The regime in the US is doing ethnic cleansing and mass kidnapping, and in doing so are traumatizing entire generations of children. Pure depravity.
This is why we boycott all US goods and travel. Not just tarrifs. Every dollar given to Trumps economy is a dollar spent on crimes against humanity.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

The world is shuddering in revulsion as it watches the former US collapse into fascist authoritarianism and ethnic cleansing.
Hopefully, voters will elect candidates who have the moral courage to denounce such crimes, instead of those who shamelessly copy the tactics and rhetoric of the far-right.

It's honestly remarkable that, in just over a year, Canadian attitudes have gone from only 19% saying we're on the right track (just before JT resigned) to now 42%.
The Mark Carney effect is no joke!

You can't defeat the far-right by appropriating their language or tactics. People who are really sold on neofascism probably aren't going to go for neofascism-lite.
What you can do, is give those who have been manipulated and driven by nihilism towards the far-right a better, more hopeful option.

There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton.
It's Greens Vs Reform.

this, along with eating at a restaurant and then kidnapping the staff, or laying out a thanksgiving dinner to taunt hungry imprisoned children before keeping it for themselves, are the kind of violations against fundamental principles of dignity that provoke the gods to bestow generational curses.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

this is why its super important for democratic politicians and liberals to *make noise* about things. most people do not follow politics, certainly not like we junkies do. when you make a ton of noise about stuff it bleeds over into normie world and shapes opinions.
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.
