"During he darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight. Because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn't look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn't.. 1/2

Kovalenko stated that the Progress plant is one of the key enterprises in Russia’s military-industrial complex, and its destruction represents a significant blow to the country’s defense production. www.kyivpost.com/post/54074

Foreshadowing.

Elon has seen where the bodies are buried. Buckle up.

Doug Ford's Gov is now putting forth a motion for the Ontario Legislature to not return until October 20th?! Why? After giving themselves all a 35% pay raise.

You're a liar. And without me you'd have lost the election. The real MAGA civil war has begun. Who else is loving this?

If anyone wants to help stop Bill 5, here's a way to do so.

On Elon Musk: "We've decided in America that innovation and money replaces or obviates or excuses depravity. Cutting off aid to HIV+ mothers, deciding what veterans should get benefits, cutting off snap payments that have shown to have a positive net return. I think the two of you are more.. 1/

Yikes

It was never just about October 7th. That day is one terrible day in a long drawn out conflict of hundreds of terrible days. A conflict thats been happening for 75 years. One initiated by Israeli Zionists.

Jim Phillipoff, the Svoboda Satellite project director, says 45% of Russians get their news from satellite television. "For more than 20 years, the Russian public has been bombarded with anti-Western, anti-Ukrainian, anti-democratic, pro-authoritarian propaganda," he says.. 1/2

Being gay is like being left-handed—some people are, most people aren’t, and nobody really knows exactly why. It’s not right or wrong; it’s just one of the many natural ways to be. The world works best when everyone gets to live as they truly are. So if you ever feel out of place.. 1/2

The fights just beginning. Just like Bill 28 and Bill 124 and the not withstanding clause, this bill will eventually be repealed in the courts. And where was Doug Ford today? At the cottage?

Doug Ford doesn't give 2 sh*ts about anyone who doesn't live in a gated community along the new highway 413. Owns a business. Is a developer. Or can give him something he wants. The majority did not vote for Doug. The majority do not want Bill 5... 1/2

It's not too late. To do it right the first time. Travel across the province. Talk to the hundreds of thousands of people opposed to this bill. Redraft it and do the right thing. Scrap Bill 5.

If Harris voters from Florida and Texas agreed to relocate.

"Screen shot from last video showing that nice light-green colour of those fire resistant aspen, the only forests that stood up to the fire. This, even though aspen is at it's most flammable stage in spring (and lots of aspen did burn), the only green survival in this fire were aspen.. 1/

China is filling the void left by the dismantling of USAID. And the United States is watching their soft power evaporate in real time. American farmers are also out 2 billion a year in sales.

This is deliberately being done this month. The US Navy plans to remove the name of gay rights leader and Navy veteran Harvey Milk from one of its ships, and may change the titles of other vessels honouring civil rights leaders.. 1/2

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Amateur hour. Not a potential national security risk at all.

The two have been charged with smuggling a fungus called Fusarium graminearum. The statement said it is classified as “a potential agroterrorism weapon.” The fungus causes diseases in crops such as wheat, barley, maize and rice and.. 1/2

A woman from Chile on vacation. Kidnapped off the streets of NYC by NYPD/American Gestapo. That's her 12 year old daughter crying and traumatized btw. As Canadians and people with a conscience we have a choice to spend our money or time there. Just think about that before you travel to the US.

Every single law that is passed in the name of cybersecurity in Kenya is first used against critics of the state. Rose Njeri is charged with a cybercrime for making it easier for people to email the government their critiques of the 2025 Finance Bill.

This current iteration of American Facsim is different. It's backed by a coalition of the richest people on the plant who have essentially given up on this planet. They all share this warped facisnation and almost love for an assumed impending apocalypse.. 1/2

When Ford's conservatives were pretty sure they'd broken heritage and environmental laws or their representatives had committed misfeasance with the Ontario Place project they enacted Bill 154 to excuse themselves from any repercussions. Now with Bill 5 they're attempting to do the same.. 1/2

It's a shameless power grab. Like Bill 28 and 124 or the Greenbelt scandel this benefits the very few and Doug's buddy's. It's carte blanche for the government to steamroll workers rights, the environment and democratic processes. Scrap Bill 5.

Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤎🖤🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

The people don't want Bill 5. They want responsible development. Benefiting every Ontarian. Not just Doug's buddies. Not just those who Doug deems fit. 2.4 million people in this province voted for someone other then Doug Ford in this last election. 2.1 million voted for him.. 1/2

A genocide is the decimation of a people by definition. A Holocaust by definition is the decimation of a people, their property, their land and their culture. Everything that makes them, them. We've passed genocide. Israeli Zionists are commiting a Holocaust against the Palestinians.

Things that make you go hmm?

This is from the Alberta Energy Regulator webpage. Every time you see an Alberta Conservative (UCP, CPC) blame Ottawa for for their problems, use this and ask: Oil production is increasing year over year; Oil company profits are at record highs; Oil field jobs are disappearing; and somehow.. 1/2
