When a US President posts an AI video which literally shows him shitting on the country, it's a real sign that he's lost support.

 

Public documents show the Department of Homeland Security has contracted to purchase a pair of top-of-the-line Gulfstream jets for the secretary and other top officials.

 

The "No Kings" protest is taking place in cities across the country in response to Trump's masked ICE agents and the deployment of troops in American cities.

Not just cities, but a ton of small towns too. Find one near you

Despite deep green credentials — including a five-year stint as United Nations special envoy for climate change — Carney has scrapped a number of environmental policies introduced by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, and struck a notably friendlier tone on fossil fuel production. He’s fast-tracked approval for a liquefied natural gas export facility expansion in British Columbia, opened the door to the possibility of a new oil pipeline to the country’s west coast, and hasn’t ruled out abandoning plans for anemissions cap for oil and gas producers.

Pressed on his plans for the cap, Carney repeatedly responded that “a desired outcome” — in this case emissions reduction — “is not a policy.”

 

A federal judge threw out their climate lawsuit against the president a few days ago. But legal experts say there was a silver lining in the judge’s opinion.

I have to disagree here: symbolic actions are how you get people hooked on action. Big ones like this have a significant bandwagon effect. Its very much a good use of a couple hours

The Germans didn't have any kind of huge protest movement. They executed people for doing things like holding a private dinner in honor of Einstein.

Big protests are a key part of how we avoid that situation.

I'll happily welcome anybody who flips because they recognize how awful Republican policy is. That's important if we are going to have a durable majority

The brainwashing is much harder when its your own community turning out

They care enough that they're trying to talk it down. Having a big chunk of the population turn out to tell off a dictator is a key step in how they lose power

Symbolic actions lead to practical ones — My friend group has been canvassing for Yes on California Prop. 50. Making popular support visible gets more people on your side, so we are all taking a couple hours to attend the rallly.

Basically, if we start shooting, that will result in a military response, and the US military is really good at massacres.

Lol no. The point of the pipeline is to enable Canada to sell tar to South America. No benefit for Americsns other than the pipeline owners
