There's a reason previous Liberal governments looked at privatizing airports and didn't go through with it. Private investors don't want a stake in our public assets to make them better. They’re in it to make as much money as possible for themselves - while workers and passengers pay the price.

"Why are the kids all addicted to sports gambling & social media? Why are people so lonely these days? Why can't we build community anymore?" Because we've eliminated free 3rd spaces, everything's expensive, only place to hang is a $7 for-a-coffee shop & we can't even sit on a goddamn park bench.

Yes, we need to keep talking about ICE's brutality - absolutely! But we also need to talk about resistance to help us remember that throughout history, people have *always* resisted and it's how progress is made. Fascism doesn't just "go away." It gets kicked back into the dark by brave people.

Intimate partner violence, like sexual violence, is proven to be a crime of escalation. Looking at a 40 year old man with no criminal convictions & deciding "Yes, he threatened her *in writing* but let's give him another chance" is how you end up with 2 dead children & a tortured mother.

Obviously let's continue to reduce, reuse, recycle, limit car and flight travel, call out content creation that promotes overconsumption, etc. But one of the biggest things we can do on an individual level is refuse to normalize it. These weather systems are not normal, even if they're now common.

One more time with feeling : Conservatives denigrate art and social sciences because they don't want us to imagine a different world; they don't want people getting the grand idea that life isn't just meant for toiling away for the capitalists. It's anti-intellectualism and it's loser behaviour.
