The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation.

MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

Mikie Sherrill: To have someone like Hegseth say that he’s going to put the Marines on the streets of America, that’s really dangerous, it’s dangerous for our civilization population, it’s not good for the Marines

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.

It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.

Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

His base does not care if he’s in the Epstein files. That is a big fat nothing burger. I do not believe that Musk is alluding to the fact that his money helped Trump win the election. I believe the election results were tampered with by Musk to benefit Trump. That’s the file I’m waiting to see.

I don’t think that’s what he means by “Trump would’ve lost the election“.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

Running in a biased riding is not meant to test Poilievre. It's meant to defy the will of the people of Carleton.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable.

And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Let’s be clear, what Poilievre is proposing - using the notwithstanding clause to change criminal justice in Canada- IS a step towards authoritarianism. All other things aside, even this alone utterly disqualifies Poilievre as a wannabe tyrant.

As authoritarianism rises globally, Canada still hands majority power to parties with just 30–40% of the vote.

We can’t keep risking our democracy like this.

It’s time for proportional representation—where every vote counts.

Hey Canada,

Lawyers are recommending you leave your main mobile phone at home and buy a burner phone if you need to travel to the US.

THIS MEANS YOU SHOULD NOT BE TRAVELLING TO THE U.S.!!!!
