The United States is losing $12.5 billion in international travel. Canadian air travel is down 75%. Come on my fellow canucks, we can do better than that. Don't visit a fascist state. #FAFO

“Hi! Wanna commit treason?”

I'm not too proud to admit that I genuinely thought the "Grok white genocide" thing was a series of elaborate photoshops, mostly because my brain is still clinging to whatever shreds of decency it still (naively, comically) expects to see from a formerly trusted website. It's parody-level bullshit.

“This is how the Premier gets to stoke separatist sentiments without wearing the label herself; how she attempts to act as both a voice for angry secessionists and an advocate for a united Canada at the same time.”

Luddites of the world unite!

This is an authoritarian government. Act accordingly.

Only 40 years Think about that

Facism is creeping into Canadian politics. Now is the time to stand up.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Armed agents of the state should never be allowed to wear masks solely to shield their identities. We are prohibited from doing so in my department. If you can't show your face in public, you don't deserve to work for the public.

Strains bounds of propriety? Strains…bounds…of…proprietary? Am I having a stroke? What is happening?

“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

Not stating directly in the headline that the spread of measles in Alberta is because of lower vaccination rates is a choice. Someone at CBC intentionally decided not to include this information in the one part of the story that's most likely to be read.

We lost our Republic on November 5th. If you can’t or won’t see that, and you won’t fight this fascism, we’re not getting back. That isn’t hyperbole, it’s acknowledging reality.

A scathing exposé into the workings of the pharma industry and how corporate reputation and an underperforming FDA protected J&J from public accountability. This is corporate greed at its worst and I cannot believe that they have been allowed to continue like this.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

Dear Fans: I'll be off BlueSky until further notice. For music/merch/info, go to richardcheese.com. The violent assault on our rights is here and it's real. Posting memes won't stop it. It's time to stand up and take action. Less social media, more fighting fascism. Stay angry. RC

I can't believe it's gotten this bad. I mean I can believe it. But I can't believe it you know? And the news is mostly still talking about it within normal frameworks which has the effects of normalizing how bad this is.

"The judge overseeing the case against the Defense Department's firing of transgender service members revealed that the military spends eight times more on erectile dysfunction medication than on gender affirming care." www.newsweek.com/us-military-...

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

They want you to believe this 80 year old woman body slammed a chud ICE officer.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

I'm telling y'all. It's gonna get to the point where ICE isn't gonna feel safe because folks will have had enough & start fighting back/stopping what is essentially these hicks kidnapping people off the streets.

THE YEAR IS 2025 ALL CRIME IS NOW LEGAL AND NOT CRIME IS NOT LEGAL

A CMOH who levels with his province. Who isn't minimizing. Who isn't spinning. Who is treating people in his province like adults. "Measles cases in Saskatchewan have more than doubled in the past week and health officials are expecting to see new cases daily, the province's top doctor says."

This kid runs circles around the reporter

The Nazi veil is coming off.

Some say if you repeat the word tranny 3 times in the bathroom mirror, Nancy Mace will appear and inspect your genitals.

What in the unholy hell is going on??

Republicans are cowardly thugs, afraid to face their voters. Pathetic.

I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere. They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.
