In no way do I condone violence to anyone. But, I wonder if #CharlieKirk would have said a few deaths are "worth it" to keep the 2nd Amendment if he knew one of those deaths would be himself. Always an asinine statement since 46,728 Americans dying in 2023 by guns way more than a few
Creeping fascism. The Trump regime just wants to get citizens used to seeing troops on the street. Did anyone vote for this? Is this still the land of the free?
Couldn't have said it better myself. #StopFascism before it is too late!

This is all about voter repression. Research shows mail-in balloting is secure and safe. In Canada, we can do early voting if one is not going to be available on election day. Is that possible in American states?
This is what fascists do. America this is not hyperbole, this is happening now. #FindYourVoice and #RefuseFascism!
The GOP fascists are trying to restore memorials to southern civil war leaders who fought to keep slavery. At the same time, trying to remove memorials to tragic events and memories of slavery and mentions of diversity from schools, books and museums. #ResistFascism #SupportDiversity
Podcasts I'm listening to
Fascist totalitarians seek to revise history to support their lies. The Nazis did it, and so is Trump. Don't wait America, now is the time to #FindYourVoice and stop this slide fascism before freedom is entirely lost.
America, the Trump regime is building concentration camps! What more evidence do you need you are walking down the road to fascism? Stop fascism now, before it's too late! #RefuseFascism #FindYourVoice #Resist
Agreed. They are part of the fascist playbook. ICE = Gestapo
My vote would be for "Stop Fascism Before Its Too Late"
The unintended humour in this photo is just the "TACO" portion of TACOMA is framed in the picture. And TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) certainly describes Trump, particularly when the weakling talks with Putin
Well said. I hope all serving members of the US military remember their loyalty is to the Constitution, not to a fascist president. #FindYourVoice #RefuseFascism #Resist #DefendFreedom
Don't rely on the GOP. The Congress and the judiciary have been undermined. The only power left is the American people. You should be taking to the streets in massive, peaceful opposition. General strikes. Speak up now, while you still can. #StopFascism #FindYourVoice #RefuseFascism #Resist
The #Trump fascist regime. Actively trying to undermine any efforts to save the planet.
It'll be a pardon in exchange for silence, or worse. Maybe a pardon in exchange for Maxwell saying #Trump never went to pedo island. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Exactly. Whole reason these AmmoSexuals said they had guns was to prevent government over-reach. Now Trump has Gestspo/ICE raiding homes, businesses & schools. He's shutting down voices of dissent like NPR & Stephen Colbert. Purging museums. Where are the barricades, the defenders of freedom?
I get that Carney is trying to be strategic here, but like so many leaders, he now seems to be bowing to Trump pressure. I agree, I'll still be boycotting America and American products. The power is in the people. I'll not support #fascistAmerica
As in Nazi Germany, industrial interests become complicit in bribing and supporting the fascist state. We are walking down the road to a fascist totalitarian America. This is not hyperbole. We need to #FindOurVoice and protest, take it to the streets, #Resist at every opportunity
Kash Patel said, when warning protesters at ICE raids, if you "hit a cop, you go to jail". I guess to be more accurate, he should of added, unless you hit a cop for #Trump. #RefuseFacism #Resist #Jan6 #DefendFreedom www.youtube.com/shorts/lY8OY...
America, if you love democracy and freedom, now is the time to #FindYourVoice, like this brave young man is doing.
Congress is now just a rubber stamp for the #Trump regime. Like the Duma in Russia, they are just for show, a vestige of democracy. They voted to give ICE 75 billion more, now best funded enforcement agency in America. Masked men scooping people off the streets. ICE = American Gestapo
While the #Trump fascist regime is trying to silence dissent, #Bluesky exists as a forum for rational thought, a place for people who are passionate about not losing democracy. It's growing steadily, 38.5 million @ last count. bcounter.nat.vg To #RefuseFascism we all must #findOurVoice & #Resist.
Every one needs to find a voice to fight this slide into #fascism. Do not wait for midterms or 2028. The fight is now! We need to refuse fascism while resistance is still possible. Find your voice! Thank you Robert Arnold! #RefuseFascism #Resist
Trump just continues to get played and mocked by Putin. This was a deliberate stick-in-the-eye to Trump. Particularly nasty reality check after Trump said he thought Putin wanted peace to please him. How delusional can you get?
www.salon.com/app/uploads/... This is disgusting. Trump is like a fawning puppy around Putin. He was totally played by the ex-KGP leader. It was obvious for all to see. A low point in American diplomacy
Right about now you can say that to America. Trump is the ultimate abuser.
I’m surprised he didn’t give Putin Alaska.
Whenever Trump meets with Putin, he always caves. Trump is a snivelling weakling. A real TACO president. How’s it feel MAGA? Your guy’s a coward and a douche
Ask acts of protest go, throwing a sandwich is far tamer than what Luigi’s did. But police states hate any opposition and need to make examples of their retributions.
