So many of you failed social studies and it shows. John Turner was PM without an election, so was Kim Campbell. We have premiers who became premiers without a general election. Literally begging you lunatics to read maybe one book

Russian State Media (TASS) was in the meeting.
AP and Reuters were not.
Get it yet?

Pritzker: The root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed—a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans, mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay, lesbian, and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and the minorities—once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends—
After that, when the problems we started with are still there, staring us in the face…
What comes next?
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

1) This is the executive order that establishes Trump as dictator. It’s also how Trump is going to get around the court orders and defy them. By forcing federal employees to do it or be fired. So now the president alone interprets law. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s begin⬇️

Trump went from the world’s foremost expert on water management and forest fires to an aviation and crash reconstruction expert, all in one week. He’s amazing!

Wherever @Acosta goes after he leaves CNN, that’s where I’m going.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Not every Canadian Conservative is a Trump fan. But every Canadian Trump fan is a Conservative.
That's Poilievre's dilemma, and it's why he's been quiet: how does he rebut Trump - as Stephen Harper did so well - without losing the MAGA North jerks who make up 25% of his base?

Former Canada PM Jean Chrétien:
What makes you think that Canadians would ever give up the greatest country in the world and make no mistake, that's what we are - to join the United States? #cdnpoli
We love our country. We have built something here that is the envy of the world in compassion, understanding, tolerance, and finding a way for people of different backgrounds and beliefs to live together in harmony.
If you think that threatening and insulting us is going to change our minds, you really don't know us. You don't know that when it came to fighting two world wars for freedom, we signed up - both times years before your country did. We fought and sacrificed enormously. We also had the courage to say no to your country when it tried to drag us into a completely unjustified and destabilizing war in Iraq. We built a nation on the most rugged and difficult terrain imaginable. And we did it against all odds. We may seem easygoing and gentle. But make no mistake, we are determined and tough.
Trump has accomplished one thing: he has unified Canadians more than ever. before! All of our country's leaders have come together in a determination to defend Canadian interests.
Every time Mr. Trump opens his mouth, he creates new allies for all of us. Let's organize! To counter unreasonable, raw power, we need strength in numbers.
The challenge is not to wait in fear for Donald Trump's next move, but to build a country and an international community that can resist him.
I am 91 years old today and in good health. And I stand on the ramparts to help defend our country's independence as I have done all my life. Long live Canada!

This is Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post. She resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Donald Trump and billionaires supporting him from being published.
RETWEET if you stand with @AnnTelnaes!
