I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

What is Canada doing?

Annexation, the slow way ..

Dizzy ★ @tindizzy.bsky.social · 19h

Yeah. You know it. And they are poised to annex Canada regardless of what the smug, arrogant “never happen” crowd insists.

The U.S. House is pushing H.R. 5518, a bill that would let U.S. officers
"operate on Canadian soil."
That's a sovereignty breach. Period.
Canada is not an American jurisdiction
—We won't allow foreign armed agents to enforce their laws here. If this is a way to force a 51st state situation it's a hard no.
Worse, this bill ties to ICE, an agency accused of wrongful detentions, deaths in custody, and systemic abuse. Against our Charter.
Canada must say no for sovereignty and for human rights 1/2

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

You know in the history books there’s going to be a mention of the moment the tide began to change in the takeover of America and there will be a picture of these frogs. 🐸 This is actually turning the tide by encouraging people to stand up together. And bring some brevity to the fight!

A poster made in the likeness of the Obama HOPE images but it's a frog, such as the inflatable frog in Portland, wearing a Stars and Stripes bandanna around its neck. Instead of HOPE it read HOP.

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "I respect the Canadian people and Canada's sovereignty... When POTUS bullies Canada, threatens to make them the 51st state, belittles them, undermines their sovereignty, that undermines the interests of our farmers and the people who work in our factories."

Health insurance premiums will rise by 75% for millions of people if they expire as planned at the end of the year.

That’s one of the major issues Democrats and Republicans are at odds over in the current government #shutdown.
