What in the heck is this about?!

Trump finally deploys National Guard to the Nation's Capital 4 years, 7 months, 5 days too late.

Oops

Resist and fuck things up at every opportunity. But don’t fool yourself that this is the One Big Thing that changes everything. It’s just the next step in a fascist takeover.

I understand why people believe Trump’s invasion of Washington DC is The Event but I think it’s more helpful to understand it as dialing up the heat on the boiling frog. Trump did this in LA. He’ll do it in D.C. with more boldness. And then he’ll do it again. Fascist takeover is never one event.

A clever tongue-in-cheek way that #YYC ‘s sandybrandpaper.yyc uses to express how we Albertans feel about particular “rats” in #Alberta, the province that “used to be rat-free”. 🤣

While Dani is spending time and our money attacking and robbing vulnerable people, hiding expenses, defunding our services and infrastructure and pandering to separatists, this is what is happening to our waterways. We cannot get this back.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump orders homeless he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

Here’s a great article on the racist, fascist, anti-American madness and violence Trump is about to unleash in a city with *plummeting* crime rates and *no* epidemic of unhoused persons.

This is thinly veiled martial law, and we Americans will not accept it.

The White House was made in a neoclassical style to honor the principles of the Roman republic. It was an intentional choice to differentiate the values of the new republic from the ostentation of European monarchs, who, at the time of the building of the White House, were obsessed with baroque.

When you’re definitely not guilty.

That’s right, we’ll tax ourselves until you beg for mercy!

Bluesky peeps: here's a quick survey worth supporting!

You'd think that these uncontroversial facts are things they'd get correct.

No one correct them though....

“Somebody has to take responsibility for it.. Ministers @melaniejolycan.bsky.social & @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social & Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social has to explain. It’s a legal commitment we made, and it is a commitment under international law, this is not a trivial matter”

We’re going to regret NOT defunding the police at this rate 😬

Trump is involuntarily transferring people from FEMA to ICE.

This is during hurricane season!

ICE is having trouble hiring people despite the $50k bonuses, and student debt forgiveness!

Borrowed from someone today. "My Premier is paying for lawyers supporting separatists while making us pay for our own COVID shots." Make it make sense. #abpoli #Alberta

“The shooter was either sick or believed he was sick, and blamed his illness on COVID vaccine — which is why he was targeting the CDC.”

You don’t know what you’ve got, ‘til it’s gone:

“…not just unkempt vegetation, but basic facility issues: pit toilets filled to the brim, no toilet paper, and trails blocked by downed trees. Hidden Lake, she said, is a well-loved, high-traffic route, making the disrepair even more concerning.”

Emory University shooting live: Suspect dead and cop killed Police are reportedly working on the theory that the CDC was the suspect’s target, who ‘blamed his illness on the Covid-19 vaccine,’ according to an unconfirmed report

The police think that the man who killed a police officer at Emory University today was seeking revenge on the CDC. He had an unspecified illness that he believed was caused by the COVID19 vaccine.
