They say tomorrow they’re going to announce some ‘peace plan’ to Ukraine that Russia and US prepared. Oh so that’s why Russia bombed us tonight. I mean ‘cause everybody knows bombing civilians is how you show you ready to stop bombing civilians, right ?

Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~ but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter Hmm!

Thing is, the very wealthy would have no problem paying taxes, their wealth would continue to accumulate. Once you’ve amassed a certain large wealth, it starts to grow exponentially, like a virus. An oligarchy virus. A greed virus. #TaxTheRich

Far too many Canadians think the federal government controls everything.

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association. It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier... #cdnpoli

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
