How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

There can be no peace deal if #Trump is involved.

#Ukraine cannot surrender any lands or sovereignty to #Putin.

The mere fact, that #Trump wants to prevent #Zelenskyy from joining #NATO is a massive red flag. 🪶😡🇨🇦💔🇺🇦

We’ve reached the final day of round robin play at the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.

And what a massively consequential day of curling it’s going to be.

Einarson and Homan into the playoffs. Nothing else decided yet. Hold on for a wild finish in Halifax.

Mark Carney once declared the climate crisis as the existential threat of our time.
Now as COPP 30 is burning down he promotes a massive increase in oil production.
But he throws responsibility for resistance on BC and First Nations.
He is burning his credibility on a dead end project.

Saw my neighbour Steve today and he said he wasn’t feeling well so I asked him what was wrong. He said “I think I got a bad chicken wiener” and now I’m never going to ask my neighbour Steve anything ever again.

A good article on the real poverty line. The growing gap between the super rich and everyone else gets bigger every day. It is having serious political and social consequences.

Ethnic cleansing of Palestine while the #WickedWesternWorld lies by omission.
#UN #israel #gaza #palestine

A UN resolution built on Trump’s Gaza plan promises a ceasefire, foreign peacekeepers & a new “board of peace” to govern Gaza. But with no real accountability for Israel & Palestinians sidelined, is this an end to the war or a blueprint for a new occupation?
The Take: Did the UN just outsource Israel’s occupation?
Trump’s Gaza plan just won UN backing. What Resolution 2803 means for Gaza, Palestinians and international law.
