One psychiatrist has said that Dementia has removed all inhibitions from Trump's mind. There is nothing to stop him from doing any wild thing he dreams up. I do fear he will start WWIII because his insanity will provoke it, especially now that his boy Putin is mad at him. Our media and the other branches of government have failed us. Susan
Canada to bolster national defenses with 300,000 civilian volunteers
This program will start with volunteers from the civil service, but surveys in 2025 showed many Canadians are looking for ways they can contribute to our security.
A course is being designed to train Canadians, “in order to assure the defence of Canada against domestic threats ranging from low-intensity natural disaster response to high-intensity large scale combat operations.”
A short course training in how to operate a drone, how to use a rifle, how to drive a truck, first aid, communications, cyber security, etc.
Those who join the civil defence corps would face less restrictive age limits and meet lower physical and fitness requirements. Their training would be limited to five days per year to ensure accessibility.
The real test of where Republicans stand will be later this week, when the Senate is expected to vote on a war powers resolution that would “direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.”

ICE fascists murdered Renee Good. Renee's partner died in 2023. They had a 6 year old child.
ICE fascists just orphaned a 6 year old by murdering his mother in broad daylight. They murdered her less than a mile from where Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd.
Abolish ICE. End Qualified Immunity.

Kristi Noem just gave a press conference where she said the “ICE officer followed his training and did exactly what he’s been taught to do”
If ICE agents are being taught to shoot people in the head who pose absolutely no threat… then ICE isn’t law enforcement.
They’re a hit squad.
This was a cold blooded murder and any reasonable person watching the video will come to the same conclusion.
ICE must be abolished and the officer who killed Renee Nicole Good must be charged with murder.
From Elliot Knight in Comments on HCR's post tonight about the ICE murdering Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis:
A large number of ICE agents also were at Roosevelt High School not far from where Good was murdered by ICE. They showed up at the 4pm release time as students were leaving. One student witness said they "rolled up" to the front of the school, and other vehicles blocked the street block on both sides. School staff told the agents they could not be on school property but the ICE agents refused to leave. Exact details are hard to find at the moment but, apparently, two teachers were taken by ICE after ICE assaulted them and pepper sprayed the crowd of students who were recording the whole thing on their cell phones.
All schools citywide are now shut down for Thursday and Friday. No classes are being held.
There are videos of ICE's assault on the school on Instagram. This hasn't been reported much because it occurred soon after Good's murder.
And there's no clear reason why ICE was at the school in the first place.
Deep breaths. Hang onto something. This just in from Heather Cox Richardson:
Today has been bonkers, and tonight's letter will reflect that. But while we are copyediting that letter, I want to call out something in it, toward the end, that I don't want to have overawed by everything else that's happened today. It's this:
"Today, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told an audience at a Goldman Sachs energy industry event in Miami, Florida, that the United States will take control of all oil from Venezuela for the foreseeable future. Lisa Desjardins and Nick Schifrin of PBS Newshour reported this afternoon that Trump administration officials have told lawmakers that they plan to put the money raised from their seizure of Venezuelan oil into bank accounts outside the U.S. Treasury. Desjardins clarified that '[s]ources said they understood these as similar [to] or decidedly "off-shore" accounts.'
Yesterday, Trump announced that, as president of the United States, he would control the money from the sale of Venezuelan oil."
I'll put the sources for this paragraph in the comments.
This note is not tonight's letter, which should be forthcoming before midnight (I hope!). But this information— which sure looks like Trump just announced he was planning to take control of Venezuela's oil personally and is planning to stash the cash in off-shore accounts— jumped out at me, and I wanted to make sure people didn't lose it in under the weight of today's other crushing news.
Susan! As witness:

When a Hilton hotel refused to rent rooms to ICE they had an outpouring of public support.
They should have supported that local hotel and its manager.
Instead they bent a knee to fascism.
They’ve condemned the actions of employees at that location.
They’ve removed the hotel from their website.
Boycott Hilton.
Definitely!!
DeleteThere are an awful lot of businesses we're supposed to be boycotting. It's hard to keep track.
