Trees, yes trees, prefer to cycle if I need to get somewhere, would love to live in an urban utopia, but I am in Toronto.

The Conservative voters have an identity issue - and it is not Canadian! #Election2025
Front yard showing local Conservative sign as well as Trump signs and in case it was not clear enough a banner saying “51 make Canada Great Again!” with an image of Trump.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
There are three key facts in the Holocaust Encyclopedia produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is the second key fact:

What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.

So are we at the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” stage of the USA?

For our international crowd, Canadian fight terminology:
1. Elbows up: we mean business and we aren't backing down—WE ARE HERE
2. Gloves off: it's go time.
3. Jersey em: we're yanking their own jersey over their head and using it to incapacitate them while we pound on them
4.  Over the boards: were bringing supports into this skirmish
5..Clear the bench: we are ALL in the fight and it's not going to be pretty, we'll take it for the team and no man gets left behind. —Geneva checklist/ SUGGESTIONS

Hope this clears things up.

I think this sums up @aoc.bsky.social quite well. She spoke about how Democrats need to be brawlers for the working class. I could hardly agree more. #Havamal127 #SSWA #Resist #ResistTheOligarchy

“The powerful gay lobby” “The powerful cyclists lobby” “The powerful trans lobby” “The powerful postal workers lobby” “The powerful disabled lobby” Like, at what point do people finally realize how much fearmongering bullshit conservatives are piling atop us? They ARE the powerful lobby 😡

I am not sure why this talk of the US taking over Canada implies we would be one state? We could argue for at least 17 states, 90 electoral votes, and 34 senators, the balance of power would be vastly different! Though this would be less rep than we have now in government and generally a bad idea!

Hello Concerned Question Asker, I see that you identify as Christian, I was wondering (in these troubled times) if there is a test I could perform, or a part of your anatomy I could check to confirm this identity of yours?

Perhaps the world needs to burn, we can only hope that all traces of this hateful society we have become disappears and whatever survives makes a better go of it.

So, to be clear: my position is that there is a cultural and structural parallel between anti-trans social and cultural legislation and the kinds of social and cultural legislation in favor of segregation. It is almost as if the folks who are enacting these policies LEARNED from their history.

There is a Rubicon of disgusting that Conservatives routinely willing to cross nowadays. Something about modern conservatism is fundamentally rotten, a cruelty and a selfishness, verging on psychopathic. They know this is going to kill people--innocent, ordinary people--but they just don't care.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

I drove today. I think I know what is partially causing congestion - a significant portion of Toronto drivers are selfish assholes. The other reason of course is too many cars.

Why is it being treated as normal thing that Trump controls the entire government House/Senate/Supreme Court. We have seen what he will do with guard rails, now there are none!
