I was able to return to school and rebuild my life after divorce because student loan funding was restored after Ontario tried to make single parents ineligible back in the late 80s. Ford must to allow students to access meaningful futures. Restore OSAP funding. c.org/XTmN9x5hVN

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Hey there, Bluesky. Have learned much here & hope I offered some support & insights in our time together. A recent interaction alerted me to the toll it's been taking & I've decided to leave y'all to it. You'll be in my heart, which, damaged as it is, will find gentler ways to engage. ❤️

Well, I think I do understand it. The purpose was to present both sides and news outlets did that. Ripping it up allowed for the creation of news outlets like Fox which are ideologically based. If I am wrong, enlighten me. Don't just high horse me.

Maybe news outlets could divvy up months or weeks, even, so those engaging don't burned alive. It is hell in there. Coordination is a good word.

It is an interesting question. Most of the far-right, I think, get their info and daily hate online from Fox and X and TruthBullshit. @rawstory.com just left X and most fact-based reporting outlets have too. That echo chamber needs to be breached but I sure don't have the stomach for it.

No. This started with the killing of the Fairness Doctrine fifty years ago, the purpose of which was to ensure viewers got a balance of viewpoints. It was Reagan who did it, and the Republicans knew exactly what they were doing. The game is always a long one.

I am so so so sorry that this happened to Kady and that this kind of criminal activity is being activated by the hateful practices and privileges of those who call themselves Christian. Fundamentalist religion is, and always has been, the arbiter of hate.

Canada saw a record rise in young male voters in last election, most of them voting for our Trump-mini-me. It's indifference to truth in media they consume. Joe Rogan style podcasters & others who get extremely wealthy telling underperforming young men their pain is the fault of liberals & women.

In some states, the right of a woman to determine what happens when she becomes pregnant now extends to what happens if she dies while pregnant. Any previous medical or end-of-life directives are mooted by her pregancy.

Well, yeah. Just letting people die would definitely be cheaper than "medication for li-i-ife." And let's hope no scientific breakthroughs are ever legitimated again because who knows who might benefit - strike that - take advantage next!

It is crucial that the separation of church and state be preserved if only because a) churches don't agree on what they consider sinful so everything will be 'cause they won't offend each other, & b) whatever it is, it is very likely part of your, or someone you love's daily routine.

Of course, actually reading the full text of some books called "sacred" might lead some to even greater acts of violence and genocide than they might have, in their previous ignorance, imagined it to have contained.

This is hugely disturbing. As we become more comfortable using AI - damn, I use it to create music - the idea that pre-conditions can be written into it is chilling. Read an originating article on the grok white genocide issue and ask, "If it hadn't been so obvious, would I have even noticed?"
