“On Jan. 6, when Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell asked — BEGGED — Trump to send the National Guard, he wouldn’t do it. When our government was TRULY under attack — the first attack on our gov’t from within since the Civil War — he wouldn’t do it.”
— Keith Edwards

What happened last night and today was manufactured propaganda by the Trump admin to justify using the military against Americans. Let us be clear: the military should never police civilians without a request from the state. So much for the so-called party of states’ rights and law and order.

1st, I don’t think one can do this outside of a polling station. This should be considered voter intimidation
2nd, imagine walking around like this thinking you’re cool by flying a hate flag? That's a special kind of idiotic and despicable behaviour that has no place in our country

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

Donald Trump thought Canada was an easy mark.
But we come from a long line of fascist fighters.
Canada will not break. We will not bend. We will not kiss the gangster ring.
Please share this footage of my Elbows Up tour stop in London.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

“There was no explanation, no warning. He led me to a room, took my belongings from my hands and ordered me to put my hands against the wall. A woman immediately began patting me down”

Jasmine is using her platform to tell the stories of other women detained by ICE (including another Canadian).

We are assuming this was a planetary scientist traveling to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Unbelievable to hear a Canadian PM say this. Solidarity.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

This is a line from the Hobbit film, but still very much worth sharing as work inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 69. 2/11/25 … Elon Musk was in the Oval Office today having a press conference while Trump had to sit there quietly on babysitting duty.

Trump sat silently while President Musk held court in the Oval Office, looking annoyed as Musk’s kid picked his nose. Meanwhile, Musk’s allies push judicial impeachments, Trump is furious at low deportation numbers, and Trump's Gaza plan hits roadblocks👇

Good read challenging Musk's reported $40m disinformation ad he bought for Super Bowl -

In 1923 Adolf Hitler incited an insurrection against the German government.

He was tried, given a slap on the wrist, and became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, Hitler claimed the trial was political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of /1

Some days (weeks? Years?) grind you down to the bone. It’s hard to create when you don’t feel joy; hold on to the things that spark a little joy, a moment’s smile. Hope is strength. In that spirit… sketching, to remind myself. Keep fighting. Keep sharing. Keep creating.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.
