I'm a proud Canadian. I have an English degree from the University of Toronto. I follow politics across the planet. I'm a supporter of democracy and I am against fascists. Is that asking too much?

Brown's very existence depends on resisting Trumpโ€™s desire to assert his own twisted view of reality. It's bad enough that his wrecking crew is pushing back against reason and science. The Belle Epoque is over, hastened by his fascist regime and sheer stupidity. The world sees the sham.

Funny to think how one group found disfavour with their original belief and then decided that they had a better interpretation of the divine. Over 45,000 changes were made and in each one that specific "congregation" believed they possessed the truth. And we're only talking about Christianity.

Did you know that there are over 45,000 sects of Christianity? They just can't get along and can't figure out how to celebrate their invisible sky-dog.

Paul Krugman published an article revealing that China has now almost doubled the electrical production of the U.S. The U.S. will never catch up. It's the end of the Belle Epoque for America.

Someone in L.A. finally figured out how to push back intelligently. More States need to do this.

It's tragic to see a country that once believed in the rules of law to have fallen so far. It's the end of the Belle Epoque America. What's also disturbing for the future is that it happened not with a bang, but a whimper.

This is the Guardian, which I write for and think is a hell of a lot better than US legacy media, but still! The story here is 1)Putin planted the idea 2) he's pretending to have full dictatorial powers and we don't have to go along with that 3) states set voting rules. bsky.app/profile/avin...

Trump:

On war criminal Putin: โ€œIโ€™ve always had a fantastic relationship with himโ€

On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: โ€œI wish her wellโ€

On pedophile Epstein: โ€œHeโ€™s a lot of fun to be withโ€

On J6: โ€œIt was a day of loveโ€

To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.

Voters in GOP-controlled states are passing progressive policies at the ballot, only to watch Republican legislators repeal them. Constituents need to decide what policies they want from their political partiesโ€”and actually demand them, by choosing candidates accordingly.

Gavin is fighting mad! As a Canadian who understands that you have to keep your elbows up when confronting Trump it's heartening to see him stand up.

ICE agents have already arrested and detained 151 Canadians, including 2 toddlers. Trump has turned America into an extremely dangerous country for people to visit. Why would anyone want to visit that lawless nation?

Crucial point @joycewhitevance.bsky.social makes in this discussion: Trump is exploiting laws (like the DC statute) that were written under the assumption that the president won't simply manufacture emergencies as pretexts by pulling them out of his ass. He does this with abandon.