Reading this book right now. Time travel and immortality are some of my most favourite speculative fiction themes. So, I’m enjoying this. #booksky #books #goodreads
When the #Russians first invaded #Ukraine and things were looking grim, #Zelenskyy was offered a flight out by the Americans. He replied: "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." So, I don't care if he didn't wear a suit to the Oval Office. He was the best man there. #SlaviUkraini
The TACO president strikes again. All Trump’s tough talk doesn’t survive contact with Putin. Now Trump agrees with Putin’s position. Trump is a weakling. #worstpresidentever
Way to go, Alaska! Although, be careful. Trump is so anxious to please his favourite buddy, Putin, that he might cede Alaska back to Russia.
How is Trump allowed to ruin America? Americans let him. The best lack all conviction While the worst are full of passionate intensity
I'm sorry When #Trump sends the military to occupy the streets and is systematically destroying the fabric of American democracy and laws. Rounding up people off the streets - sending them to concentration camps in the US and abroad. I just can't laugh at your cute cat pics anymore #Resist
Stumbling toward totalitarianism. How? Why? Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. -W.B Yeats
So much for government transparency. With the health care #scandal and flirting with separatists, now is not the time for the #UCP to be hiding expenses. I guess UCP must be short for "Unbelievably Corrupt Party" #DanielleSmith #Alberta #Abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
OK, I'm adding this to my bucket list. I want to drive the entire 8,000 km of the Trans-Canada Highway, from Pacific mile zero to the Atlantic. One of the longest national highways in the world across the most beautiful nation on earth, Canada.
If you missed this the first time, watch it now. It's important. People in #Gaza are starving because of an intentional policy of Netanyahu and the IDF. This is a war crime.
This is what authoritarian governments do. Someone tells the truth, they get purged. Before long you only have Soviet-style economic announcements where it's all good news. All lies, but no one has the guts to tell it like it is It's why Putin thought he had a good army time.com/7307040/trum...
The other answer would be, he's awake.
Essentially, the only way the unpopular, anti-democratic MAGA Republicans can save their seats in Congress this upcoming cycle, is for them to cheat by gerrymandering the hell out of their districts. The US should be like Canada, where our ridings are determined by independent non-partisan agency
Unless you suddenly find you have 6 fingers
Sorry folks, can’t really get into watching cute cat videos when children are starving in Gaza and Trump is dismantling democracy in America.
I suspect this is posted by ai bots trying to undermine bluesky
Think so? Any wealthy drug lord or pedophile can buy an American citizenship for 5 million. Meanwhile MAGA, simply because they’re racist, applauds the Nazi-style roundups of honest hard-working latinos.
And one of the biggest is sitting his ugly fat ass in the Oval Office
Another example of Russians only bombing “military” targets like schools, hospitals and marketplaces.
The Donny-Dannielle show was never about an sovereign Alberta, but about handing oil-rich #Alberta to the Americans. Danielle Smith is a traitor. Must have had her fingers crossed behind her back when she took her oath of loyalty to King and country. albertapolitics.ca/2025/07/the-...
Not a free article. When I click on it it takes me directly to a subscription payment screen.
What #Netanyahu and the #IDF are doing to the #Palestinian people trapped in #Gaza is no different than what Nazis did to the Jewish people in the Warsaw ghetto in 1941. This is a war crime. Screw your ideology, this has to stop. In the name of humanity, make this stop!
Geldof is exactly right. Netanyahu IS lying. The IDF has been blocking most aid into #Gaza. This is using starvation as a tactic. It is a war crime. This is no less that what Nazis did to Jews in the Warsaw ghetto www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzUt...
I'm not sure when this was recorded, but the interviewer claiming there is food on trucks, but it is not being delivered because of UN incompetence is a lie. Israel is not allowing the UN to distribute food, only this GHF run by Israel and the US. They are trickling food in. This is genocide
bcounter.nat.vg Below is an almost real time counter tracking #BlueSky's growth. Well over 37 million and counting. Tell your friends, social media doesn't need to be a dumpster-fire hate fest. Make X your x-social media feed. BlueSky is a friendlier, happier place to be!
The UCP need to go! Conservatives have been nothing but bad news for Albertans.
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... MAGA Smith needs to stop fanning the flames of #Alberta separatism. Polls show Albertans are fine with RCMP & want to keep the Canada Pension Plan. Just like in Quebec, elites are trying to get people riled up for separation with misinformation. #Canada united & strong!
So many of his followers think he’s some kind of blessing. I think he was a curse on the US.
Also known as the Jimmy Durante shark.
#Booksky 💙📚 Currently reading Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley Very readable and entertaining. Even though I'm a white devil, I'm enjoying this. About half-way through.
#Booksky 💙📚 Just finished reading "15 Dogs", by Andre Alexis Excellent! Apollo and Hermes have a bet. If dogs had the intelligence and speech abilities of a human, would they be happy? This is an insight into human and dog nature which is both entertaining and moving. It's a 🍁 book too!
I thought I was the only one to do this. 13 is my best so far. All started because I was sick of dealing with all these individual cardboard cores left over from tissue rolls. Started folding empties inside just to see how many I could get inside a roll. I see I've got to do better to match u
I'm just imagining the point of view of a dog. Their nose must always be a substantial part of their field of vision.
