Canadians have compiled the top 10 reasons why they do not want to become our 51st State, as literally ordered by Trump via his threats of a military takeover.
They've never lost a war! We should be more like them ... all we do is lose wars most of the time.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.
Son of a bitch is a blatant thief.

‘We to hijack his oil tankers, kill people on boats, murder dozens of people on the ground, and kidnap him and his wife because they were running a drug trafficking empire…that didn’t actually exist.’
Got it.

This is sorta the good news/bad news but really good news kinda thing: The Roman Space Telescope has completed construction (yay!) and astronomers have now discovered more than 40,000 near-Earth asteroids (yikes?) but it's good to know where they are.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y
I am so sick of hearing Trump be disrespectful to primarily female reporters. It’s repulsive to watch. Funny thing is when SNL & 60 minutes talk or joke about him he has a complete breakdown on his platform. He’s a pathetic bully to women & I am ready for someone to give it back to him.

Welp!
Trump says Zelensky “will have to make a deal,” adding that Zelensky and Putin “hate each other.” He claimed he might have to sit in the same room with both leaders.
Zelensky has to do one thing only: not listen to you.
“Fascism was not simply a conspiracy—although it was that—but it was something that came to life in the course of a powerful social development. Language provides it with a refuge. Within this refuge, a smoldering evil expresses itself as though it were salvation.”

Who agrees?

📢 We refuse to let the administration ram through the BBB and cut social services while paying the billionaires. We refuse to stay at home while people are being kidnapped by ICE. The will of the people will not be silenced 📢
Stay outside, stay loud, stay non violent and they won’t be able to win.
I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The erasures of ethical norms that President Trump exercised during his first term “now look like a dress rehearsal for the ultimate production of the second term,” the editorial board writes.
He is completely clueless about what he is doing.

Yes. Why is this allowed to continue? This criminal administration is alienating our allies, destroying our international standing, and isolating us in this world.
Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority and the ability to stop it NOW.
Why are they impotent?
