Well, I've never been associated with anyone who has ever been to prison. Still, Trump is not only a felon, but I can connect him to over a dozen people who have been to jail or prison, including child predators, child sex traffickers, mobsters and even murderers. So there is that.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

If Biden could time-travel, the escalator in the UN would not be the one he would have broken.

Murica doesn't understand, Canada fights fascists. We stormed the Juno Beach. We were the tip of the spear. We fight fucking fascists. We get it, you embrace the fascist Nazi reality show host, you love him. We do not, Fuck you, and fuck your Fuhrer. #ElbowsUP🇨🇦

First, he has taken away healthcare for the seniors and disabled, and now education and support for the disabled.
He has spent more tax money on golfing than he is saving by cutting this funding.

So let me see if I understand Mike Johnson, me attending the “No Kings” this weekend make me “hate America”, and “pro-Hamas”. I say to him eat shit!! I served this country in the military for over 20 years. I consider protesting the basis of why I served.

We were there this summer. We're considering buying a campground out there to retire early. My husband is from there and has family in St. Molo.

The government tried to institutionalize my husband because he's blind. If I were born 10 years earlier, they would have done that to me. Our parents fought for our education, and as a result, we have good jobs, own our home, and contribute to society. This is an expensive mistake.

We must fight for balanced media instead of corporate-owned outlets. Currently, four right-leaning companies dominate, prioritizing shareholders over Canadians. The only public outlet is often called for defunding because it tries to present the opinions of both sides.

Then we need to aim at the correct targets. This led to the downfall of the US. The right is hoping to break the left, which is why we always end up voting strategically. NDP won in my local area, and the Liberals won in the Federal election. On the 18, no tyrant rallies will be here too nokings.org

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

I agree, and I think the land doesn't belong to us. I definitely do not believe it belongs to Big Oil. Big oil should be our target.

Carney has screwed over the disabled, too. I am a wheelchair user. But one guy thinks we are inhuman, the other is trying to save the country. The right can unite the nazis, Zionists, Christian nationalists, tradwives and incels. We can't accomplish anything except alienate each other on the left.

I am not going to do whataboutizm with rasist morons who can't think critically. The conservatives will convince you you can't afford it, but thinking critically is free, try it sometime.
