@PacificNic I agree. Smith is spending a lot of time and taxpayer money making sure American fascists know that she’s one of them and that Alberta is ripe for the taking. @Greengordon @gemelliz

"Trump's claim that he’d rather deal with a Liberal than a Conservative in #Ottawa is the same tactic Putin used when he said he preferred Kamala Harris—while actually backing Trump.
Poilievre and Trump’s messaging is no coincidence.
Canadians won't be fooled."

@dcdeejay After reading Ford’s ‘Fortress AmCan’ the federal government bears the preponderance of responsibility. Poilievre’s obsession with private-public partnerships, favouring profit, will likely not be servicing Canadians or Indigenous communities but corporations with the people touted as benefiting the most being the ones living with the cleanup, fighting once again for federal funds to repair the damage caused by the very projects raping their land.

This is an extremely good article of all the ways Trump is bringing authoritarianism to the United States of America. With multiple experts drawing multiple parallels to past fascist regimes and also, how it is different this time, particularly with information warfare.

Wake up America.
For the love of god.
WAKE UP AND FIGHT

HE IS TRANSFORMING YOU INTO EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER BE.

What parallels do historians see between the Trump administration and the Nazi regime?

Elon Musk appeared to make a Nazi salute as he celebrated the start of Donald Trump's second term as US president. Trump’s new administration has said it will acquire Greenland and Panama, defunded US foreign aid programmes, fired federal workers and humiliated Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. Some historians draw parallels between the second Trump term and Hitler's regime. Eighty years after the end of the World War II, is the comparison relevant?

I didn't expect my post about Swedish Television mistakenly labeling Vladimir Putin as "president USA" yesterday to blow up the way it did. What I *really* didn't expect was #Hachyderm's admins deleting my post just as it was approaching a thousand boosts. This because someone allegedly reported it as "misinformation", and that what I saw on TV "does not appear to have actually happened"... which ironically is about as Putinesque a statement can be.

So how would you fact check this? A few people commenting on the post had already done that, the way people normally do — by asking for the source. And they got it. I even boosted the link to SVT Play, where the broadcast can be streamed by anyone. It's still there https://www.svtplay.se/video/jAM5B9o/aktuellt/tor-13-mar-21-00?position=135

The Hachyderm "fact checking" process doesn't ask for a source though. In fact, they didn't ask me for anything. Since there were no news headlines mentioning this blunder, it must not have happened.

I appreciate the lecture for me to "fact check my posts before posting", but the assumption that I'd want to post anything on this instance again could certainly need some fact checking.

To the rest of you, enjoy this last screenshot of Putin definitely not getting labeled as "president USA" on SVT2 News on Swedish Television. And for those of you who can't get enough of things that never happened, I'll post a video in a comment below too.
