If you're in the USA don't you dare say abducting medics, handcuffing them, executing them and dumping their bodies in a mass grave is bad, or you'll be abducted, tortured and disappeared to permanent prison in a random country. This is called free speech.

I don't know, most middle schoolers learn and grow out of it. MAGAs are not up to that level.

Well played. This made me laugh.

Bad guys are endorsing the bad guys. Don't vote for the bad guys.

"It is time to arrest those funding the attacks," he wrote. "Arresting their puppets and paid foot-soldiers won’t stop the violence."

How much funding does he think it takes to get people to protest against the world's most publicly obnoxious Nazi?

We've been hoping for a patriotic hamberder to do its thing since 2016.

This pattern of behaviour is why no country will consider any agreement with the USA to be trustworthy ever again.

The disaster was that the immigration policy wasn't matched with any meaningful policy to create more housing at an affordable price. Immigration is something Canada continues to need, but on housing politicians are torn between the demands of those who can't afford housing and the demands of the corporations that build and own property, plus (to a lesser extent, because the gains aren't real) homeowners who want their property to keep increasing in value. And as usual corporate interests tend to win out.

But maybe there could be corporate pressure for Canada to do something about housing, if it helps other (non-housing) corporations attract skilled workers from the USA and elsewhere.

So there was a deal with Iran which Trump ripped up, and now he's threatening Iran with war if they don't make a deal with him like the one he ripped up?

The Trump administration has been trying to brand anti-Tesla protests that damage cars as "radical left Terrorism."

Trump says violence against Tesla is domestic terrorism

It could actually be a good thing, since it opens up the possibility of unsnoopable channels of communication, using encryption that would be disrupted by any attempt to intercept it.

Canadian mining companies are some of the most ruthless, oppressive and damaging organizations in the world. It's not surprising that they're entirely willing to work with the fascists.

Still, it's significant that only 32% of Republicans support Trump's genocidal policy.

Or an innocent person may end up kidnapped and imprisoned for life in El Salvador because they have a tattoo.

Case 1:

Trump sends innocent man to El Salvador for having autism awareness tattoo

Case 2:

He has a tattoo celebrating Real Madrid. His lawyer believes it’s why he was deported

Be a shame if it got completely clogged up with spam so no oil companies could get their pollution exemptions. Or if everyone wasted their time with trivial questions.

Protests don't hinder such organization though, and they can connect and embolden people. They're valuable as long as they're not all that gets done.

Signal is pretty good. It takes a special kind of stupid to use Signal and still end up accidentally leaking everything.

Good stuff. Small acts of resistance like this add up.

Trump's "small loan of a million dollars" turned out to have been a gift of $413 million that his father acquired through legally dubious means.

The USA has become one of those countries where critics of the government are disappeared. And it only took a couple of months to get there. So much for the American commitment to free speech.

Don't go to the USA.
