History doesnโ€™t exactly repeat โ€”
but it rhymes.

Authoritarianism rises one small step at a time.

This series, Signals of Fascism / Signals of Resistance, is my daily way of naming the dangerโ€”and reminding us we have power to resist it.

Be the resistance.

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

BS-to-English translation:
Trump had a humiliating day at the G7, realizing that his antics would get no play. Because his country is burning down, he accomplished nothing. He decided to lie and say the Middle East needed him, but no one buys it. The G6 adults will proceed without him.

(2/2) Contrast that with the GOP responding to mere criticism with violence and weaponizing the military against citizens. There are not good people on both sides. Good people on the right side of history: Refuse to be silenced. Stand up & speak out. Non violent protest is the only way to freedom.

(1/2) It's soberly striking that after the politically motivated murders & attempted murders of Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, everyone -- from the victims' colleagues to their kids -- are calling for peaceful resistance to tyranny & fascism, and to stand up for the democracy they cherished.

As a medical editor, seeing my trusted research and fact-check sources dissolve? Epically concerning. Actual medical research and advances being spoiled or cancelled? Epic tragedy. We're witnessing unrecoverable losses that will affect world health. This isn't hyperbole; it's a harbinger of death.

Poilievre says โ€œDefund the CBC.โ€ Thatโ€™s not a solutionโ€”itโ€™s a slogan.

CBC keeps power in check. Cutting it hands our media to U.S.-style, corporate control.

We need public media. We need the CBC.

DOGE fires nearly all staff at U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters D.C. employees of the institute, founded and funded by Congress, received late-night termination notices, though most of its overseas staff were left in place.

They can't spell "April"?

"The termination emails were riddled with mistakes โ€” with employeesโ€™ names, the month of April and even the instituteโ€™s title misspelled in places โ€” a telling sign of the rushed and haphazard nature of the operation..."
