I don't understand why transition housing that will house chosen best prospects for transition housing is more dangerous for a neighbourhood than a bunch of new apartment buildings. Everyone getting a tiny house will have had to jump thru hoops to get one. No such hoops for apartments...

This explains EVERYTHING!

I learned how to read using phonics. I still sound things out when I'm in a pinch.

Online, people say they don't like to read. No wonder. After reading this, many literally don't know how.

We wonder how we are here politically....

Maybe it's this!

"Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience."

Margaret Atwood is taking longer grocery shopping because she is checking the provenance of every item.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trumpโ€™s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

F Is for Fascism CBC called the other day for an interview about the apparent rise in swearing in politics.

F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism.

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, โ€œHell No!โ€ Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesnโ€™t need your support, just your silence.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the presidentโ€™s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful โ€” I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I donโ€™t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain whatโ€™s going on.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I hate it when Putin speaks and people quote him seriously, analyzing his words, searching for meaning, trying to understand him as if heโ€™s ever uttered a single word of truth.

There was no "battle" at Wounded Knee.

It was a massacre.

Over 300 Sioux people, many women and children, were butchered.

Hegseth is praising and rewarding the murderers.