Modern treatments for HIV could have wiped out this disease in a generation. Then #Trump 's cut-backs to US-Aid happened. Trump's legacy, the continuation of AIDS. #WorstPOTUSever www.bbc.com/news/article...
America, when #Trump threatens to remove #citizenship from someone born in #America, you should fear for democracy. Hitler did this to Jews in pre-WWII Germany. If this happens, don't fear you'll soon slide into autocracy... ... you'll already be there. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
The Big Bogus Bill that #Trump got his spineless #GOP lackeys to push through provides $175 billion for #ICE. They are now the best funded police force in the country and directly under control of #Trump. This is Trump's Gestapo, his SS, Praetorian Guard. www.cbsnews.com/news/more-th...
Removing citizenship should be a red line, but it's been & will again be crossed by Trump. Removing citizenship is exactly what Hitler did to Jews in Germany. Threatening the citizenship of your enemies/targets is how autocracies use fear to isolate. Autocracy is not coming, it is already here.
This is something that Dumb-dumb #DanielleSmith here in #Alberta doesn't understand. She's trying to shove nuclear down out throats b/c she knows it takes a decade or more. #Solar is the fastest way to add capacity to our grid. And way cheaper than anything else.
I just love this picture of polar bears among a sea of purple wildflowers. Happy Saturday, all.
So, #America, as an outsider (Canadian), looking in, I'm wondering if you are even going to have midterms, let alone another presidential election. Have you walked too far down the road of #authoritarian dictatorship? Or am I over-reacting? #Democracy www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...
This is Bluesky
Seems Trump is really desperate to change the channel from Epstein files.
Say what you will about Biden, but under his watch the economy was not shrinking, measles was not a thing again, and people were not dying from the plague.
Hey, #RedDeer city council. The low hanging fruit in creating new #bikepaths has got to building them on existing utility right-a-ways. This satellite photo shows people are already tromping dirt paths with usage. Why not lighted paved pathways? Beats trying to put them on roads.
#Heatwaves are killers. And #cities can be #Heat Islands pushing surface temps 10-15C higher! Dark asphalt streets & parking lots absorbing the sun's heat can't help. Can we not add something to asphalt to make it less black? Or, at least bylaw for tree coverage & shade? #Urban #PlantATree
Found myself watching the #Butler assassination attempt video today. Strangely, when #Trump puts his hand to his ear, there is no blood on his hand when he brings it down again. Blood only appears on his face, dramatically, after he stands up. Still no blood on his right hand.
And why the hell did America vote him in...twice?
History may not be repeating, but it rhymes like hell.
What more evidence do Americans need that #Trump 's absolute stupidity and incompetence is not softened by even an ounce of compassion.
The criminal incompetence of the Trump stupidocracy is breathtaking.
#ICE conducted a pageant on horseback in an almost empty LA park. It was just for the visuals. In the meantime, in #Texas, where the national guard might have been useful evacuating people, over a 100 are dead because of Trump's cutbacks. But, #Trump cares, he was golfing while all this happened
The incompetence of the Trump regime is staggering. This is what comes from appointing toadies instead of people who are actually know what they are doing.
What a great concept for a fund-raiser. And one that would be incredible cathartic. You heard the lady in the video, "it felt good"
I don't know why anyone would willingly become a ICE agent. Where are they drawing their recruits? From the proud boys? The KKK? No wonder they're wearing masks. They're used to white hoods.
Just joined GanderSocial beta site. This is an all #Canadian social media site built and run in Canada. Not much to see yet as they're just getting off the ground. Just a gosling at this point. gandersocial.ca
Trump is an inhuman, uncaring monster. I hope an alligator goes after him when he gets too close to a water hazard
Any questions?
Why is it when Ukraine attacks Russia, it is to eliminate threats like bombers or a warehouse full of glide-bombs? But, Russia just seems to want to kill civilians. I still remember in early days of invasion, when a Russian tank swerved to run over a car with a civilian inside.
According to @hourlybskyusers.bsky.social There are now north of 37 million Bluesky users. That is growing by well over a thousand an hour. Tell your friends. Come to #Bluesky. The water is fine and the community is positive and supportive. #DumpTwitter
It's what happens when Trump pees on that light on a hill that used to represent liberty in America.
Promote a #Canadian product a day. Thanks for this post. I will look for this during my next shopping trip.
Remember when America had a president who actually cared?
#CanadaDay project. Show images from all regions of #Canada. The feel of a cosmopolitan European city, but you are still in North America. Loved visiting both Quebec City and Montreal. I invite Canadians to share images of their favourite spots in this great country of ours.
Stumbled upon some vintage English 60's war comics on the used book stand in my local COOP yesterday. Some of these can be quite valuable, but they brought me back to a family trip taken to England when I was 10.
I do relate to losing the reading glasses. But, in my case, I complain I've lost them and my son says, "Dad, they're on your head".
Bravo! Stand up against Smith and her #separatist agenda. Count me in! #ForeverCanadian #ElbowsUp #StopTheUCP #DeportDanielleSmith
As we all suspected The reptiles are in charge.
I think we all know why the Epstein files are not being released. Dirty Don stars in them.
