no.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994 The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void.

Here’s the Cato Institute report:

Their specially-chosen judges then allowed the Republicans to undo (via the court, by-passing elected representatives in Congress) Americans' rights to access abortion and to grant Trump immunity. And we can see where that has taken American society.

Premier Smith meddling in Canada's Supreme Court selection process is very worrying because recent events in the US show where this can lead. The Republicans manipulated the appointment of US Supreme Court justices in order to gain control of the court.

And Javani's going to a Washington prayer breakfast!?! Rather than acknowledging and rejecting the fact that Christian fundamentalism is fueling fascism in the US, he is choosing to celebrate it. This lack of care and awareness poses a danger to Canada IMO.

"The timing and spectacle of recent floor-crossings appears to many Canadians as an effort from you to demoralize Conservatives and the millions of citizens who vote for us,"... (CBC article).

Jivani is a self-promoting charlatan trying to appear otherwise.
"Mr. Jivani said he sees this as a non-partisan issue." (Globe & Mail article),
while at the same time he makes it a partisan issue with this partisan accusation in an email to PM Carney -

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Nice to see you sitting at your desk, working, thinking, on behalf of Canadians. So reassuring, especially with the rise of extreme fascism south of the border and the absolute inability of their government to function in any meaningful way. Thanks to PM Carney & to the people who voted for you.❤️

Meanwhile, back in Canada, a small sign of sanity on this planet. What a normal, lovely posting this is. Thank you!!!

Perhaps he wants to keep Noem around to keep the Democrats and hence the public focussed on HER impeachment. Keeps the spotlight off his incompetent, harmful and corrupt-beyond-measure leadership.

How dare they laugh.
