Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Pay attention folks. Danielle Smith and the Alberta MAGA machine are using the Donbas playbook.
This isn't about "independence" it is about sedition and subservience to Trump.

The clean up man they're sending our way
4.4 million US citizen children under 18 live with at least 1 unauthorized parent, according to Congressional Research Service. crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...

This is a plan for the military round-up & deportation of several million US citizens. 6% of all *US citizen* children.

Europe and India are making history today.

We have concluded the mother of all deals.

We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.

This is only the beginning.

We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

Canada, EU, Australia, please just BAN Tiktok, Twitter/X, Facebook, Threads, Instagram altogether, to protect your citizens.
UPDATE: TIKTOK IS COOKED. Our videos went from tens of thousands to 0.

What has to happen for Danielle Smith to be charged with sedition by the federal government?

@mark-carney.bsky.social
@charlieangus104.bsky.social
Danielle Smith is a traitor. She has been trashing the incredible "Alberta advantage" in education, health care, the rule of law. Now she is out to destroy our country.
Let's call this for what it is - sedition.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Canada has immense talent and resources. We are a democratic nation that believes in the rule of law. We must consider the price we will pay to ensure that our children live in a nation free from the intimidation of the United States.
It's time for Canada to become true, north, strong and free.

Totally agreed. This thread 👇 summarizes approach in several countries to preparing for crises of all sorts, and recent thinking about how Canada can become more resilient.
Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going.
Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

Russians have razed these Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russians bring is death and destruction.

And in the cities they cannot reach, russians destroy infrastructure to freeze people to death.

We must help Ukraine survive this genocide. Stand with Ukraine.

This!
Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

New rule: If you're a Democrat and legally carrying a gun, that's grounds for death

Where is the NRA?

Where are the Second Amendment advocates?

The cowardice, deception, hypocrisy and silence of the Trump Admin and Republicans is deafening.

The Canadian prime minister even spoke of a “rupture” between the U.S. under Trump and its Western allies that would never be repaired.

UEFA should boycott over Greenland.

CONMEBOL should boycott over Venezuela.

CAF should boycott over USAID cuts.

Everyone should boycott because of ICE.

No one should come to the U.S. under Trump.

I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.

But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.

Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.
