What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Traitors. This is treason.

Must read. Brilliant insights on anti-science policy.

They are anti-science because it destabilizes us and stops us from coming together to create legislation that is best for us instead for the plutocrats—us against them, and we have votes to wield!

If Alberta Premier Danielle Smith doesn’t push through a pipeline then her election funding from oil and gas companies will vanish.

I mostly use it by lying on it vertically and stretching the front of my chest. It really helps my thoracic spine mobility.

Plutocrats have intentionally NOT taken action on climate change because it destabilizes us. It’s a distraction that stops us from coming together to create legislation that would give them less profit.

I think the HoC needs a big jar in the middle of the floor that a politician needs to put a twoonie into each time they say something false, misleading, or heckle pointlessly during sessions.

Censorship is the mark of a weak regime.

About 125,000 transgender people are assaulted in the restroom every year.

No transgender woman has ever been convicted of assaulting a woman in a public restroom.

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

I hope so too, but she is more optimistic than I am. At this rate, we are going to destroy the whole fucking universe.

"They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.
