“There are many targets left.”

I’m tired of US imperialism and all these other regimes that continue benefiting from it. If there was peace, the people would be united against the regimes more easily. War benefits everyone so things are never actually resolved.

Good governance is democracy's cornerstone. To activists & organizers: your work has micro, mezzo & macro impact. Therapists help us build boundaries in relationships—skills that transfer to labor contracts & beyond. Individual healing creates systemic change. It’s all connected, just like we are.

Really challenging to be a healthcare professional in mental health nowadays. The lack of community services to support people who need it is absolutely devastating, and is also a direct result of decades long neoliberal funding policies. We need strong community programs for all!

I’m almost done this very important book by Martin. It’s wild, as a labour activist and organizer, to hear Poilievre speak OUR language - but when you realize it’s a marketing strategy it makes more sense. It’s “labour-washing” - pretending to be labour friendly in order to win votes. #bcpol #canpol
Poilievre made major inroads with working-class voters.

In an excerpt from his new book, Martin Lukacs dissects his strategy—stealing the language of the left, seizing terrain abandoned by the NDP, & waging a culture war to distract from the hollowness of his offer.

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a native of Chicago who is now the first American-born pope, has spent most of his career outside of the U.S, ministering to the dispossessed and marginalized.

The “Latin Yankee,” as he is known in Rome, worked 20 years in Peru.

I used to be very active on twitter in the early days… glad to see a new platform with progressive voices grow in this manner, and provide a new kind of very much needed community!
