I love curling, fishing, camping at the river. Getting out of Canada's cold winters after 40 years of working hard to be able to do this.

Putting their bodies on the line is pretty much all Dems can do, given minorities in the Congress, but it's powerful insofar as they're seen as the legitimate representatives of the people. These are YOUR representatives they're grabbing & shoving! These are YOUR representatives they're silencing!
focusing just on padilla for a moment (and not on noem)—dems are starting to get more comfortable in taking loud and performative (complimentary) action in opposition to the administration
Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing:
"I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary"

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question.
They do this shit because they think they can get away with it.
Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

There are indeed advantages to an Independent candidate who is not required to toe the party line; but instead, directly represents her neighbours!

#PierrePoilievre billed taxpayers $7.3 MILLION for 12 months of nonstop campaigning for himself BEFORE the writ was dropped. That’s not including his taxpayer funded mansion, chauffeur, chef & housekeepers. He’s the most expensive opposition leader in 🇨🇦’s history. In addition to untold dark money.

GOVERNING is negotiating with the other side when you need 60 votes and you only have 53.
Refusing to negotiate when you don’t have the votes is incompetence.
That is why Republicans can’t govern.

This is the most accurate headline I’ve seen so far, with lots of media & all the usual Russian shills on here swallowing Putin’s BS. Did he sign the agreement? No. Have they ceased firing? No. We have empty words & caveats - this is no different than what he’s said for 2 years

A 10-year-old girl who's a US citizen recovering from brain cancer was deported with her parents and can't continue her treatment.
The swelling on her brain is not fully gone causing difficulties with speech and mobility.
Deporting her is pure evil.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

No matter what Fascists come to power - Trump, Poilievre, Le Pen, Farage, etc... I truly believe that they won't last forever.
If fascists and other Tyrannical governments were sustainable, France would still be a kingdom.
Things are still gonna suck for the next few years, though.
