‘Power and Politics’ on CBC confirms, “if you look at the seat projections, Kelowna is in play again” Let’s go Kelowna! Every single vote counts. Every one. 🗳️ Let’s flip this seat back to the people! 🇨🇦 ❤️

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

They should consider the implications of Tsilhqot’in v. Rex 2014 - no more Terra nullius, no more colonial title. They show Incredibly poor epistemological positioning. Ugh.

Classic anti-democratic move: ridicule, censor, stop journalists. Especially women : fascism demands rigid gender roles & submission to authority. I ❤️ Rachel Gilmore. CTV, you should be ashamed.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Has Danielle Smith participated in election interference with an enemy of Canada? She asked the US administration to pause the tariffs to help get Poilievre elected.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Not if we are only given one seat, which is classic colonial operations. Colonizers can make up rules to keep power.

Note that Canada is still a racist colonial country and these stats vary depending on intersecting sites of oppression and privilege like Indigeneity, poverty, whiteness, etc.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.
