Question from Canada: Are all Republicans like this?

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

Why is this permitted?

If you listen closely, you can hear Canadians swearing all the time.

Pneumonia, blindness, hearing loss and brain inflammation are just some of the impacts measles can do and these are heartbreaking accounts shared here. Measles is extremely infectious but also preventable by the full course of the MMR vaccine #MMR #Measles

“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

When it comes to sexual abusers, they're all scum no matter their wealth or status.

Bravery personified.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I’m a little surprised the USA isn’t doing better in the Winter Olympics after spending the last year proving how great they are at going downhill

Legislation designed to strengthen the electoral system against foreign interference contains exploitable loopholes, the Electoral Commission has warned Vijay Rangarajan tells @theobserveruk.bsky.social that the bill as drafted lacks “protection against oligarchs" observer.co.uk/news/politic...

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Sounds about right.

"Unwanted sexual advances" are a man's wet dream.

The world is upside down.

Well said!

What a nut-bar.

Lucile Wheeler's family had a big impact on skiing in Canada before she ever put on a pair of skis. The first North American to win a world title in a downhill event, her championships changed how the government funded alpine skiers. This is her story. 🧵 1/9

Gavin and AI show how the triumph of marketing in the US has poisoned huge swaths of the public sphere.

Excellent showing!

Didn't think of that. A perpetual Liberal majority would be terribly damaging. Having the Conservatives ready to step in when Canadians get totally fed up is good. Of course, they'll get fed up of the Cons too, which is also good.

I'm disappointed. I hope their corrective action is successful.

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it

Starmer plays to the bigots, trying to compete with Farage. A strong leader would ignore the bigots, and do what is morally right. That would attract more voters. But there is no strength in Starmer, nor in Labour.

To my surprise, CDC is still tracking how many children RFK condemns to measles. Cases are getting younger and, of course, it is spreading faster. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

This is absolutely true, and no one seems to see how obvious it is. Why anyone would vote Labour is a mystery to me.

That'd be a big Oops.

Blair is, and always has been, a crook, a liar, and a traitor. Not to mention a mass murderer.

It beggars belief that a Labour govt would ride roughshod over health unions when deciding on NHS pay. This announcement will simply increase the problems of low pay that has seen thousands of healthcare workers leave, worsening the recruitment and retention crisis in our NHS.

Blacksky.

I think this applies to our choices of leaders the world over.

This is IMO fully consistent with Sir Keir being exactly what he appears to be: a clueless bonnet ornament on a car filled with crooks and shit gangsters, forever staring directly ahead, oblivious to the horrors behind.

the point youre failing to connect to is: 1. capitalism is an exploitive system, regardless of race. 2. no one in america is more exploited than black people. 3. racist outcomes are systemically built into america's (and the globe's) capitalist structure. it isnt a victimhood to point this out.
