There is still zero reason to let Americans call in on this. Should Radio Ukraine host a call in-show asking Russians what they think of Ukraine becoming the newest Oblast?

i keep seeing people posting things they think are wise to the effect of “people are letting their purity politics get in the way of achieving results,” and then the “purity politics” are just like basic standards shit like “we must oppose genocide” and “we will not work with the cops”

Just borrowed an e-book from the library called The Four Agreements. I was on the waiting list so long that I forgot I had requested it, who recommended it, and what the book is even about.

I don’t think that people with conservative politics should be allowed to have queer-coded haircuts. You get lulled into a sense of security then they come out with some offensive shit. It’s too startling 😜

TIL that the co-chair of Germany’s far right AfD party is a lesbian whose partner is a woman from Sri Lanka. The older I get the less I understand the world. I just don’t know anything any more.

Poilievre doesn’t think your local paper should survive but wants to help far right hate mongers Rebel “News” that traffics in conspiracies about Muslims and residential schools. He never misses an opportunity to play footsie with the far right. pressprogress.ca/pierre-poili...
