Proud is an understatement. Progressives in BC now have political home, under the clear, bold vision of @emilylowan.bsky.social. Moderate politics are not enough to stand up against the oligarchy. Her campaign shows that people are ready for a true leftist vision. The movement is growing! ⚡️🌿

The real way to help children with autism and neurodivergence is to FUND SCHOOLS. Fund the welfare state. Create opportunities for parents to have an education and well paying jobs. More EAs in school, more doctors. Our society is anti-child, and this is why so many children are in burnout.

Ben Mulroney is blurring the lines between journalism, business, lobbying and partisan politics The new host of Global News’ national political news show also works for registered lobby groups, advises businesses and hosted election events for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives earlier this year

So, the Charlie Kirk memorial was a literal nazi propaganda rally hey?

This Monday, Conservative MP Rachel Thomas called for support of free speech - even offensive speech - in relation to Charlie Kirk's assassination. Today, the Liberal government announced the Irish group Kneecap is banned from performing in Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Linda McQuaig (@lindamcquaig.bsky.social) asks why Carney is backing costly nuclear instead of fast-tracking renewables. Our call for a Youth Climate Corps is the real nation-building project we need. 🌱 📖 Read the full piece here: rabble.ca/columnists/m...

conspiracy theories bad, but i am side-eying that an actual human, typing on his phone in 2025, would actually write "I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle" like what is this weird dated homesteader speak

It's disturbing to see how quickly an anonymous doxxing website went live following the murder of Charlie Kirk. Although the website claims it isn't doxxing because it's all publicly available information, that is a blatant lie and fabrication. Here's why ⬇️

This is what happens.

"The March for Australia rallies [..] resulted in violent clashes." "[M]en kicking women and Indigenous elders [..] and hitting them [..] with poles." "A similar 'Canada First' [anti-immigration] rally is planned for Toronto this weekend." #Canada #Australia #Housing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

The March for Australia neo-nazi rally was not an isolated incident of fringe extremism. While some protesters chanted “Australia for the white man,” others insisted to reporters they weren’t racist, claiming they were only worried about unaffordability, which they blamed on immigration.

BREAKING: Israeli Forces Intercept Gaza Aid Flotilla and Take 20 Crew Members Captive The ‘Handala’ is the third aid flotilla ship attacked in the last year, as Israel continues to starve 2 million Palestinians. — @premthakker.bsky.social reports. READ: zeteo.com/p/breaking-i...

While Palestinians in Gaza die of forced starvation, Netanyahu appeared on the Nelk Boys podcast joking about fast food and spouting lies. This disturbing convergence of war crimes & pop culture shows our collective detachment from humanity. 🧵 erinblondeau.substack.com/p/nelk-boys-...

@breachmedia.ca's election coverage so far is great. It's fascinating to hear ppl on the street explain why they are voting for the Cons. Several people talked about how the Libs are communist & repeated the "we will eat nothing and be happy" conspiracy theory www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U-w...
