Ruben Gallego, a Democratic senator for Arizona and Iraq war responds to Trump’s war… “Draft dodger is willing to sacrifice working-class kids. How charitable of him.” (David Smith, The Guardian)

The United States is conditioned to reject external ideas or international law in order to protect the illegal actions committed by its government. Traditionally the US is known for its extensive acts against humanity the world over, something that until recently didn’t affect “We The People.”

…the Conservative and U.S. Republican Parties grow closer together, a move that is being championed by the far right on both sides of the border.” (Tess Megginson, Time, 2022).

If the US tried to annex Canada, it would be an unmitigated disaster. It would require a massive occupation force costing billions/trillion. Cause an American civil war. Turn the world against the United States, ending its reign as a super power… It didn’t work in 1812, it won’t work now.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Gazans returning home. To call this heartbreaking is an offensive understatement. I didn't initially believe it in late 2023, but the evidence is now unmistakable that this is a genocide-in-progress. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal; he and many of his co-conspirators must be tried at the Hague.

The first time I was accused of being "ANTIFA" I didn't know the term. I called my daughter. She said, "It means anti-fascist." Hell ya. I come from a long and proud line of ANTIFA. My uncles kicked Nazi ass all across Europe.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.
