Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I don’t know who Mr. Nichols hangs around with, but people have absolutely been erasing their social media accounts and keeping their heads down. Green card and visa holders in the US already have plenty of evidence that their social media presence is being monitored and used by the administration.

Tom Nichols post reads:

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means

If you’re apprehensive that what you say or do now could come to haunt you in a more authoritarian environment in the future then this is your absolute cue that you absolutely must say or do something now.

Fascism creeps in, through silence, through apathy, through “it can’t happen here”

History teaches us one thing clearly: when fascism arises, you don’t debate it,
You fight it.
Every time.
Everywhere.

And once it's taken hold, fascism has only ever been defeated by force.

A vintage-style propaganda poster in red and white. It shows a figure in a cap, mid-stride, holding a Molotov cocktail in one hand and what looks like a rifle slung over their shoulder. Bold red text reads: “FIGHT FASCISM” at the top and “WHEREVER IT ARISES!” at the bottom.

New: Google removed an ICE-spotting app after calling ICE agents a vulnerable group. A immigration support group on the ground in Chicago, the current focus of ICE, said they were using the app to source tips, called Red Dot. Apple removed that app too

Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’

The move comes as Apple removed ICEBlock after direct pressure from U.S. Department of Justice officials and signals a broader crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Like David Eby said, we do not need a distractions office or a major political office. Danielle Smith’s “pipeline” is not a real project it is just politics. She is still tangled in scandals, flirting with Alberta separation, and last fall she was at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

Patients are following false health claims and it's led to adverse outcomes. We can't deny that misinformation poses a serious threat. That's why @uwaterloo.ca has developed a research tool to track health misinformation patterns before they become potential catastrophes.

I’ve reported on the Doug Ford gov’t’s environmental record for 7 years and I remain concerned that Ontario’s only climate plan is a 2018 draft the auditor says isn’t evidence-based — and the gov’t now admits it won’t release a new plan or set stronger emissions-reduction targets

Good.
Maga(nazi) strategies to erase inconvenient histories need to be dealt with accordingly. Her and her children will, in fact, be fine.
Maybe she shouldn't shill her earned consequences for empathy while showing contempt for actual child victims of an attempted genocide.

Update: Lindsay Shepherd says the B.C. Conservatives have fired her.

An X post that reads: Today, BC Conservative Leader John Rustad fired me from my position as Comms Officer with the Conservative Party of BC Caucus. It was because of this tweet.

I am a mother of two young children, and I am 32 weeks pregnant -- I was about to go on maternity leave.

More to come.
