They want to put "little green men" inside our borders like Russia did with Ukraine.

They can f*** right off.

Now you know why!
A number of vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up a combined $3,300 in automated speed camera fines.
The data comes as the Ford government looks to eliminate the use of speed enforcement cams. #cdnpoli

While I'm dismayed by the horrors we see every day, and by those who enable it, I still see a lot of good people.

I see you. You matter.

Don't give up.

Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz?

HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment?

We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.

This is classic abuser mentality. Abuser punches victim then gets upset when she dares to defend herself or when she looks to her friends.

We're not anti-American; We're merely not putting up with b.s.

Canadians are nice until somebody messes with us. Then it's FAFO time.

Interesting piece with @timothysnyder.bsky.social on what "freedom" means and how it's defined can change everything (and make us less free).

This is one of those concepts where you have a glass of wine and talk all night.

It's more than that. He was the leader of much vilification of those people. He knew what he was fomenting and took glee from it.

19 drones launched over several hours, from Russia and Belarus, into Poland, were not a mistake. Many of them did not carry explosives, so they had not gone astray in Ukraine....they were a probe of Poland, NATO and Trump.

And he demonstrates he knows full well what he is doing, what he is fomenting, when he demonizes individuals and whole categories of people. He demonstrates he knew what he was doing when he incited an insurrection. This man belongs in jail, but USA made him President instead.

I wish the media (and others) would stop calling extremists "conservatives".

Words matter. Every marketer who wants to influence your perception and behaviour knows that; The media knows it.

At least 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish air space last night. This was not an accidental breach or a mistake.

Because that's what he wants. He wants war, for his own ends, and he gets to use all the resources of the USA to steal, kill, and destroy whatever he wants.

And America will let him do it - or so it appears.

I think this is not merely "waste" in service of a vile and hollow ideology; It's about taking pleasure in making other people suffer.

It's that glee they get from inflicting destruction and pain that causes my mind to repeatedly think of the word 'demonic'.
