People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

The media needs to stop referring to RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic." He is a conspiracy theorist and a vaccine denier.

Carney be like "what is ur murder-to-GDP ratio" before handing out G7 invites

Greta Thunberg knew that something like this would happen--that she and the rest of the team would be kidnapped by Israeli forces. But she knew that her presence would increase global awareness of the genocide in Gaza. That is courage. Brava. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The outcome of this battle against fascism is not yet decided, but a reminder to Canadians: Remember which of our leaders were calling for closer integration with the US just a few months ago. They have poor judgement and should not be listened to. They cannot see what is obvious.

Without better protection, residents warn N.S. coastline risks 'death by 1,000 cuts' #NovaScotia Infill projects often regulated by provincial rules, where municipalities have no power #HoustonFail #PCGovernmentFail #WhereIsTheHelpfromHouston www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That means the school's students are taught the earth is 6,000 years old, it was created by God in six days and humans lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Fiction! They’re teaching fiction! WTAF?!? Why is this allowed? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Open letter to Prime Minister Carney from 412 Canadian academics, lawyers, former ambassadors, ministers, public servants, and civil society leaders, urging immediate action to stop the genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people. www.alexneve.ca/blog/prime-m...

Let’s stop messing around and stop being selfish: Six babies in ON have been born with congenital measles… they may have permanent brain issues. Go get vaxxed. Not sure if you have been vaxxed? Call your local health unit. This all was/is preventable.

When many of us said antivaxxers are dangerous, we were told to be more diplomatic. There’s nothing as diplomatic and necessary as the truth. We need an all out campaign against antivaxxers.

I don’t think we are talking about Greta being held by Israeli forces enough

I have very little bandwidth at the moment for well thought out & researched/cited emails but I managed to send a few lines mentioning my connection to the local school community & closed with this @tomflood.bsky.social image imploring them to not be that city.

SORRY: TOMORROW! I meant TOMORROW! You still have time to send your letter and have your voice heard TODAY! Let our mayor and councillors know that making our city more bike and pedestrian friendly is the way of the future already being adopted by innovative cities moving away from car dependency!

Greta Thunberg Message

i thought i studied enough english but it now seems that i dont cause i'd never figure out that 'divert' means to 'kidnap'

Amen.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canadians would really appreciate it if Canada could lead the way in ending this genocide!! Are we just not gonna say anything about a boat full of activists bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza being taken over and kidnapped??!!! www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/s/...

So uh… Greta Thunberg is a prisoner of the IDF after they illegally raided her ship carrying aid in international waters?

1/4 As someone who has published a lot of scholarship on state failure, I want to be very clear about the current situation. This regime is a few weeks maybe a couple of months away from destroying our democracy. It has surrendered the economy to oligarchs, uses its office for personal gain…

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Update from Freedom Flotilla Coalition Press Officer, Hay Sha Wiya: "The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white paint-like substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio."

Should the @liberalca.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social who are talking about “decarbonized oil” be charged under Canada’s new anti-greenwashing law (Bill C-59) that they recently bought in? Decarbonized oil? Do you mean hydrogen? #cdnpoli #bcpoli @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social

The IOF has boarded the Freedom Flotilla and detained the humanitarian delegation. The communication has been cut off.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canada must tell Israel its actions are utterly unacceptable.

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. It’s become just part of our lifestyle at our house.

This tweet alone warrants his impeachment and removal.

ICYMI My op-ed with @drgorfinkel.bsky.social in @thestar.com As Ontario pumps millions into for-profit health care, public health care will suffer www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

Newsom: The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

We should do this as well for those at high risk, and allow everyone else to get boosters every 3-6 months.
