Canadian MP Charlie Angus joins global call to avoid the United States due to security risks posed to foreign civilians and Trump's ongoing ICE Ethnic Cleansing operation: "I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible." #cdnpoli

#TIL that the number "40" in the Bible was not literal, but just represented a big number/a long time. For example, saying Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days is like saying "wow Sally, it's been a bajillion years since I've seen you!"
Nonetheless, many religious folks throughout history have taken Biblical numerology way too literally.
It's a tiny thing, but is yet another reminder - the Bible was propaganda written by multiple authors with varying goals, for readers of specific cultures. It was never meant to be understood by people of other countries, languages, time periods. It should absolutely not be taken as a flawless, eternal source of moral guidance.

Oui, le Canada n'est pas immunisé. 98% des papiers en langue anglaise sont subvertis. Le Canada a été capturé.

Non seulement ils ont été pris en charge, achetés à l'extrême droite, mais achetés par l'extrême droite de l'envahisseur.

5/ "Every time that a Mahmoud Khalil is grabbed off the street in the dead of night, or a Spanish soccer tattoo gets a man who thought he was escaping tyranny in his Venezuelan homeland thrown into an American-endorsed gulag instead, or the president of the United States threatens to defund an entire state because its female governor dared speak back to His Highness, the burner is turned up another millimeter or two."

After Musk threw a tantrum over leaks about Pentagon war plans, the Defense Department is now rolling out lie detector tests to hunt down whistleblowers. Homeland Security is doing the same. Fascism isn’t coming—it’s here, armed with polygraphs and billionaires’ egos.

Fox News tried to deny GOP plans to gut Social Security, but Rep. Greg Casar torched the lie with receipts: Musk calls it a Ponzi scheme, Trump’s closing offices, and their billionaire Commerce Secretary shrugged off missed checks like it’s no big deal. the fucking heist continues.

Trump has bankrupted himself seven times.

Nebraska will be his eighth bankruptcy. The state cannot meet its financial obligations, as they have lost 80-90% of its undocumented workforce and now there is nobody to work the farms. They are about a month, maybe less, from defaulting.

Wyoming will be his ninth, for much the same reasons. Their undocumented workforce has fled for safer states and safer cities, and now there's nobody to work the cattle ranches. As these states' tax base shrinks, their economy shrinks, these red states' governments are quickly becoming unable to pay their bills.

Florida may be his tenth, with millions and millions of homes standing vacant and unsellable. The Florida real estate bubble is about to burst and burst hard.

These are the first few dominos. Watch them. As they go, so will the nation go.

Man, remember when Secretary of Defense was one of the most prestigious, serious positions in government and not just some unserious clown, owning duh libs? Like just a few months ago?

Thanks, Trump voters.

Tommy Christopher has Fox personality Brian Kilmeade falsely accuse two prominent Musk critics of urging protestors to blow up Teslas. Kilmeade goes on to call for their arrest.

No mention of whether the complete lack of evidence they ever said anything like that makes them even more dangerous.

PM #MarkCarney called a snap federal #election, seeking to capitalize on momentum that has his Liberals resurgent. The campaign is likely to come down to one question: Who can best handle #Trump & the threat he poses to #Canada?

Carney requested that the governor general dissolve #Parliament, which was to begin on Monday, & set elections for April 28. By #law, an election had to be held by Oct 20, but a prime minister may request Parliament’s dissolution at any time.

They were arrested during routine #ICE check-ins. Then they disappeared.
#Deportation proceedings are often shrouded in secrecy. But lawyers say the lack of information about the #Venezuelan migrants deported under the #AlienEnemiesAct is nearly unprecedented.

"When asked when he signed the proclamation invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, by which Trump claimed that Venezuela is invading the United States by sending alleged gang members over the border, Trump answered: 'I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it.' Trump was on his way to his golf club in New Jersey, and seemed to be handing off responsibility for the declaration to someone else, perhaps Secretary of State Marco Rubio."

AG Pam Bondi lashed out at Rep. Jasmine Crockett over alleged "domestic terrorism" against Tesla, warning “nothing will happen to Elon” as she vowed to protect Musk. Bondi called Molotov attacks on Tesla stations terrorism, despite no proof Crockett incited violence. Another authoritarian loyalty test masquerading as law.

@DemocracyMattersALot Bottom line - What are sane #Americans going to do about this? Will they quietly submit and shuffle off to #concentrationcamps like #JapaneseAmericans in 1942 or will they rise up and fight like colonists at #Lexington in 1775? Do #Americans still have balls or are they too brain dead from cheap beer and ESPN?
