Watching afar from Canada. Great showing - keep up the good fight. Certain we will see you again running for elected office and advocating for those without a voice!

The LPC should send Trump a thank you. It will hand the a majority government if this continues.

Orwell is smiling!

Missed too many chances - watched too much hockey to know it will cost us.

He did play for the Canucks!

Yup - shots don’t win games. Has that feel to it. Can’t beat the goalie feel!

Also - how can someone this ‘smart’ be so stupid?

Guy who has done some work on this stuff / culture, nationalism and multiculturalism. Pretty sure America has a ‘common’ civic culture around which all ethnic and religious groups can feel part of - undergirded by constitutional principles, not racial heritage.

Racial quotas for immigration are back | Heba Gowayed The Trump administration’s immigration policies hearken back to the racist 1924 Immigration Act, meant to whiten the US

Making America White Again with immigration policy. (I would add to @hebagowayed.bsky.social's comparison that the 1920s racists were also roiled by a birth rate panic, as we are again today)

And given today’s events - now is the time for the press to do its job.

The role of a free press in a democratic society is not to effusively gush about the ‘love of country’ but to hold the government accountable and provide a check on all 3 branches. Murrow did not claim to love the state - he challenged power.
