Pro-democracy. Anti-bullshit. Canadian, observing from the edge - somewhere between reason and rage.

History is blunt: once fascists win power through #Democracy, they’ve never been removed by it. Not once. This thread draws on a FB essay shared by Karl J. Martin, attributed to “Chris Armitage.” I couldn’t verify the author, but the history is sobering 🧵

Kayleigh McEnany thinks this garbage deserves an Oscar… it finished 3rd on opening weekend, Amazon spent ~$75 M, and it’s made ~$7 M so far. Will it ever break even? Only on a cold day in hell.
BREAKING: Kayleigh McEnany is in full gaslight mode on the Melania movie disaster, claiming the box office stinker deserves an Oscar. Do they give Oscars for losing the most money? https://t.co/zvtQRvDwNp

Emily Austin: ‘So many people whispered to me at the Grammys, you’re so brave, we agree with you.’ Translation: I filmed myself mocking a young artist speaking truth about human rights, got tens of millions of views, and now I’m a wannabe influencer with zero empathy, zero

…and Trump threatens a lawsuit. Me thinks the President protests too much. Donny boy… did Trevor Noah hit a nerve? Such thin skin! FYI, there’s the 1st Amendment, backed by defamation law, that protects comedians like him.#FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #Comedy #TrevorNoah #Trump
Trevor Noah takes another jab at Donald Trump #Grammys: “Song of the Year — that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton”

Leaks reveal mismanagement at Metro Vancouver. Their solution? Hunt the whistleblowers, not fix the chaos. Transparency isn’t the problem; what they’re hiding is. #MetroVancouver #vanpoli

Y’all OK with this? Now we get to hear how Trump and his lackey Vance will make all sorts of excuses as to why this was a legitimate and righteous shooting. Eight against one? JMFC this Gestapo-like behavior must be stopped.
🚨BREAKING: New footage shows another angle of federal agents shooting and killing a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis. There was ZERO justification for killing this American.

Classic Gestapo-style tactic. It begins insidiously. Routine checks. Expanded stops. Then door to door enforcement becomes normal, enabled and encouraged by leadership. History doesn’t repeat cleanly. It rhymes.
Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next? Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant. That matters. An

Kind of like “shoot first, ask questions later”. Oh, wait…
🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis are seen arresting another teenager without verifying his identity first, and admit to it on camera. In the video, the teenager calmly tells agents he can go inside and get his ID to prove who he is. The agents refuse. Instead, they say

This should be front and center and no one who believes in Democracy should stay quiet.
Wait so Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan now? "One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call

Fascism has arrived in America. Who will stand against it?
I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset. I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and

Real service earns respect, not retaliation. SMH
Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the

Greenland ‘should be yours’? Bold. Also illegal, stupid, and diplomatically suicidal. But, please… do go on.
Q: Can you rule out that the US is going to take Greenland by force? Miller: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO...Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over Greenland

The US already has strategic access to Greenland. Insisting it must “own” it invites questions about what this is really about, especially given past US interest in Greenland’s mineral and resource potential. That goes well beyond national security.

🚨BOMBSHELL: The White House is panicking after Bill Clinton flipped the entire Epstein files narrative on Trump. Clinton completely outsmarted him by officially asking Trump to release EVERYTHING. Clinton says he’s not scared and if Trump is innocent, prove it.

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s

This, and more, done by a man with an overinflated ego who thinks he’s “all that.” To be clear… he’s a lot of things. Classy isn’t one of them. A leader isn’t either.
Rep. Joyce Beatty told CBS News’ Nikole Killion that she was cut off on Thursday's board call as she tried to express opposition to the Trump-Kennedy Center name change. The Ohio Democrat, who is an ex-officio member of the board, said that this was a regularly scheduled board
