How are we living in a world in which it’s necessary, in referring to a law enforcement operation, to use the phrase “agent with the mohawk”?

Charlie Angus: Canada is fed up. Not only will Canadians not return to visiting the US, they are willing to take serious economic hit to stand up for their sovereignty in the face of Trump’s gangster aggression. They’re not buying US products and they’re asking retailers not to even stock them.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Fifty dollars. Meanwhile Trump is using the office of presidency to steal tens of billions of dollars in just the first months of this term.

Maybe one silver lining to the current cloud of ICE overreach is that more of us will be aware of this and similar laws and can thus fight to change them.

MAGA-world’s use of Christianity as a cover for their white nationalist power grab is both un-Christian and un-American. Not to mention unconstitutional.

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what historians in the future make of the great Frog Resistance of the 2020s.

AngryOldMarxist @angryoldmarxist.bsky.social · 2d

To be fair, the New York Times will no doubt run an opinion piece on this story—explaining why what looks like an unconstitutional use of excessive force against someone who has committed absolutely no crime…is actually just fine.

Trump has let the world know that he’s for sale to the highest bidder. That “free” jet he received from Qatar got them a military base on American soil. What this deal may wind up costing American citizens—whether in taxes or weakened national security—is incalculable.

Interesting—so maybe those venezuelan “drug runners” Trump keeps blowing up just haven’t paid him his bribe this month?

AngryOldMarxist @angryoldmarxist.bsky.social · 2d

Damn, that jet is going to wind up costing us a lot more than we thought.

They want to rename the prize after Trump? I guess it’s true that the Unconstitutional Taco Cankle Clown Prize does have a certain ring to it.

The only surprise here is that any Canadians at all are still traveling to the US. I guess it’s like the way you sometimes have to make a trip to the dump.

Highlighting the banality and the absurdity of their ham-fisted, cosplaying fascism.

And what’s even more dangerous than religious fundamentalism? Hypocritically weaponized religious fundamentalism.

Trump’s use of Christianity as a cover for white nationalism is both anti-Christian and un-American.

The way the NY Times has both-sided Trump’s authoritarian takeover is unbelievable. I’m glad they didn’t cover WWII in the same way. If they had we wouldn’t just be seeing a rebirth of fascism in 2025–we might instead have seen our democracy fall to fascism in the 1940s.

The brilliant British philosopher and historian Isaiah Berlin agreed.

Chicago activist Fred Hampton saw the answer to this kind of “law enforcement” overreach more than fifty years ago. That’s why the FBI eventually murdered him.
