Let’s also not forget that Trump didn’t enact the insurrection act when there was a real insurrection. Now he wants to use it to control the will of the people. It wants to police the country unchallenged. Sure seems like a Putin move.

In the past week, a White pastor was shot in the face with a pepper ball and a White reporter was handcuffed and detained by federal officers.

Congratulations, America.

On this Thanksgiving weekend, Canadians give thanks for family, friends - and the fact we don’t live in the USA. Happy Thanksgiving, Canada. 🇨🇦

Support for mandatory vaccinations is growing in Canada, poll finds. I think Canadians are finally saying “enough is enough” to the anti-vax/pro-MAGA charlatans.

U.S. District Judge April Perry ruled on Oct 10 to temporarily block President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago, there was no substantial evidence of a "danger of rebellion"that the action violated the 10th and 14th Amendments by involving military forces in domestic policing.

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health.

It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.

Trump: "The restaurants were all closing, now you can't get into a restaurant. They're opening up new restaurants. It took 12 days for us. We sent in not politically correct military. We sent them in based on merit."
