Great opinions! 🍁 Quoting: “The Conservatives aren’t as much a political party as they are a ChatGPT-based slogan-generating algorithm speaking through the mouth of everyone’s least favourite muppet, Pierre Poilievre — who has accomplished nothing during his 20+ years in Parliament.”

Richard Pierpoint was kidnapped and enslaved for over two decades.
He eventually escaped to the north and fought against the Americans in the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
Today, he is honoured in Canada.
This is his story.

Trump is a predator and he won’t stop coming for 🇨🇦 - we need to be on high alert about the dark money and MAGA interlopers involved in the Alberta Separation movement. Only a small % wants to leave Canada it’s a dangerous ruse - more here youtu.be/lUzMM4u7Os4?si…#Cndpolili @lukaszukab.bsky.socia#ABAB

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

I urge you all NOT to go to work on Monday!!

Everyone call in.

I repeat everyone.

They cannot fire you all.
The 1% percent is not coming to do your job!

It’s now or never.

We only need 3.5% of the population to sit down.

That shuts the whole country down!

So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Ethicist here. You have a moral responsibility to treat yourself and others as worthy of moral concern.
People who argue that traumatizing yourself is a moral responsibility are not interested in ethics. They are interested in something else.
Not everyone in your feed has good intentions.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.
