USA wld do well to remember who had their back for centuries.Not least 9/11 whch brought allies nothing but more trouble for themselves.
The drug/border issue is less than 1% from 🇨🇦 to 🇺🇸.Miniscule compared to guns/drugs frm 🇺🇸 to 🇨🇦.Trump doesnt care abt drugs, he just pardoned the Silk Rd drug pusher

All power to Canada! 🇨🇦 🍁
To my British brothers and sisters.
Buy Canadian where possible
Reject all USA products and holidays.
Canada is a beautiful holiday destination.
Reject the mob boss orange tantrumming tyrant.
A rogue authoritarian leading a rogue America.

It's interesting how ppl get seduced by populists & their simple solutions, whch given any scrutiny will show they cause more problems than they solve.
Ppl want comforting fairytales.
Fantasy economics,much like Zack's old job of convincing women he could make their breasts larger through hypnosis.

Everyone sing along!

🎶Don’t cry for us, Argentina.
We’re like Canada, only much meaner.
And we gave up healthcare,
For your peso to be finer,
So you could steal our soybean exports.
That went to China.🎶

Listen to this and feel those goosebumps.
Authentic passion, an all incompassing vision its intoxicating.
Same with Bernie Sanders.
No not Corbyn.

Kinnock is one of the finest proponents of progressive thought in this country and the best prime minister we never had.

In 2010, an interviewer told Neil Kinnock that the Labour Party "never used to understand aspiration".

Kinnock gave an absolutely brilliant answer that should be learned by heart by every Labour MP. (0.42 to 1.22)

Because how?
Years more division, paralysis, chaos?
To no certain conclusion, much less what we had before Brexit.
Until the EU know no more UK psychodrama they'll not waste their time or breath.

Not long ago it was 'All American' to celebrate Independence day, the day USA was free of King George.

Now if Americans reassert their objection to unilateral rule from one man they're called "traitors".

Upside down world.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

AOC on fire 🔥
Blowing up the right wing notion of masculinity.

This needs to be repeated all day everyday.

Brushing off toxic male rhetoric & notions as just boys being boys is killing our societies and our prosperous, harmonious and healthy futures.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Bernie Sanders is a force of nature, who'd ever think he was in his 80's?
Always upfront, honest, fair, balanced & genuine passion for those who need an advocate, who don't have means or power.

And don't compare Corbyn to him.

Corbyn is no Bernie.

Corbyn is an arrogant student activist.

Sen. Sanders is spot-on.

The American people won’t accept being thrown off their health care or seeing their premiums triple because of Republicans.

The GOP is playing a losing hand.

The 'genius' US President just *overtly* announces a COVERT CIA operation in Venezuela basically in pursuit of regime change.
Invading a sovereign state unprovoked & bombing boats of unknown ppl in International water is ILLEGAL.
What an idiotic felon.

Just to nitpick, I specifically commented on the passage being reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Not the added information on the ICE raid.

Highlighting , recording, posting *what* ICE is doing is critically important. Highlighting *individuals* is counterproductive, playing into Republicans narrative of 'terrorism'.
You can fight hard whilst keeping your moral clarity.

Tell me how this passage couldn't have come out of a book chronicling Nazi Germany.
Govt helicopters descended on a sleeping apartment block in the dead of night.
Adults and children separated and zip tied at gun point.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Forgot the thousands of hardworking Americans fired because they *maybe* democrat aligned.
No other President has ever fired workers in a shutdown.

Putin knows the game so well.
With his comment on Trump not winning the prize, Putin's headed off a possible turning of the screw on Russia (Israel style) to support Ukraine.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think people are severely underestimating Netanyahu's commitment to himself, his preservation, his own interests, and not Israel's.

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

Today, with Bishop Seitz and members of the immigrant community, Hope Border met Pope Leo and gave him messages and a video from those fearing Trump’s mass deportations. ‘The church cannot stay silent before injustice. You stand with me. And I stand with you’, the pope said.

Did you read the whole thing? That he was talking about just one day for the anniversary of 7/10?
I actually don't agree with him on this but I understand his point.
But I do think if ppl protest today about Gaza, for today they should also include commemoration of those innocents lost 7/10
