The lies are the point. The lack of investigation is the point. Gaslighting us about videos we've all seen is the point. Disobeying courts is the point. Falsely calling protesters domestic terrorists is the point.
You've never wanted anything as much as Donald Trump wants a civil war.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

We are living next door to an evil and despotic regime.
There is no peace, no getting along as long as the United States allows this kind of depravity.
Canada must stand up for the rule of law.

Trump shared an altered map showing Canada, Greenland, Venezuela + Cuba as U.S. territory. It’s absurd — and unsettling. CBC breaks down what he shared, where it came from, and why it matters. This is why public-interest journalism exists.

I worked for the government. They gave me a phone (starting with a BlackBerry). Every single thing I did on that phone was intended to be (and was) related to my job. I had to hand it in when I resigned.
That is our phone! Hand it it!
