This one concerns me because Trump and his cronies love to latch onto any reason they can to demonize Canada and drum up 51st State rhetoric. Remember how Putin used 'De-Nazification' in his premise against Ukraine? Watch names and think-tanks. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic... #Never51 #ElbowsUp

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

They do not want people able to think critically. This component of fascism blends anti-empericism with the development of newspeak, a diminished language made of words acceptable to the state. Thinking critically with a wealth of words is poison to fascism.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
