In my riding Green was incumbent. The vote was split between:
- people who believed the incumbent would beat con (19%)
- people who voted to give lib seats (26%)
- people who like the NDP provincial govt (19%)
- and the 35% who thought cons should win

This MP does not represent our demographics.

Massive protests in Serbia and Hungary.

Protests outside the US embassy in Greenland.

The US, with a population magnitudes larger, can't manage to get together the same numbers, even accounting for the dispersion of their geography.

Larry came to testify against the anti-trans youth health care bill, but had an epiphany and changed his mind.

Section 202 deals with accountability and the ability to END the state of emergency.

The powers granted to a president during a state of emergency are sweeping and do not have to relate to the emergency. Sec. 202 was the government's attempt to rein that in.
The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

And here the final pieces of the dictatorship click into place.
We have to talk about the absolutely insane CR the GOP has proposed.

This bill formally abdicates Congressional authority over the budget and allows the Executive to sequester funds for any reason or no reason at all.

The cover-up…

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

I love DGAF Trudeau. PP still won't get his security clearance and still doesn't want to be told about plausible foreign interference threats within his party. The "generous" take is that he wants plausible deniability. #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvVD...

Support Al Green and let the traitors know what you think. #3E #EndOligarchy
I created a Contact List for all the Democrats who voted to censure Al Green for his courageous action during Trump's recent address to Congress. Please call and let them know their cowardice and complicity is shameful.

You mean the same DOGE that has access to the entirety of Social Security & Treasury? Those guys we were told are cyber geniuses?
The folks whose emails are in the wild?
Those people?
It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Americans are going to have to ACT if they want to save their country. The longer you wait, the higher the cost will be.

You have power.

Apathy, "just getting through," and "waiting for it to be over" are complicity. What will YOU do?

If you're expecting an end will just naturally occur, you may need to rethink your assumptions.

It's important to count ALL deaths caused by this regime. That includes deaths due to:
- loss of job
- loss of medical
- loss of housing
- violence by those feeling empowered
- violence by authorities

Weigh all of them against what it will take to stop this.
On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.
