Hmm…. Suddenly The Lion King feels less like a children’s movie and more like required reading.

IQ & skill levels are spread equally across the income spectrum. “Class” is just another bigoted word like Caste or ethnicity/accent; judging someone based on family background or family/place of origin.

“Gentrify” When will anyone notice that trades require high level geometry, chemistry, physics, and business level budgeting skills? Stop acting like tradespeople are jobs for less intelligent people. Unless you enjoy burst pipes, doors like quadrangles, wiring that doesn’t connect.

It's somewhat relieving, in an odd sort of way, to realise that Stock isn't just woefully out of her depths when discussing trans issues, but when discussing literally anything at all.

When other world leaders stay silent in the face of the threat to annex Canada, President Zelenskyy’s statement from a war torn, vulnerable country, is a profile in courage. Thank you for speaking the truth.

Next time Trump moans about Canada’s farm & dairy system, someone should point out the $147 Billion in agricultural subsidies the US Government gives US farmers. Even the giant corporate farms. Far less than Canadian farmers get. #cdnpoli #trade www.opensubsidies.org

"The administrators deciding on these closures and cuts often say that they rely upon 'data points' and metrics, although they choose which metrics… Such supposedly data-driven decisionmaking often leaves aside the fact that Humanities departments tend to be revenue positive."

The right wing's assault on Religion and Humanities programs is an assault on our ability to understand the world, from Hindutva abroad to Christian Nationalism at home.

So basically this isn’t a “clear question” and therefore is the opposite of the intention of the law and the Supreme Court ruling. (Following the letter of a law but breaking the intent….not allowed. I can’t wait for a court to rule on this) #abpoli #cdnpoli

Hochul and Mamdani called out Trump for cutting $87M in NY counterterrorism funding. Trump said he was proud to restore it. He hasn’t. Instead of doing damage control on Fox, the AG should tell his boss to put his money where his mouth is. You support law enforcement? Fund them.

When Gloria Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, the honorific “Ms.” was virtually unheard of. Unmarried women were referred to as “Miss [father’s last name]” and married women as “Mrs. [husband’s last name].” “Ms.” was an assertion of individual identity. Women who used it were widely mocked.
