If you're wondering how our official economic numbers got SO FAR OFF FROM HOW PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DOING, I recommend The Mismeasurement of America, Gene Ludwig's new book. Hugely eye opening.

Hitler focused on people other parties neglected as too stupid &apathetic for attention (MAGA?),gave them a feeling of meaning & belonging.Nazi pty comprised those never on the politic scene before-not alone anymore &part of ‘something big’ ignoring his lies &treachery.

Reminder that a billionaire owns what is now this rag outlet & his only goal is to stroke Trump's ego so Trump helps him become a trillionaire.

This is honestly the craziest thing I have ever read.

The Ontario Ministry of Health is requiring international medical graduates to have attended HIGH SCHOOL in Ontario to be considered for a first-round residency slot.

The level of dehumanization. There is something essentially human missing from these racists. That poor man, I cannot imagine how scared and confused he was to be going through a health emergency surrounded by people who were making it worse intentionally.

Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism

Anyone with even basic first aid (which police have to do) could have spotted this as a stroke! This was yet another racist murder by cops.
Stop viewing Black people as disposable.

AND even IF it had been drugs they didn't know which ones and if he was ODing!
Ending stigma around drugs saves lives.
