The way Canadians feel about Trump and the US right now, is the way First Nations people feel about pipelines. Especially when they're forced through our land without consent. And the amount you want to fight back is what you're up against with the latest Alberta pipeline proposals. FYI.

Actually, one more - I feel like I should say this directly, so here goes. In the 90s and 00s, the groups I remember pursuing this strategy (hyperpublicize mugshots, Black crime statistics, etc) were Stormfront, the Klan, etc. Now it's the New York Times and the Telegraph. That is the story here.

Philosophers often bring up the "principle of charity": a willingness to assume good faith in an interlocutor and treat them accordingly. It's good to do in many circumstances. But it is worth formulating a principle of not being a fucking mark. If not during the rise of fascism, then when? 12/

Just in case anyone was considering subscribing to @cascadecascade.com , Dan Sheehan blocked me from their account because I humorously and politely disagreed with his personal account’s assessment of why Star Wars is failing. I guess they’re not so much a collective as a vanity project

To everyone who cheerleaded Carney's faux speech in Davos & posturing as independent middle power - His atrocious statement today backing US-Israeli attacks on Iran make clear that he & Canada are firmly aligned with dominant imperial interests. And he did so while shaking hands with Modi in India

“At a time when four out of 10 American Jews believe the state of Israel is guilty of genocide — about the same as the percentage of American Jews who identify as Zionists — the era when American Jews could be assumed to march under a single ideological flag of “Zionism” is over.”

Sorry, what? No, it’s evidence the fascist administration wants to use force. That’s what fascists do. Every time they use force they demonstrate and reaffirm their power to unilaterally and arbitrarily use their power. Do liberals know how to assess non-liberal actors? Fell like that’s important

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

Except this isn’t true, of course. Trump targeted Minnesota knowing it was a liberal stronghold where his brownshirts would face massive resistance. That was the point. It was a testing ground for his fascist ground force, and they’ve been extraordinarily successful. This is only the beginning.

DHS's assistant secretary for public affairs denied posting an except of the song "We'll Have Our Home Again" to The New York Times, after I pointed out to the reporter they shared it on Instagram. She said it had "no relation" to the song performed by members of the Mannerbund. (It does.)
A Homeland Security spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, said that if the ICE recruiting post were actually about the song, it “would be a problem” and “morally repugnant.” But, she said, the post had no relation to the white-supremacist anthem.

“There are plenty of references to those words in books and poems,” she said, adding that she was “in charge of everything” posted on the department’s social media accounts.

But when the post was opened on Instagram’s mobile app, audio from the chorus of the song played in the background. After a reporter pointed this out, Ms. McLaughlin said The Times was participating in a left-wing conspiracy theory.

“I’m telling you it’s not there,” she said.

DHS has suspended Greg Bovino’s access to his social media accounts. Now, if he wishes to tell lies with impunity or denigrate Americans based on ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation without significant contradiction, he will be limited to American mainstream media.

Fitting to read Carney in the context of European interwar period, when Césaire wrote "it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it"

I'm realizing how much the American Revolution was a war of conquest. American builds it's "Noble Lie" on the idea we are not conquerors like the decedent Euro powers... and while it is obvious that is not true in the 19th century; I had never considered that it was invalid from the start. #HATM
