I bought a copy a couple weeks ago. It's very well written 'hard' sci-fi by a scientist.

Toxic Faith. Christian nationalists are betraying the core values of the Christian faith in their war on #immigration.

In other words, say something we don't like and we can shoot you. And listen to a politician who calls us something we don't like, we can shoot you.

By calling Trump's bluff, Mark #Carney in #Davos essentially pointed out the obvious: the tyrant has no clothes, and called on world leaders to stop going along with the pretense. Trump only has power if we bend the knee to get along with him out of fear.

Mr. Carney, your Davos speech was brilliant and pitch perfect. You said what had to be said, and you make us proud to be Canadian. We won't bend the knee to tyrants, and he can threaten all the tariffs he wants. We'll hang tough.

Canuck here. Bessent is either stupid or lying. (Both?) We are expanding our trading options since Trump has threatened us and Greenland. We are also moving much closer to the EU. The EU is the 3rd largest economy in the world, so we'll be just fine without America, thank you. We're angry as hell.

Make Slavery Great Again Leading Christian Nationalists think slavery was a good thing

Doug Wilson and his minions hold extremely dangerous ideas. For starters, slavery wasn't so bad and that 'blacks were better off as slaves.' It's sick beyond words and we need to be shouting it from the rooftops.

Of course they are. They plan to bring slavery back - probably by a different name - like 'prisoner reform'. Supporters are already saying slavery wasn't so bad, and that 'blacks were better off as slaves.'

This new satire is about school kids who dress as fairies to protest against 'bullies'. It spreads across the US, attracting the wrath of a narcissist president who orders ICE to arrest the kids. Using lots of humour, it's a bold tale against Trump and fascism.

Thanks. We in Canada are rooting for the good folks in Minnesota. I hope the general strike is huge and widespread. Trump needs to be stopped. We are taking his threats against Canada seriously, and don't want his Nazi thugs up here.

Yes, agreed. I'm not hiding behind white privilege - whites will be rounded up too. My intention is just that the racist ICE Gestapo focus more on people of colour.

Canadian here. I loved Carney's speech and am so glad he's our PM. He said what we are all thinking. If the payback comes, so be it. We don't bow down to bullies or lick Nazi boots. We need to be like Norway in 1940, who resisted Hitler even though they knew they would lose a military confrontation.

The problem has always been the people who obey. People who follow orders, excusing it as 'I'm just following orders - I can't be blamed.' The common defense by Nazis at the Nuremburg trials was 'I was just following orders'.

The Nazis in power will bring slavery back by, first, minimizing and re-writing its history. 'It wasn't so bad. Don't exaggerate'. Then re-introduce full fledge slavery through the private prison system: arrest black and brown people, then send them out to work as prisoners via 'reform' programs.

They will bring slavery back through prison labor if we let them. The 'Christians' who support Trump said slavery wasn't so bad, and Blacks were better off as slaves. Charlie Kirk said as much. Trump complained that slavery was portrayed as too negative.

Yes. Canadian here. We're doing that too. My wife is American (we live in Canada now), and she fully supports boycotting US. We need to hit Trump and his sycophants in the pocket book - it's the only thing they care about. The best thing would be for the US stock market to crash hard.

Just in case you forgot why we don't like Nazis in this country, dumbasses. And why we're not interested in becoming the 51st state.

Canadian here: 'most Americans hate him too.' You put him in office twice. So do something about it. Where are the Democrat leaders - largely silent and missing in action from what I can tell. Where is the serious pushback in the Senate? Serious response has been weak and timid at the top.

We're going to annex Minnesota. I'm pretty sure their good with that, eh. First thing we do is kick out ICE.

And Tucker Carlson just nodding along and not challenging the stupid Russian statements with the obvious facts, such as England and France have nukes too, and that Russia started the war, not Europe.
