The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.

Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

That puts the “ass” in “mass” deportation.

If you’re Canadian and have you g ppl of voting age, remind them they can vote on campus from today (Apr 13) until Apr 16 and strongly encourage them to vote.

This interview with #DanielleSmith about #Poilievre was from yesterday on the extreme-right propaganda station Breitbart in the USA!

She also said she had been trying to get #Trump to ease up on threats until after the election to help Poilievre get elected!

Traitors.

N.Y. Attorney General Warns Hospitals Against Canceling Transgender Care (Gift Article) A White House executive order last week threatened to pull federal funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care. But not providing the care could violate state law, Letitia James said in ...

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

vance is lying and knows he’s lying but even if he weren’t, “separation of powers means the president is an elected despot” may be true in some other political system but it has never been true in the american political system

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.

Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

USAID Fraud Allegations: Fact vs. Fiction

Fact
Inspector General’s Investigations:
- USAID’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) actively investigates allegations of major fraud, corruption, and misconduct within its programs and operations, demonstrating accountability in addressing internal issues.

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.

The blithe tone of this headline and deck is chilling.

Tweet by Sawyer Hackett reads, "None of this is legal." Below, a series of headlines from major news sources appear: WSJ: "Trump Advisers Weigh Plan to Dismantle Education Department" AP: "Trump and Musk move to dismantle USAID, igniting battle with Democratic lawmakers" Reuters: "Exclusive: Musk aides lock workers out of OPM computer systems" PBS: "DOGE has requested and is being granted 'access to all SBA systems'" AFP: "Musk takes reins of US Treasury payments, sparking alarm"

Not one thing, nope.

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.

Tomi Lahren on Twitter writes: "Can you think of a Canadian product that’s better than an American one? Honestly curious."

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. 🧵

YouTube video by Coldplay The Astronaut (Live on SNL) 💫

On this day, 2 years ago, Coldplay performed a cover of ‘The Astronaut’ (english version) on Saturday Night Live.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Just RT’d this over at the Bad Place and it was like shaking a jar of red ants. #fun

What a month this week has been.

Lemon, it's Tuesday.

This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.

2 insurrections, same President.
