People around the world are catching on. Children’s rights matter. #Justice

Does Poilievre know that meritocracy hurts kids the most?https://open.substack.com/pub/33danielle/p/a-conservative-convention-vote-endangers?r=3u7ca&utm_medium=ios

This is very Poilievre of him.

“One large British study from last year found that schools adopting phone bans had no better student outcomes in terms of learning, behavior or mental health than those without bans. In the US, as bans have proliferated, our standardized testing scores for youth have continued to decline.”

Colbert for President!

Purity Culture is behind the whole ban social media panic. open.substack.com/pub/33daniel...

“Teen mental health in the US and Australia had already improved even as the book came out. And there’s the irony that Haidt, who used to deride safetyism, now calls for a massive expansion of state censorship.”

The internet suppression is real. Remember kids, the internet was invented by the military, for the military.

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this. If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Can confirm.

Great piece. No war but a class war. ✊🏻 "Nearly everyone involved in the fight to cancel DRIPA is a realtor, a yacht owner, or both." They have us too busy fighting each other, we don't notice they are the ones responsible for the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, the housing crisis...

It’s disheartening the response to the Tumbler Ridge tragedy stops at “more mental health supports.” So-called mental illness often arises from unjust conditions. The mental health industry isn’t prevention. Had children’s rights been centered, this tragedy could have been prevented.

And to answer your next question, yes this organization that is trying to jail Canadian journalists is friends with Stephen Harper

After watching Bondi’s performance in Congress. I don’t think it’s fair that Republicans expect their kids have manners or be kind. You can’t expect less from kids than you allow from leaders.

We hear that behaviour is communication. How often do we hear that communication is an unmet right? #ChildrensRightsMatter #UNCRC

The tragedy in Tumbler Ridge is horrific. The calls for more mental health supports is half-assed. While needed, it’s a colonial prescription. To stop trauma in the first place means enshrining child rights into every law, regulation and policy in Canada.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Are we at the point yet where trauma informed is not enough? What’s next? #Justice #ChildRightsMatter

I have a BA and MA in Justice and considering the state of the world, I cannot stop thinking that it just may be time to reconsider whether religion should remain a fundamental right at all.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

We REALLY need to get this one some traction my friends! Bruce Fanjoy defied the odds to beat Poilievre in Nepean. He can do it again by bringing this petition forward in the House to FORCE a security check on him or resign his leadership position! Let’s DO this Canada 🇨🇦 PLS Sign! 🙏 ✍️

Alberta separatists are wannabe immigrants living on stolen land, People migrate because colonial borders and extraction made life unlivable. It is enraging that they think another country would freely welcome them, especially a fascist one.

“Denial is a core part of the horrors committed against Indigenous children, families and communities.” thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

“According to the Investigative Journalism Bureau review, only about one-quarter of accused individuals in Canada were charged with first-degree murder compared with a significantly higher rate in similar cases involving non-Indigenous women.” icmagazine.org/anti-indigen...

“This morning, I spoke to a really senior adviser to Pierre Poilievre, and he said that it took him all hell’s work to convince Pierre to finally take up anti-immigration status. And that’s happening”

Arg! PP claims to care about homeless folks while making false claims about grocery inflation. Can’t fight food inflation or homelessness w/ meritocracy. That ideology creates scarcity, blames people for not surviving it. PP exploits vulnerable Canadians & offers ZILCH for them in his platform. 😤

Yuck. Epstein dined in Yaletown when he was in Vancouver. I don’t know who the other dude is. I like this restaurant. Do you think they knew who he was? 🤢

@338canada.bsky.social I am such a fan! Today I heard childism in your The Writ video. We have to do better. Children deserve more than us making broad comparisons to adults bad behaviour. Here’s me talking more about childism. Thanks for the good work you do. #ChildRightsMatter ❤️

The Conservatives passed a resolution to stop forest fires. They have no climate action policy. So my guess is that stopping forest fires matters to them because they’re a land extraction cult.

Today the Conservatives passed a resolution to overturn the ban on conversion therapy for “gender-confused” children. Aren’t they a bunch of ________.
