Marlaina and PP are not just corporate suckups willing to immediately defend companies over people - they’re Cowboybootlickers. The speed at which they jumped into action to defend off site music tents over people tells you very quickly who they work for and it ain’t you.

No op-eds in major newspapers that he has major cognitive health issues. No cable news panels exploring whether he has major cognitive health issues. No political reporters in legacy media talking about his cognitive health. They're all too scared to question the naked emperor.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Why did we ever let the term “cost of living” become a regular mundane part of our lexicon? Why did we just accept this? Why is there a cost to just exist/live on this planet?

Restaurant chain in Calgary makes social media posts openly mocking Murdered and Missing Indigenous women and tries to justify it saying they were trying to dehumanize LGBTQ+ people instead. This is the level of racism and bigotry that's common and tolerated in Canada
Pauls homophobia and racist Pizza in Calgary “This is not about politics or labels,” she wrote. “Airdrie is a community built on care, respect, and looking out for one another.”

The restaurant owner has followed up with posts claiming he was unaware of what “MMIWG” meant and that he was attempting to make jokes criticizing the 2SLGBTQIA+ acronym and terminology.

“Obviously, I don’t support Indigenous women (or any woman) being murdered,” reads a post from the restaurant. “My dig is at the alphabet community.”

An adjudicator's ruling merely confirms what was already obvious. The UCP gov't broke its own laws and went to great lengths to avoid disclosing politically unfavourable public records. Taxpayers paid for these records; they do not belong to a party. #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

I never watch anything Super Bowl before - but today I tuned in just for Bad Bunny and he did all latinos proud. Every step was a nod to Latinos everywhere. It was fun - but so poignant. From the boy “sleeping” on chairs at the party to the colour scheme. Brilliant. He did us proud!! #BadBunny

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

For years the world pretended they’d have done things differently in the years leading up to WWII, that we’d not be bystanders. Today we all watch IN REAL TIME, broadcast to the world, live executions- & crickets. This is not just a Trump problem - this is evidence of a system corrupt to its core.
