I don’t foresee a point in my life now where I will ever set foot in the USA unless I’m sent there as part of armed forces to resist them or to celebrate the complete collapse and prosecution of the GOP regime by invitation from a US friend.

Recently, a feminist scholar told me about patriarchy: it doesn't accept borders. Very basic, but applicable to so many situations: land grabs, disregarding state institutions and int'l law, rape, femicide, domestic violence, even traffic assholery, it's everywhere. Patriarchy on steroids: fascism.

Fox News has groomed a huge swath of your neighbors/relatives/friends to reject empathy, sympathy, education, curiosity, kindness, and tolerance as “woke” All they’re fed is lies, hatred and resentment

Watching from a different country, it's always been a bit of an eye roll when all the gun freaks in the US kept saying we need them to protect against a bad government and it's been made clear with all this shit is what a lot of us knew...it was really about "protecting against brown people" racism.

Ink Radio signing off for now. Keep the volume where it helps, and your feet on the ground. Remember: sound is how we find each other in the dark. Keep choosing songs that steady you, ones that remind you who you are. That’s not escape. That’s survival. I’ll be back. You keep the music going.

I, for one, cannot understand why men like Rupert Lowe are opposed to banning X, despite it assisting sex offenders, paying people to invite the foreign powers to invade the U.K, and allowing state-sponsored cyber warfare against our democracy. It's a real mystery...🤔

Most of us got a song that says: “This mattered to me. Maybe it will to you too.” So we pass each other songs instead. That’s not noise. That’s people finding each other in the dark.

True moral courage is standing firm when you know you are outmatched. The odds are against you and the pressure is on. Silence would be easier But that's not what we do. Because right still matters.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

It’s almost as if Poilievre has a motivation to specifically push pipelines on behalf of US oil and gas.

Our PM is meeting with allies, shoring up defence pacts, meeting another superpower (China)… Poilievre has spent the week talking about “Venezuelan oil is gonna make ours cheaper build pipeline now.” He NEVER fails to NOT rise to the occasion. Like erectile dysfunction. #cdnpoli

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

I'm no fan of burning fossil fuels, but the fact that no Conservative leader in Canada has even suggested building our own refineries is telling. We'll build a pipeline to the moon before Poilievre will do "Canada First" when it comes to critical resources.

Morning.

I think we all need this. Sound up. Tim Conway, Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, and Dick Van Dyke and probably the greatest TV blooper in TV history. Laughing is self-care. #cdnpoli #uspoli #elephantstory

Canada *now* swims in a shark tank? ”It’s “getting easier to imagine Mr. Trump employing heavy-handed tactics to coerce Canada”? Venezuela/Greenland didn't come from nowhere. Remember the tariffs? The 51st state? The booing? What do pundits and politicians think has been going on for the past year?

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. The word for "ice" in this context translates the same as "kidnappers" or "body snatchers"

Right now it should be absolutely clear why Canadians didn't travel to Minneapolis to watch IIHF World Junior hockey. That is why the stands weren't full.

If the the president of the US is supposed to ask/have authorization/green light from Congress to take military action against another country, shouldn’t the military chiefs make sure that authorization is in place BEFORE proceeding with any operations? This seems to be a very flawed process to me.

The 🇺🇸 doesn't care about International Law. They reject & sanction the ICC. They arm war criminals, commit extrajudicial killings, & attack a sovereign nation. They're now threatening to seize 🇬🇱. Eventually, they will come after Canada & try to partition the Arctic with 🇷🇺. They are not our allies.

Prime Minister Carney 🇨🇦 - Canada Is Athens, the US Is Rome. A compelling Greek-themed metaphor for the Canada - US relationship has captivated social media, drawing parallels to the ancient world’s power dynamics, specifically between Athens and Rome. #cdnpoli greekreporter.com/2025/05/30/c...

This is a true favourite and always has been. I love it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE9X...

We need to start using the right words here and the RCMP needs to step it up. Advocating for the change of government by use of force is the crime of sedition. Receiving foreign aid - financial or otherwise - to do it, crosses into treason. A lot is crossing the line lately. #cdnpoli

Oh! And I’m REALLY REALLY fucking tired of people and politicians saying how fucking horrible and broken our country is. Just. Fucking. Leave. Leave. Go. This isn’t North Korea. You can leave. Pack your shit and go where you’ll be happy. #cdnpoli

What, what?! You mean have CANADIAN owned refineries process our own oil rather than sell it below market rates for U.S. oil corps to make huges profit from.....?! U.S. owned Alberta won't like that one bit. #cdnpoli #canada #fossilfuel www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Hilton Hotels doubles-down on their support for the American Gestapo. When looking for a hotel, there are *plenty* of other choices.

I had dinner with an old friend last night who told me, as if it were nothing, that they and their spouse are taking a cruise departing from Florida next month. They were in total denial about what MAGA signifies for Canada, totally dismissing it as “Trump being crazy”. 😳

Don't buy American. Don't ever travel there. Don't stop supporting Ukraine, Greenland, and Denmark. Do buy Canadian or from our true allies. Do write the PM in support of Gripens (over F35's) and our allies. Do inform and educate. DO PREPARE as the USA is coming for us.

If a song or playlist here helped you feel a little less alone, feel free to pass it on. To the next person scrolling quietly, hoping music might say what they can’t yet. That’s how healing travels. ❤️‍🩹

Sweden and Finland want citizens to be prepared for war. Should Canada do the same? YES. The U.S. is a rabid dog who's naked aggression is on display for the world to see and hear. #cdnpoli #canada #boycottusa #fascistusa #racistusa #maga shorturl.at/AZkDO

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

Bob Rae states it clearly. Elbows up Canada substack.com/@franann61/n...

“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.“ -Justice Robert Jackson, Nuremberg trials, Sept 30., 1946

When you’re dealing with gangsters, a “trade bazooka” sounds like a useful piece of equipment for the EU.

Pierre Poilievre likes socialism just fine, he just doesn't want regular Canadians to participate. "All for me and none for you" is his slogan
