I truly want to be wrong. But when you compare against history how this slide works, this IS what's happening.

I mean, the voting machines were just purchased, the gerrymandering, the overt oppression of dissenters, etc.

This isn't the movies, this is how fascism happens.

I hope I'm wrong, but I haven't seen much reason for optimism.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians.

We have a lot to be thankful for.

And the Democrats have been fairly listless in defense of their namesake.... At this rate, after they get decimated in the midterms (which is going to happen) they'll dissolve, formally. Even if they don't, the Heritage Fnd will attack Venezuela to create a war/negate any election

Turning American farmland into real estate to sell to foreign countries for building bases was always the plan.

It's 1:25 a.m. in Los Angeles, I'm sitting at my computer, I'm here on #Bluesky, I can't stop crying and my eyes are puffy and I'm having a tough time breathing.

We are living in a dictatorship and I don't know what to do or who to call so I'm telling you.

Dear Pete Jokestra,

This is another reason why this Canadian cannot get passionate about any partnership with the US...

US fan ugliness at the Ryder Cup was merely a reflection of Trump’s all-caps America

European players were subjected to slurs and crude insults about their families. They were no surprise as public discourse in America has broken down

Stop and think: ANTIFA is an idea and it's "anti-fascist" and US government had just declared that they are overly against the resistance to fascism...

Take a bow, free-dum. Stupidity is winning.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

FYI: The FBI director doesn’t have to authorize the Deputy Director to allow personnel to speak to the press. The Deputy Director can make that call on their own.

I would agree with this if we completely forget the about have her father did when we went from the Straight talk express to being a talking head as a presidential candidate (and picking the most ridiculous running mate.)

Meanwhile Hoekstra is whining about "not finding a Canadian that's passionate about partnering with the US..."

He needs to give his head a shake...(so we can hear the rocks rattle...?)

🇨🇦 Gnyp @gnyption.bsky.social · 19d

Dear Peter (Jokestra):

This is why you cannot find a Canadian that (who is sane) that wants to partner with your country.

Sincerely,

Canada

Re: your recent video about the end of free speech in the US

protectdemocracy.org/work/the-aut...

This article is US based and from three years ago. I wonder if this was targeted at the last administration, as a stretch, and brought to life by the current one?

The Authoritarian Playbook - Protect Democracy

Today’s authoritarian playbook is a process that happens piecemeal and is hard to distinguish from normal political jockeying.
