Dear Americans, I love you like a sister or brother, but I'm not following you back because my feed is already swamped with US news. I wish you every success in your struggle to reclaim Democracy!

I really like this bit from the TV show Pantheon - kinda sorta talking about A1:
"Unfortunately,
I and the others like me
cannot be trusted with this power.
We are not ghosts.
We are not aliens.
We are not machines.
We are not gods.
We are you."

Politicians and CEOs who were mentioned in the Epstein Files are either resigning in disgrace or being criminally investigated, so how is it okay for the orange felon to remain in power when he is mentioned the most in the files as well as is actively covering up damaging info.

BREAKING: As the Super Bowl gets ready to kick off in Las Vegas, someone just protected this video onto a building there!
It’s the “P-do Bowl” featuring the men who are in the Epstein files the most.
Hint: Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick and Steve Bannon are the all-stars of this game.

BC legislators passed the law UNANIMOUSLY in 2019, when EVERY MLA from EVERY party voted for it as a route to reconciliation. Eby's plan to rewrite DRIPA and have the Supreme Court put limits on it is a shameful betrayal of First Nations and an unacceptable return to the colonial status quo.
![Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act
The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (Declaration Act) establishes the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [151KB PDF] (UN Declaration) as the Province’s framework for reconciliation, as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
Passed unanimously in the B.C. legislature on November 26, 2019, the Declaration Act came into force on November 29, 2019. B.C. is the first jurisdiction in Canada to formally adopt the internationally recognized standards of the UN Declaration.

The Declaration Act mandates government to bring provincial laws into alignment with the UN Declaration and to develop and implement an action plan to achieve the objectives of the UN Declaration in consultation and co-operation with Indigenous Peoples.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m37osdt5t2a4fqxgr2c7uuxl/bafkreihleon4du3rz5mhskpfdauqvgbrpv66m4albilxavmtf5wuz6re3m@jpeg)

LNG Canada’s facility in Kitimat, B.C., burned more than 1.7 million cubic metres of gas on a single day in September.
While that day was an outlier, documents obtained through a freedom of information request reveal the facility consistently burned 15 times more gas per day than expected.

You can scream all you want about the election being rigged, but your lawyers lost their licenses and went bankrupt. We all heard you beg for 11,780 votes. Your poll numbers are in the toilet. The economy is shot, except for your $4B grift. And Epstein is not going away.

Holding leaders accountable is European thing.
It's a South America thing.
It's an Asian thing.
But it's definitely not an American thing.
American leaders (as happening right now) are basically free to rape/pillage/rob/defraud with absolutely no accountability.
Millions in the US love that.
