“Anyone who has (not) broken the law should not be worried,” Leavitt told The Associated Press. “If you have broken the law and engaged in the weaponization of justice, then you should be worried. It’s that simple.”

The blatant abuse of language is one of the most disgusting ways fascists revel in their power. Everyone knows they're doing exactly what they falsely accuse others of doing, but they love saying it to remind you that there's nothing you can do now they have all the power.

Canada, please no Poilievre.

That tends to be the case in many countries because the left are under so much scrutiny they have to be very careful with budgets. The right, on the other hand, are given a pass to do all kinds of irresponsible things because they are assumed to be "fiscally responsible" and their supporters only want to hear them say "tax cut" a few times and they're satisfied.

It can also mean disapproval of genocide, or having the wrong skin color, or speaking Spanish, or being gay or trans, or saying it's OK to be gay or trans. Basically it means doing anything Nazis don't like.

Or until they decide to kill you to make room for the next delivery.

As a Canadian, I think Canada should start accepting trans refugees from the USA. I also think we must absolutely not elect the transphobic MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre. It's crazy that some Canadians look at what's happening in the USA and want the same here, or think of nothing but wanting to pay less tax even if it means destroying everything that makes Canada good.

If Trump and his people ignore the courts, the only way to stop them is physically.

But can the court stop his Gestapo from kidnapping these people anyway and trafficking them for torture, slavery, imprisonment and possibly execution? Because they're just doing it regardless of what the courts rule.

Unfortunately the EU is in the process of abandoning GDPR, despite it being the best thing they ever did for the internet.

I think superhero movies, as well all the many movies where a team of misfits overcome their difficulties to save the day when the USA faces disaster, are just American self-mythologizing. Americans like stories that show how deep down they are strong and sensible and when the chips are down they come together as a team to take care of the world, but in reality they're not that at all. The problem is they believe their own myths.

I'm rooting for France. You'll never stand up to the USA if you don't stand up to its corporations.

Yeah, we know. Unfortunately we have a guy up here (Poilievre) who wants to do the same thing in Canada. Canadians, please vote to prevent this man turning Canada into the same Nazi shitshow as the USA.
