Obviously taking a break from education conversations while we need to push back against fascism.

POWERFUL... 🤌🏼 🟥 Mark Carney: “When politicians (like Pierre Poilievre) claim our great democracies are broken, it's not because they want to FIX them. It's because they want a license to DEMOLISH... It's a model that has been USED time and time again: Create an external constraint to STARVE the beast of government, in a misguided view that SLASHING will lead to growing... ...When Poilievre shouts 'axe the tax!', he's really whispering, 'can the plan' and leaving us with NOTHING. Demolition is NOT a plan.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

“Here’s what Democrats should offer: Stop the data centers. Make AI safe. Protect your health care. Fix the rotten Supreme Court. Get us out of the Middle East. Renew our friendship with Canada. Hold the oligarchs accountable. Release the Epstein files.” thebulwark.com/p/democrats-s…

Hunter Biden on Trump: “We’re living under a dictatorship right now. It’s less Adolf Hitler because he’s not as concentrated as that. It’s more Idi Amin. It’s buffoonery, complete and utter incompetence. On top of a giant grift of the likes no one in the world has ever seen”

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

We had air superiority over Vietnam, and spent 8 years dropping millions of tons of bombs on it. They never begged for peace, let alone let us pick their leader.
Pete Hegseth says we will shortly have complete & total air superiority in Iran. We are very close now. Once that happens it’s just a question of how many leaders is Iran willing to let us wipe out before they beg for peace & let us pick their new leader:

Elon Musk's grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was arrested in October 1940 for trying to overthrow the Canadian government. History doesn't repeat, but it does echo.

“I have observed Trump for decades, and while he has always been an awful person (and very much a sexual predator), his particular deviancy has metastasized over the past year to a point beyond parody. The President of the United States woke up yesterday at Mar-a-Lago to begin a three day weekend. Deciding the cloudy skies and cooler temperatures would keep him off the golf course for the day, he chose to start a trade war with the European Union instead. His latest attacks on NATO could mean the end of one of the most successful alliances in modern history. The world became a much more dangerous place yesterday due to the whims of a drug-addicted septuagenarian. If we tested POTUS for drug use, the same way we make hourly workers in the United States submit to drug testing, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Donald Trump is a drug addict and has been for most of his adult life. I repeat this over and over because it truly matters. Roiling resentments and character defects are boiling over in the man who is more unsuited for a position of leadership than any previous high office holder in American history.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…

Carney is doing things no other Canadian politician would ever do because he’s not a politician. He’s a socially responsible technocrat. And now he owns the middle, where 80% of us live. You know, the ones who throw up in our mouths watching the alt right/left argue about demons, and issues that affect .02 percent of the population. We want Canada to be inclusive, empathetic, socially responsible but we also want the business of Canada to be taken care of and to realize our potential as a global superpower and the leaders of the free world. We make up the vast majority of the electorate in Canada. We have shed any party bias for real leadership, experience and the values Canada was built on. Not a religion. Or an ideology. Just courage to do the right thing for Canada and Canadians when it matters most and a leader who doesn’t give a shit about serving a bullshit party or extremist ideology. That’s why @PierrePoilievre’s career is over. That’s why Carney has a 69% approval rating. That’s why you’re seeing a sea of disinformation about anti abortion, diseased Ostrich Farms, and why @jamiljivani pretends to be Temu Charlie Kirk. That’s why @s_guilbeault quit. And that’s the kind of leadership and perspective every sane Canadian who doesn’t use political/ideological labels to define who they are, wants. The rest is just noise to real Canadians.

So this great sea of people who want to separate is really just five or six idiots with a website or two and bad ideas?

When Conservative no longer means conservative, but a populist front that hijacked the term, and the country is undergoing the greatest stress since WWII, crossing the floor on principle is not just valid, it's absolutely the right and patriotic moral choice. Vive le Canada! 🇨🇦💪

Republicans in North Carolina are so ashamed of what they did with redistricting, they erased this speech by NC State Senator @MichaelKGarrett from the official record. The full 18-minute speech is attached. #DemsUnited

As Poilievre embarks on this evidence-free witch hunt, he reinforces why a man who has held a seat for his entire adult life struggled to secure re-election against a leader like @MarkJCarney.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.
