The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

Hello from Broadview ICE facility, where approximately 300 protesters have gathered to protest, as they do every day

Things are tense and hard to parse. County Police surrounding some vehicles. Absolutely massive number of cops down the street. Peaceful, but I'm not sure that's gonna matter

🧵
A 1776 flag and a blow-up koala, plus several protesters and some barriers Maybe 10 cops in tan shirts and riot helmets surrounding some vehicles. Protesters in front of them A ridiculous number of cops in riot helmets down the street. 40? Hard to say

“As reported by PressProgress, Canada Proud has close ties to Pierre Poilievre and a record of presenting false and misleading partisan content. A report by the CBC revealed that Poilievre had hired the team behind Canada Proud to boost his messages online.”

Trump has functionally killed America's international broadcasting apparatus.

Russia and China are making up the difference.

if we still care about democracy and liberalism abroad, countries like Canada need to step up. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Justin Ling: Canada needs to make its voice heard around the world. Here’s one clear way to do that.
To create stronger connections internationally, Canada can’t rely on the United States. We need to use our own soft diplomacy tools

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Through the process of elimination, I have concluded it is everyone who believes in human rights without carve-outs and that government (should) exist to keep us safe and better our lives.

It is OUTRAGEOUS that the Ford government appointed this man to replace all of the elected school board trustees and he won’t even do media interviews. No matter what you think about the dysfunction in the OCDSB, this is entirely undemocratic.

OCDSB supervisor says media interviews are not his mandate
Bob Plamondon has released only two public statements since the province took over the board on June 27 and he was appointed supervisor.

I don't know how much NYC relies on tourism dollars, but if it matters and he thinks we came for roast beef on Wonder Bread and country music, he should probably lose.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

All the MLB teams are making similar posts on Twitter and the responses show just how much this message is needed, and how much further baseball needs to go to firmly cement into a lot of their fans' brains that queer people deserve to be welcome in their stadiums. ⚾🏳️‍🌈

I keep seeing this idea that only one thing has ever beaten fascism. Only, it didn’t, obviously, since it’s still here. Leaving aside fact that all great powers are fascist now or headed that way—this isn’t 1936–there is one thing that’s never been tried: Building an actual, equitable democracy.

Three years after my husband died, I’m still trying to prove our life together was worth losing his family.

What I live with isn’t forgetting — it’s the blurring of memory.

On the third anniversary, I wrote about grief, memory, and continuing without answers.

Trump's Crusaders: Christian Nationalists Are Gaining a Solid Foothold in Washington
U.S. President Donald Trump has opened the doors of power to far-right Christian nationalists. Their goal: an American theocracy. The separation of church and state in America is at risk.
