the most important thing I have learned through my work on drug policy is that governments make policy for the future. this thread below is more relevant now than when it was written please read it

Please help Joanne! It's hot and she needs a new oxygen machine. Donate if you, and please share.

Weed gives me an extra bit of momentary chill, but alcohol makes me truly lovey and silly. I wish it wasn't so harmful to the body.

“Throughout the proceedings, witnesses detailed the devastating, multi-generational impacts of forced family separation and cultural destruction. They also recounted brutal physical and sexual abuse by school staff and clergy, which forced children to psychologically disassociate.” 😡

Gotta Hate Cops In Vancouver. #ACAB #FTP

Things your unhoused neighbors can use this summer, aside from the obvious: - candy (I get asks for this more than almost anything) - sunscreen (high SPF pls!) - lip balm (bonus for SPF) - electrolyte packets for water - cash - gift cards for fast food and/or accessible grocery stores 1/

This art by Adrian Ravenhart x.com/AdrianRavenh... So cute

Sony has done a three hit combo. I havent seen a company explode a brand thia fast since Wizards of The Coast fucked the open license.

White people: Black people commit the most crime per capita. Also white people: Cops kill more white people than black people every year. (Crickets on per capita.)

Worse than Harper. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Off-putting to shitheads who favor decorum over basic human decency. I couldn't be bothered to care. I'm not from the PR department, fuckface.

Never fucking blue no matter who.

Please donate to help Lilith, and share her post! Dire needs! 🆘

Matt Remski; "...capitalism must destroy itself through contradiction but Carney says, hold my beer: watch me smirk & nod my way through reading these death sentence bills on democracy, the rights to protest & strike, & the climate, all while I make people feel like they’re listening to their dad."

The common element to so many of Mark Carney's policies is taking away your choices. The control that oligarchs have over what you are forced to have, or not allowed to have, must be complete. It's authoritarian capitalism.

I'm not saying these are connected, but...

We are regressing so hard in Canada we are having a new save the whales movement. Next up, closing the ozone layer?

ACAB includes Steve Rodgers.

Eby said that Boultbee "[stood] up for the human rights of people that the Conservatives were willing to throw away.” oh. I wonder if she'll stand up for the human rights of people that the BCNDP throw away

Death to America today and every day.

Free Tibet is a bogus concept. Tibet was freed decades ago from slavery and extremely abusive oppression.

Great suggestions, fam! 💕

LNGEby has always been a fossil fuel guy, much like Dam Horgan before him. breachmedia.ca/how-the-ndp-...

Carney has been broadcasting to Canada that his government’s former plan to tackle the climate crisis was “too expensive,” but the reality is that climate disasters have become too expensive to ignore. (🧵1/4)

to be a leftist is to be reviled by society for being correct too soon and this is manifest in my certain knowledge that if history museums exist in 50 years the american flag will be in the same exhibit as the confederate and nazi flags and visitors will be uncomfortably silent while in the room

went to guitar center today to try out playing a fender bass VI. there was a young girl there playing seven nation army on bass with her mom, dad, and grandma just beaming at her. they ended up getting the bass for her and she seemed over the moon. gonna carry that sweet moment with me for a while.

I keep smoking bowls, but I'M NOT GETTING HIGH. It's not the weed lol which I share with two others, it's definitely my fickle tolerance.

Yesterday's pipeline announcement is yet another reminder that Prime Minister Carney cares more about lining the pockets of his corporate friends than upholding the Constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples and protecting the public from the escalating climate emergency. (1/6)

Lower BC coastal folks, a friend of several friends of mine is missing. Their vehicle left on a ferry after it arrived in Horseshoe Bay with personal belongings inside but no sign of them. www.rcmp.ca/en/bc/sunshi...

Folks supporting paywalled journalism: first, thanks. Second, @pressprogress.ca is a non-paywalled outlet whose publisher just torched her paycheque to save the org. PP is hauling huge legal weight for the industry in a SLAPP case. If you can support them, please do: pressprogress.ca/member/

We are now at the point where right-wing interests are explicitly pushing a US-style private health insurance market for medically necessary care already covered by provincial health plans Literally a US-style mixed-payer health care system #cdnpoli nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

Coming to a city near you, Canada.

"I support trans people" is currently anathema to "vote blue no matter who" and I need everyone in the latter to either listen to me or admit you're with fascists.

Telling that the oped in today's Globe offering full-throated approval of Carney's pipeline straight-up ignores that Asia -- the market that's supposed to save Canada by buying all Alberta's oil and gas -- is pivoting to renewables. This is a policy built for 1996, not 2026.

Find someone who looks at you the way Danielle Smith looks at Mark Carney.

This scumfuck is a Democrat. Have fun reforming that kind of nasty out of your party, kids. I'd rather eat sand.

@chrisrabb.com I don't know how you expect to get non-voters like me to support DSA if you're out there vote shaming us while campaigning. Instead of the fingerwag, try asking why we don't vote.

“Gazan called the Liberal government’s public statements on the project “premature, hastily drawn up announcements” which “simply amount to encroachments on the constitutional rights of a First Nation and of the Province of Manitoba.”

Thanks, America. Truly. Life just wouldn't be as entertaining without you. 🫪

The “middle ground” they’re looking for is your grave plot.

Just saying good morning….

I'm genuinely impressed. I thought Canada had idiotic Russia paranoia down to a science, but the UK is taking a shot at the title. What's more delusional: Battle Of Britain II Ivan Boogaloo, or the Great Russian Horde invades Canada over/through the Arctic Ocean?

I poured a half glass of gin & got chastised for not measuring it first (my spouse is too mindful for my own good). This is the first time I've been more than tipsy so I probably should have listened. I just figured it was a 🖕🏻 Carney celebratory drink for my utter disappointment in my government.

20,000 deaths on you @mark-carney.bsky.social Do you think they should give us a warm welcome at Eurovision?

Buy older consoles. Mod the fuck out of them. Load them with roms and isos. You did this by getting rid of physical items. Eat shit.
