Hi @trumpwat-ch.bsky.social You are doing work that's important and needed, but I hope you realize that Trump is only the figurehead of a much larger force seeking to concentrate power in themselves. bsky.app/profile/dgil...

America isn’t the way it is because Trump is president. Trump is president because America is the way it is. The book "Getting Beyond Trump" goes beyond the echo chambers, looks at what's really going on in the United States, and talks about what few others will. dgilesauthor.com/getting-beyo...

Because "Trump Christianity" is trending, I'd like to remind everyone that there's no such thing as "Christian" Nationalism and that Trump is likely the United States' first atheist president.

The False Gospel of "Christian" Nationalism Bombing Iran has been the wet dream of American right-wingers for decades, but especially so for the evangelical death cult who lust for a war of Armageddon between Israel and Islam. imnotyourechochamber.substack.com/p/the-false-...

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social demonstrates how to avoid real issues while pretending you’re clever but just behaving like a typical MAGA clown. Yes, Jeff you are “entitled to your opinion” just like Trump and MAGA are, but you aren’t doing any good sinking to their level with Fake Left opposition.

It seems necessary to remind everyone that just two days ago, the Russians killed teacher Inna Maryukhina and her one-year-old daughter Angelina in the village of Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region. Is this what "humanism" now means to Witkoff?

Everyone please wake up to the reality that the biggest threat to our freedoms comes not from government or "socialists" but from corporations.

Trump is not the problem. Attacking him does nothing to oppose the right wing in the United States. bsky.app/profile/dgil... -

It's a reality that anyone who digs beneath the surface will discover. Trump is just the current figurehead of a much deeper and older right-wing movement. You post that Trump is handled by Russia, so you can understand that the truth is that Trump is handled by US right-wing forces.

Alberta separatism is a potent attempt to launder a broader far-right, anti-immigrant movement through the language of western alienation. The danger is that, even if separatism fails at the ballot box, it will normalize and build organizational power for a white nativist vision of Canada.

Alberta separatism is a tool for building far-right power beyond the referendum

Alberta independence is a threat not because it might stage an unlikely upset. Rather, it is a threat because it normalizes and scales up organizing for white supremacist, anti-immigrant policies, lau...
