Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

It was only little over a year ago.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

I always look forward to the World Cup and watch it religiously despite the venality and questionable ethics of FIFA. But the orange shit gibbon has managed to fuck even soccer up. FIFA peace prize my arse. Fuck all the way off FIFA and Trump.

Anyone surprised by this has not been paying attention, at all.
Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This is vile. How the 90 doctors involved in this woman’s care can live with themselves baffles me.
After Tierra Walker died, her family was confused by her medical care.

“They didn’t want to offer to end the pregnancy, because the government or someone says you can’t?” her aunt said. “So you’d rather let somebody die?”

Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

4/ I sympathize with the plight of Americans and have posted about my support but like many, many Canadians, would like Americans to step up and support us in large numbers.

If you’re supporting Hoekstra’s and Trump’s inane statements by staying silent - you’re a problem for Canadians.
