A conference that I was supposed to attend in Washington DC in June has been cancelled because of the unacceptable risk to attendees coming from outside the US. It will instead be held virtually. #Trump is just as bad for the US as COVID! This came after 2 people associated with the organizers were asked if they supported Trump at the border and were refused entry into the US when they said no.

"President Trump was coy about his ambitions to seek a third term in office, having told Kristen Welker of NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday morning that he was “not joking” about the possibility of running again in 2028, claiming that there are “methods” available to circumvent the 22nd amendment limiting presidents to two terms in the White House."

This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of democracy and longstanding alliance and friendships for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies.

Silly politics stuff
John Lithgow’s reading gave me goosebumps. As Canadians, these lessons are just as applicable. The next time you see a conservative political ad, apply these lessons. Its important!

Absolutely spot-on opinion piece from Canadian journalist Andrew Coyne, November 2024.
“Nothing mattered, in the end. Not the probable dementia, the unfathomable ignorance, the emotional incontinence; not, certainly, the shambling, hate-filled campaign, or the ludicrously unworkable anti-policies.
The candidate out on bail in four jurisdictions, the convicted fraud artist, the adjudicated rapist and serial sexual predator, the habitual bankrupt, the stooge of Vladimir Putin, the man who tried to overturn the last election and all of his creepy retinue of crooks, ideologues and lunatics: Americans took a long look at all this and said, yes please.”
I keep saying this is a powerful moment for intersectionality, because it is.
There are more of us than there are of them. That’s how we fight fascism. That’s how we fight discrimination, racism, bigotry, ableism and more.
We join together. We lead by example. We learn from one another.
We refuse to be divided and refuse to be siloed.
My substack is about disability justice, but I’m passionate about helping all marginalized and oppressed individuals.
I stand against authoritarianism and fascism. Against hate. Against division.
I stand for love, compassion, inclusion, knowledge and above all else… Community. We can do this.
wait... the USA bought Alaska from Russia just a few months before Canada became a country!?
Huh. Seems like... not a coincidence?
(it only officially became the 49th state in 1959)

He has now traveled to one of his golf resorts on nine of the ten weekends since taking office in January."
“Democracy is not a spectator sport.”
Fascism is endemic. Its greatest power is apathy in the face of bullying. Whether that bully is Trump or Poilievre or Putin or Hitler, I encourage you to resist. To vote. To shelter and give comfort to those who are bullied. Let’s do this!

Analogies to the Nazis driving scientists and artists out of Germany before WW2 are apt.
Once upon a time I ‘did’ mathematics and science in a very welcoming and vibrant US. I left for other reasons, but this should scare the shit out of everyone.
