A Rogue Nation on the High Seas Trump is treating the military like his personal mercenaries.

“if he can order the Navy to operate as a presidential hit squad on the high seas, any number of grim hypotheticals could become reality sooner than Americans might expect,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

we knew this from the data but there really is nothing these freaks love to do more than assault women

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are.

We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

Remember when people were criticizing comedians for things they said actually said and even though nothing actually happened to them, Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle and all the “edgy” comedians said the “cancel culture” was coming from the left?

Good times.

i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back

How is this 2025?

So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk’s murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it’s a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns.

See America? This is how you do it.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Charlie Kirk was just shot and killed.

This moment is horrifying in several ways. Political violence is always wrong.

His murder is also already being used among bad actors to fan the flames of further division, hatred and violence.

Including here in Canada:

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Newsweek Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths 'Unfortunately' Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment PUBLISHED APR 06, 2023 AT 05:39 PM EDT UPDATED APR 07, 2023 AT 08:44 AM EDT

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."

He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.

I have watched my 75 year old father-in-law spend the last decade as a primary caregiver for my m-i-l with Parkinson's. Just watching the love and care he provides to her brings a tear to my eye. This was a very traditional marriage, now he cooks, cleans and cares. That's a man, that's a partner.

YouTube video by Toronto Public Library Tim Snyder: On Freedom

@steveboots.bsky.social watched this this morning and found the conversation and definitions around negative freedoms useful considering Poilievre and how he framed his objectives.

This makes perfect sense to me. Seeing what separatist family in Alberta is posting online makes it feel like far too many conspiracies to even attempt this though. Globalist conspiracies, antivax stuff and then underlying it all this separatist stuff. Makes me really sad to see.

He also took this hit in order to protect us from the conservatives. If he’d forced an election a long time ago the NDP would have picked up seats and been stronger, but the conservatives would have dominated. He threw himself on the sword and PP lost his riding. Won’t forget that.

A Mother and Father Were Deported Under Trump. But What Happened to Their Daughter? The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States.

This is fucking barbaric. We must, collectively, ensure this child is well cared for and reunited with her parents. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/w...

Merci beaucoup Quebec! You saved Canada's butt last night ❤️🇨🇦⚜️❤️

As a Canadian not in the Carleton riding I would also like to thank the people are Carleton!

He certainly doesn't run Canada... Unless you count sending us running in the other direction from his MAGA stink

Let's hope all those Conservatives that were so offended by an "unelected leader without a seat in the house" will remember just how offensive they found that.

These last 4 months have been a really long year already....I can't tell you the boost this would give me.

'He Wants to Take a Blowtorch to the Welfare State' | The Tyee Martin Lukacs’s new book takes a hard look at Poilievre’s agenda, how Liberals shaped the current moment and what the left needs to do next. A Tyee Q&A.

This is a very interesting read. It's the most articulate analysis I've read of the genesis of PP's politics. Also, read the comments.
