The US is a far-right illiberal democracy, not unlike Hungary under Orban, but on a scale never before seen in human history. The potential effects on global civilization are catastrophic. We need to isolate the US from the world as a matter of self-preservation.

The backlash against the Spotify logo is vapid rage cycle clickbait. We get it, you hate everything and like to be extremely petty and noisy about it 😏 #Spotify #RageCycle #DoomScrolling #FuckOff

Harm reduction saves lives by reducing overdoses, preventing disease, and connecting people to care. Abstinence-only fails substance users, with higher rates of illness, overdose, and relapse. #HarmReduction #DrugPolicy #SubstanceUse #Substances #Drugs #Health #Healthcare #Canada #Politics #CdnPoli

Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis due to discrimination and culturally inappropriate treatment. Harm reduction saves lives and can help preserve cultural identity. #HarmReduction #DrugPolicy #Health #Healthcare #SubstanceUse #Indigenous #FirstNations

AI doesn’t make people stupid. It reduces cognitive load by offloading some work, the same way Google or calculators do, without harming our ability to think. It extends thought rather than replacing it, letting us solve harder problems faster while leaving our underlying skills intact. #AI […]

The circumstances around Tumbler Ridge are becoming clearer. This was committed by a person who should have never been around guns, but who was clearly raised around a plethora of poorly secured weapons. A modified long gun in particular was used, and the shooter's parents had a long history of […]

This was obviously a right-wing coup orchestrated by Machado, in collaboration with the US. This would also explain the ease of Maduro's capture. She is openly placating the tyrant who invaded her country. Conservatives will only ever be loyal to their own self-interest. It is foolish to trust […]

You don’t have to approve of substance use to support harm reduction. You just have to care whether people live or die. Harm reduction is risk management, not endorsement. #HarmReduction #DrugPolicy #SafeConsumption #SubstanceUse #Drugs #Substances #Health #Healthcare

Canada will be sending troops to help defend Greenland against the United States. So is the rest of NATO (except, of course, the US). Bullying does not work. The Americans apparently don't realize this. Bluster is not substance. Trump is not strong. He is a lonely, isolated grifter. #Canada […]

Innocent until proven guilty is a legal rule that limits state punishment. It isn’t a claim about reality.

The US is not in control of Venezuela right now, and is not in a position to attempt to run it. The country is still operating under the Maduro government, with the Vice President as de facto leader. There is no ongoing occupation. However, power is not the same as legitimacy. While the Maduro […]

History makes it clear that the US is uniquely terrible at foreign occupation. This is likely to turn into a protracted guerrilla conflict that ends in a devastating failure for America. The US is mid-collapse. It isn't even able to take care of itself right now. Even at it's height, it was […]
