This is exactly what I told someone yesterday. Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

They won’t only be snatching us from cars, they’ll be killing us in our sleep in the middle of the night when they bust our down our doors. So when do we die, ppl? In our complacent beds, or on the streets? Are we willing to die for freedom? Or do we die with boots on our necks? We have a choice.

I can't help but think the negative economic impact of Trumpism will be far far worse for working Americans than preliminary forecasts indicate. I mean Great Depression-level impact.

The Conservative brain trust chose to release the platform ... after 25% of the electorate already voted in the advance polls. They must know in their hearts that their platform won't convince remaining swing voters.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Fascism is a hyper-nationalist, antisocialist movement. States that called themselves communist are certainly authoritarian. Authoritarian and fascist are not synonyms. Fascism is a right wing, reactionary authoritarian movement.

Fascist socialism is an oxymoron. Socialism is about worker ownership of the means of production. This is simply fascism.

Poilievre is Elon Musk's man. He hangs out with shills paid by Russia (Jordan Peterson). He supported the US right wing-funded "Freedom Convoy" that occupied Ottawa and demanded to overthrow the government during covid. He copies Trump's slogans.

It's kinda weird when Canadians form a more effective opposition to Trump than most of the Democratic party. What happened to unity and mobilizing in the face of a serious threat to their own democracy and citizens? Utterly mystifying. This should be the Dems' big moment to shine.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10
The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.
