In February. 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said, “I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength” You know, the same diversity that blessed us with Navajo Code Talkers and helped us win the war. Republicans betray our revolution. E PLURIBUS UNUM!

Pfc. Ira Hamilton Hayes helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima. He survived the war, but died tragically from PTSD at 33. Now, the Marine Corps has erased his memory along with other Navajo Code Talkers as part of Trump’s purge of materials deemed DEI. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

What the hell kind of Stasi bullshit is this, FBI? Just following orders?

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

If you’re wondering why the Liberal party of Canada has gained an historic amount of ground lately…yes, it’s Trump anger, but it’s also RWNJ’s like this inadvertently driving normie centrists away from the Conservative Party because…ew

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit." Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

101 of these men had no criminal records at all. This is fascism.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children. He's a eugenicist. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Dude was visiting his fiancé, who lives in Vegas. His English isn’t good so he misunderstood the border goons when they asked where he lives, he said Vegas, they took him away for questioning without a translator and now he’s been in a jail for two weeks.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

On this day in 1891, Francis Pegahmagabow was born in on the Shawanaga First Nation. He was one of the most effective snipers of the First World War and a highly decorated soldier. He became an activist later in life. Let's learn more! 🧵1/10

Kevin Hassett suggests Canadian authorities are covering up major fentanyl operations: "I can tell you that in the situation room I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone. Canada's got a big drug problem."

having been in many rooms where protests are initially orchestrated, i can say sights like this are a highly desired outcome. protests are inherently theatrical & part of that is triggering state actors to unwittingly adopt the role they were born to play.

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

Why is everything so dumb

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Americans. An insightful piece of Canadian history that explains the orange ones annexation through tariffs plan.

Craig Baird-Canadian History Ehx@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

10/ the rub is that Europe doesn't have a military capacity commensurate with its wealth. But it doesn't have nothing either. What's also true is that for anyone who has eyes to see it Trump's power WITHIN the United States is also very brittle and growing more brittle by the day (a topic we'll ...

The US no longer makes sense. You chant USA, USA yet hate each other. You love your country yet are dismantling your own government. You voted for isolationism yet want to expand your territory. You deify your constitution but you elect a felon rapist and reinterpret it at will.

WATCH: One of President Donald Trump’s most damaging strikes against U.S. climate policy is buried in an executive order that would obliterate the critically important “social cost of carbon” calculation the government uses to gauge the real-world costs that climate change imposes on the economy.
