The number of Canadians that want to flirt with “Fascism Lite”.
It’s where you are horrified by what is happening in the U.S. and loathe everything about Donald Trump….but think maybe the Canadian Conservative Party is on to something with their “war on woke” and should be given a chance.

I don't disagree with you, I have lived my entire life in #Alberta and I'm not about to lie down and rollover for this extreme rightwing populist government. There are more of us! Cheers!

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

Thirty-six years later, we still remember. Fourteen women, killed because they were women. We honour their dreams, their strength, and their right to live freely. We must never stop fighting gender-based violence.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

There is also a militant culture of radicalization and constant provocation on the Right, especially among young rightwingers: Every transgression is celebrated as a heroic revolt against the liberal norms they disdain – something that has fueled Fuentes’ rise to stardom on the Right.

Chatting with someone who complained about having to wait 16 hours at home for an Amazon refund pickup. I said that’s what you get for buying from a shitty company run by a MAGA oligarch. Speak out folks. Little interventions add up.

One of the things that has happened due to the Roberts Court’s feckless, Illogical and corrupt presidential immunity ruling is that many of his enablers and sycophants have failed to realize that just because he has immunity for illegal acts (“a dog’s obeyed in office“ & worse than dogs”) they don’t
