What the fuck? I'll bet the Secret Service LOVED that.

I miss the days when I could sleep past 7AM.

I made it to 8 today. Ugh.

It was never about the art of the deal YouTube video by Joanna Johnson

Joanna Johnson is a brilliant Canadian teacher, and she's dead on 100% correct here.

Trump is deranged, he's a threat to every single thing we hold dear as well as everyone we love - no matter where you're from.

This is a nightmare.

How amazing is it that the guy who was elected to 'run the country like a business' manages to make the WORST POSSIBLE deals?

Like, we knew the guy was shit at business - he bankrupted casinos, for goodness sake. But like, at a certain point you have to assume he's doing it on purpose!

So before Trump’s war, Iran did NOT control the Strait of Hormuz. And now because of Trump’s war, Iran DOES control the Strait. And will continue to.

What a fucking disaster this illegal war has been. What a fucking idiot Trump is.

I've used the TACO term before myself - including in my article tomorrow, snarkily - but this guy is correct.

He's still a total monster, rabidly unhinged, and needs to be treated like the threat he is.

Seriously, guys.

I shouldn't be sitting here, waiting an hour to find out if the deluded maniac sitting to my south is going to drop a nuke on Iran or not.

I fucking hate that it's a very real possibility, based on what the unhinged rabid lunatic is sputtering to the media.

See, this would be a winning strategy.

Too bad they won't fucking do it. They're convinced that they can beat the Nazi Party 2.0 by becoming more right-wing and fascist themselves.

They talk about losing the last election because they went too far left. They're allergic to victory.

What are you doing besides posting on social media? We in Canada and the rest of the world are waiting to see if you intend to act and properly represent your constituents, or if you're only being performative for political points.

Casual Discrimination: Don’t Worry, You Don’t Look Autistic! It doesn’t seem like a big deal until you have to deal with it daily

Ah, yes. The old, "you don't look autistic!" Ding.

Love it.

Pissed Off Women: The Legacy of the Bitches Who Came Before Polite gets you killed. Bitch gets you results

Many women have learned that to be too polite is how you get killed.

We're not afraid to be mean these days.

Fascism *loves* to redefine what it means to belong.

The more people it can exclude and the smaller the in-group becomes, the more powerful the authoritarian feels.

It doesn't work. When the out-group becomes too big and has nothing left to lose...well.

History shows us what happens next.

Honestly, that goalpost is moving at a dead sprint.

Look at it go!

Stop Shoving Your Straightness Down My Throat! Oh, you don’t think you are? Neither are we!

As an Asexual woman, everywhere I go I'm inundated with a constant reminder: straight sexuality is VITALLY IMPORTANT to everybody!

And they say LGBTQ+ folks are shoving sexuality down THEIR throats?!

This is a quote we should all take to heart.

I hate calling out of work. I'm sick, and now I feel horrible and guilty because it's the second time I've called out this month.

Nevermind it's only the second time I've ever called out since I took this job last year.

Ugh.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

Well that's both hilarious and also DEEPLY concerning!

I just saw a bunch of Canadians in a comment section discussing the benefits of becoming the 51st state.

The number of people saying that it would be better because of 'guaranteed constitutional rights' is throwing me for a loop.

Folks... tell me this is a joke. Are they living under a rock?!

Pathetic that Canada would fall for the same fucking rhetoric for the invasion of Iraq.

Iran literally provided an offer to the US on thursday that would stockpile it's uranium enrichment elsewhere AND dilute what they currently have. how is that indicative of a weapon being built? nonsense

We raised $112k for trans kids last spring on here, and $35k for immigrant kids in the fall... and we're about to raise probably somewhere in between those two amounts for @immcouncil.org next month!

Epstein and the Wage Slaves: How Are We Supposed to Live Like This? There's a connection between the jobs market and the Epstein trafficking ring. Let me explain...

There is a link between the existence of billionaires, and the existence of the criminal network in the Epstein Files.

Without the divide between extreme wealth and poverty, this could not have happened.

Ugh, can't wait to see your head explode. I don't know if I can stomach it myself!

I'll be trying to get through it, but ugh.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

It's been 52 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared that the United States will "run" that state indefinitely.

Still no member of the House has introduced articles of impeachment connected to these actions.

Today would be a great day to do so.

For those who aren't aware, Timothy Snyder is a phenomenal expert on the subject of fascism and authoritarianism.

You should listen to him. And get his books while you're at it - he's the one who coined the phrase, "Do not comply in advance."

So when he says this, you should hear him.

Repeating History: The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression Looking to the past for inspiration.

Except it isn't. We've seen this before. We know exactly how to fix it.

Our leaders just... won't.
