This is what destroyed much of my faith in my fellow humans. “I don’t believe anything bad will happen to me, and I just don’t care about you.” To this day I can’t reconcile this

This is the PR strategy fb and google have played us (and our elected officials) with since the turn of the century. And it’s worked really well for them and their shareholders. Especially Zuckerberg. Altman is now following the same playbook.

Failing to deliver on housing will be disaster for Carney and for Canada. The housing crisis is serious and is impacting the futures of many people. Claiming that the private sector will pick up the slack is the mantra of Paul Martin who put us in this disastrous slide. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In case anyone managed to miss it, we 100% have a conservative a government and I hope Carney eats a big shit sandwich.

You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Women are definitely not safe with the cops, contrary to all the copaganda blasted at us from Kindergarten onward. Most Indigenous people would agree. Based on my life experience and the testimony of the witnesses I assisted at the National Inquiry.

My personal “Don’t give to the Salvation Army” story:

We were so glad we got the NOT-PP as PM, we are missing (for now) the fact that Carney is implementing most of the Harper agenda. Hear the word 'austerity' in the leadership campaign or subsequent election? Libs run from the left and govern from the right. Carney is just a little more extreme.

Today I learned that “leftists” on Bluesky think that society has no obligation to people who are extremely high risk of COVID/long COVID, so I guess those high risk folks have no place in society. Awesome. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more disappointed.

Well, apparently Trump got his COVID vaccine

If I hear one more woman tell me “I don’t pay attention to politics and I don’t know anything about it except what my husband tells me” I’m going to scream.

Jeez with all the celebrating I thought the Blue Jays had actually won the World Series. I had to google it to confirm, no, they have not actually won yet.

I just learned that the number of children in the U.S. navigating life with Long COVID exceeds that of the number of kids with asthma. Wow.

Here’s both the legal and ethical reality: If the state can skip due process for some people, it can skip it for anyone. Either there’s a rule that decides who gets left out (which means due process still exists), or there isn’t one (which means no one’s protected). There’s no middle ground.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

In a world as rich as ours, we can craft such societies. We don’t need to shove people down, exploit them, or cast them out. It’s completely possible. We choose not to. So I don’t care if someone is significantly “non productive”. I’m happy for you if you are and that fulfills you of course!

“Post hoc ergo propter hoc” is one of the most powerful fallacies of human logic. It also features prominently in both alternative medicine and anti-vaccine beliefs.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

We don't actually have to make every type of dystopian fiction into fact all at once you know.

I was gonna write a post on Kimmel, now I don't have to. Read this.

1/ Bill C-2, the so-called “Strong Borders Act,” isn’t about safety. It’s about normalizing surveillance, criminalizing migration, and attacking Canadians’ privacy and Charter rights. We cannot allow this government power grab to pass. #cdnpoli 🔗 openparliament.ca/debates/2025...

Never quite ready for how I look when I open the front facing camera

Always right on point

Canadian COVID Forecast: Sep 13 - Sep 26, 2025 Severe: NL, PEI, SK Very high: CAN, AB, BC, MB, NB, North, NS, ON High: QC Moderate: none About 1 in 81 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

At what point do we stop saying (of Carney and his government) “they are just doing this so they don’t piss off trump” and we start saying “you know what, they’re complicit”

This is the only take that makes any sense. It’s ours, so we criticize it to make it better and hold them accountable, not defund it so we are reliant on the rich and powerful directly controlling the message.

Let’s be clear on some things. Yes, I continue to strongly support the CBC here in Canada. And yes, I’ll keep challenging & criticizing any politician that wants to “defund the CBC.” But also yes, I’ll criticize the CBC any time I think they’re making a serious mistake and letting down Canadians.

Alberta is banning The Handmaid’s Tale in schools.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

I told you so. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

You can’t “wellness” your way out of chronic illness and disability. People are desperate to believe that enough exercise, healthy food, raw milk & sunshine will make them bulletproof. Why? Ableism. They don’t want to face the fact that one day they will be disabled.

Engels died on this day 140 years ago Read principles of communism today to commemorate if you haven’t already. It won’t take more than 20/30 minutes. www.marxists.org/archive/marx...

Canada's Parliament overwhelming voted to end weapons shipments to Israel. Prime Minister Carney must follow through on this promise. We cannot be complicit in the genocide of a people.

This becomes truer the longer I think about it

Yup

Some of what we use today was made for people with disabilities first

If we even get a wiff that Carney is going to turn on our farmers we need to protest. Protect Canadian dairy!!

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

Read this immediately, and share it as much as you can.

It’s dehumanizing & discriminatory to say the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about Medicaid cuts Everyone needs to worry about millions of people losing their healthcare Invisible disabilities are real. Mental health disabilities are real. Saying some are “genuine” infers others are not

For context, she was a 6 year old they trapped in a car after this man murdered her family, then used her desperate pleas to murder ambulance crews and brave people who tried to rescue her, before this man shot her in the head.

RIP Fátima Hassouna. you and your work will never be forgotten. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Passing legislation that violates Indigenous rights, spits on privacy, and now, appeasing Trump. Why the fuck did we want Carney again?

And I hate them for it!
