Well, it’s not the desert if you don’t see a roadrunner. This one dismissed me when he realized I was not going to give him any food this morning . In the second shot, you can see his iridescent blue green tail, and he is in the process of molting fresh feathers. 🪶

How deranged, ignorant, and unbalanced do White Racists have to be... To doubt for a moment the reality of indigenous genocide in N. America... Look at what whites, euro-scum are doing today in the Middle East: GENOCIDE.

At their core, fascists are frightened people, poorly led, looking for an easy solution, found courage in a mob, have adopted hate as a religion, & are easily exploited… by the messiah they look up to.

Remember: It's not enough to remove Trump & the racism, fascism, misogyny, and white supremacy for which he stands... The billionaires, CEOs, corporations, and private sector monopolies that placed Trump in power, must also be removed and their power eradicated.

The commercialism in America... the need to monetize everything... the greed ... the search for profit... Is like poison running through the nation's veins... And Carney is importing that model, that poison into Canada.

Greed is entirely inimical and at odds with freedom. Greed is tyranny: where the financial interests of the few are placed above the interests, freedoms, civil libertiea, charter rights and economic interests of the many. The only good robber baron is in a jail cell.

For profit healthcare is tyranny, the synthesis of greed over life, liberty, & happiness… Greed & for-profit healthcare, of course, enslaves, indentures, forecloses upon entrepreneurial endeavor & a thriving economy. The U.S. greed model is twice the per capita cost of peer nations.

Fantastic meeting with Tom Doran from ILWU Canada & our NDP labour critic, Don Davies. An important opportunity to work with labour leaders across Canada to fight the Liberal attacks on workers & their legal right to withhold their labour. Taking away the right to strike is a red line for the NDP.
