Evil does not arrive with horns and smoke, it has arrived in masks and brandishing handcuffs, breaking a mother and binding a child. America’s mask slips, and the devil beneath kisses the flag.

Luna-tic says, “Hi!”

A close-up photo of a white cat with black markings lounging on someone’s lap indoors. The cat has striking green eyes, a small black patch on its nose, and a larger black marking above one eye, giving it an expressive, slightly mischievous look. The background shows part of a gray sweater, a door, and a leafy green plant in soft lighting.

Ford tried to use it to gag unions. Legault used it to ban hijabs. Moe and Smith waved it like a threat. And Ottawa’s fine leaving the Notwithstanding Clause as-is? Then what’s the point of a Charter if Premiers can scribble all over it with their crayons?

Sad… but even more sad is that they won’t round up all Trump supporters - even though he doesn’t need them anymore.
I guess cutting Medicaid will have the same effect.

Is that the same Graveyard where the POS stood with a family over the grave of a soldier and his family with his blue suit and red tie and a thumbs up hand gesture?

Canadian ANTIFA members are buried in the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces. And sadly, all over the world.

It’s the paradox of breaking democracy to save it.
I thought the Texan guard in Oregon was the end. But… the line keeps moving. Whatever’s on the other side must be darker still. They call it patriotism. I call it the slow unmaking of the United States.
