  • The MAGA Plan to Take Over TV Is Just Beginning

    Jump

  • I suppose TV will become the universal right wing BS machine that most of AM radio has long been...

  • They want you to "quit demonstrating"

    Jump

  • "[...]And the people that are staying in their homes or doing the right thing need to be protected.”

    So about those people staying in their home, 'doing the right thing' getting illegally broken into by ICE without the appropriate warrant...

  • Egomaniac Trump, 79, Gives Himself a Deranged New Job Title

    Jump

  • Don't think that will happen...

    I predict that the most along those lines we get will be Trump, on his deathbed, getting a glimpse of a world preparing to forget about him.

  • Bro can I crash at your place for a couple of days? You won't even notice I'm there

    Jump

  • The single banana turned into a box of bananas! Excellent!

  • Without getting into current politics can someone describe to me what an authoritarian regime looks like?

    Jump

  • You asked for authoritarian, I cited something that defines a different concept.

    ::: spoiler definition of fascism

    Umberto Eco, in 1995, laid out 14 common charactistics that characterize what he describes as ur-fascism, fascist societies independent of the time and place.

    1. Cult of Tradition – A syncretic belief in ancient truths, rejecting modern interpretations.
    2. Rejection of Modernism – Viewing the Enlightenment and rationalism as the root of moral decline.
    3. Cult of Action for Action’s Sake – Valuing action over reflection, leading to anti-intellectualism.
    4. Disagreement is Treason – Suppressing dissent and critical thinking as threats to unity.
    5. Fear of Difference – Exploiting xenophobia and racism to unify the in-group against outsiders.
    6. Appeal to a Frustrated Middle Class – Mobilizing those feeling economically or socially displaced.
    7. Obsession with a Plot – Promoting conspiracy theories to justify aggression against perceived enemies.
    8. Enemies are Both Too Strong and Too Weak – Portraying adversaries as simultaneously formidable and feeble.
    9. Pacifism is Trafficking with the Enemy – Viewing life as perpetual warfare, dismissing peace efforts as betrayal.
    10. Contempt for the Weak – Glorifying strength and dismissing compassion as weakness.
    11. Everybody is Educated to Become a Hero – Promoting a cult of death and martyrdom.
    12. Machismo – Elevating aggressive masculinity and denigrating non-conforming sexual behaviors.
    13. Selective Populism – Claiming to represent the unified will of the people, dismissing individual rights.
    14. Newspeak – Employing an impoverished vocabulary to limit critical thought. :

  • MAGA demands murder charges for ICE victim's wife

    Jump

  • Posobiec, speaking from Minneapolis, insisted that "Bolsheviks" were "radicalizing the moms out in the suburbs, out in middle America."

    Their reasons are getting ever more stupid. To me that says the resistance is working and to not let up.

  • Prime Minister Carney to build strategic partnerships, diversify Canada’s trade, and attract new investment in visits to the People’s Republic of China and Switzerland

    Jump

  • Lol I just imagine a scenario of Trump capturing King Charles after hearing that the monarch is stamped on the back of Canadian and many Commonwealth coins.

    But I think Royal Canadian Mint designers would be so fed up with Trump's BS at that point, that they'd make the design an unworn crown just to spite him.

  • Judge blocks Trump's elections order in lawsuit by vote-by-mail states Oregon and Washington

    Jump

  • Make the Supreme Court stooges capitulate to Trump at every turn, rather than assuming they will. I'd say if the next Democratic admin were interested in beginning to repair things after Trump, it would be impeaching the justices that allowed fascism to thrive in America.

  • Zionists issue demolition order for occupied West Bank football pitch (Video short)

    Jump

  • Why? What threat does this field pose to Israel?

  • Toronto appointed a chief congestion officer. He says no single ‘magic bullet’ will fix Toronto’s gridlock

    Jump

  • There iiiiiis a silver bullet...

    But the provincial government is trying to ban it... and it's not popular for people around Toronto to try.

    If I were mayor, I'd put in cameras on all exits on the Gardiner (the closest available spot off provincial property)and on the DVP and 427 from Eglinton southward.

    Then propose changing one of the 401, DVP, Gardiner and 427 lanes to a bus lane, and put in a Toronto circulator bus service (TTC or GO depending on how the province feels about funding this service) that brings people around the city at speeds almost as if they were in a car.

  • Judge blocks Trump's elections order in lawsuit by vote-by-mail states Oregon and Washington

    Jump

  • This is great news. Show this to anyone who says "Trump's acting above the law so the courts are meaningless, why bother going to court?" Election workers will comply with these judgements over Trump's attempts to illegally rig the election process in his favour.

  • Why is lemmy frontpage filled with memes?

    Jump

  • Quick answer is that memes and shitposts get upvoted more than discussion, which is why it appears in your Hot/Top/Active sorted feed.

    Look at my post history if you like. My top scoring ones are memes and the more discussion and text only posts tend to get only a bit of traction. I think the number of votes is also affected by how many people are subscribed, people cannot upvote it if they or their instance don't see it.

    If you want a "mostly discussion" feed with less memes and shitposts, try looking around for discussion focused communities (my local one is !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca), subscribe to a bunch and then make your default page the "Subscribed" feed. That way you can switch between what's trending on Lemmy in general (All/Local) and what new posts are coming up with your realm of interest (Subscribed).

  • Wake up, Canada. The Trump Doctrine is aimed at us

    Jump

  • Join a peaceful protest demanding justice for Good and the 9 others shot by ICE and demanding to abolish ICE this weekend (10 Jan and 11, 2026) run by Indivisible and 50501. There are a few in or near Canada. You will probably find people who care and aware of the problem, over there.

  • Abolish ICE? DHS Too. It’s Time

    Jump

  • Might not happen during Trump, but I think it's no longer an extreme position. People were probably wary of making serious moves to abolish the gestapo while they had unlimited licence to kidnap and kill people.

  • Christofascists in Oklahoma are trying to stop a mosque from being built

    Jump

  • I knew it was gonna be "name your dream mosque" before I clicked the link.

    Some person on the fediverse has made an open source PDF editor... their other posts say its browser based. I haven't tried it but this seems to fit your request.

  • Misconduct Expert Says State Has the Right to Charge ICE Officer Who Killed Renee Good

    Jump

  • Step 1. Murderer uploads the Minnesota state case to a federal one.

    Step 2. Trump pardons the murderer.

  • Alchemy is so hot right now.

    Jump

  • If we could go back in time to tell the alchemy conspiracists about disappearing gold that would be wild.

  • Trump Administration Deploying More Border Patrol Agents to Minnesota | More than 100 agents will be redirected from other cities after the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE officer.

    Jump

  • Every state and city should sue ICE pre-emptively, barring their use for political reasons, as the department's agents' reckless behaviour and complete disregard for the law and public safety in their operations endangers lives like the one of Ms. Good that was taken away from us.
