Our biggest shortcoming is our lack of imagination.
We struggle with paradigm shifts. That’s why we’re not acting on the climate crisis. We can’t imagine the ship really is sinking. That we have but hours to prepare. We still think we’ll be in NY harbour by Wednesday.

Amazing how complacent everyone remains.
It's not like the administration has been subtle about their intentions: To lie, steal, murder & cheat their way to absolute power.
"How could we have known the numbers were cooked?"
BECAUSE TRUMP SAID THEY WOULD BE. REPEATEDLY.
Fool me once…

Why is a jobs report by an admin that fired its impartial statisticians, continues to cover up Epstein and is blatantly fabricating narratives about the Good and Pretti murders BEING REPORTED AS FACT?

Then you'll agree that too few in the rest of the country are mobilizing.
It has to be a general strike. The stock market tanking is the only thing that has ever moved Trump's needle.
You aren't just dealing with fascism, but oligarchy. Unless you tackle it at the source, nothing will change.

Every American citizen is apparently worried about what it will cost them personally to go on a general strike.
When what they should be asking is what it will cost them—and the world entire—if they don't.
You've run out of time, America. ICE was just the appetizer. This is the main course:

We agree that the crop of current leaders is weak AF.
QS are all up into their virtue signaling.
PSPP is cosplaying conservatism.
CAQ incompetence needs to disappear.
PLQ need to stop acting like the Democratic Party.

Worse than current language policies outside Québec? Not what I've been hearing from my Franco-Ontarien and Acadien fam'.
Pierre Trudeau tried to forge a bilingual (and energy-sovereign) Canada. The backlash feeds separatism to this day.
It hasn't been, as Carney suggested, all good.

Sovereignty cannot be won without the support of non-ancestral Québécois. It's a waste of time. Everyone (but PSPP's PQ) knows this. It's either a Lévesque-like vision of ambitious and inclusive self-determination, or bust.

"L'argent": Just as we deplore Hillary (backed by Goldman Sachs) kneecapping Bernie's bid for the Democratic nomination, dark money influenced a referendum that only failed by 1%. Think about that.
"Votes ethniques": factually true, but saying it in anger only condemned the movement to irrelevancy.

But to conflate francophone nationalism with MAGA is disingenuous at a time when Ford has cut funding for French Unis and hospitals, NB is openly hostile to Acadiens and Manitoba—which started out as a Métis province—is little better than Louisiana.

Legault has been a disaster.
His linguistic policies aren't only immoral, they're counterproductive. AND they sabotage Montreal's golden opportunity to become the next Boston (speaking of academics). He's sabotaged this province.

ICE is EXACTLY to Trump what the SA were to Hitler.
It only recruits MAGA goons, glad to do Trump's unlawful bidding.
This isn't about immigration, but political repression. We've seen this movie before. You need to decide your part in it. Actively opposed? Or just passively disgusted?
