SEIU Local USWW President David Huerta was assaulted in the raids launched by military-gear-clad ICE agents in LA on Friday. He was injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. He has been released from the hospital, but remains in custody #FreeDavidEndRaids #SolidaritySummer

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

In a move to change cultural attitudes about childbearing, the Trump administration may soon start bestowing mothers of six or more children a special medal. Here's a not-so-fun fact: This idea was popularized in Nazi Germany.

Wtf is inflation tax? What a bullshitter.

None of us knows how this will end. But the Trump Department of inJustice is working against the rule of law. If you’re a government lawyer who wants a legal career beyond the next four years, I hope you’re seriously considering your career options now. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-f...

Il y a 50 ans, dans la foulée de la fin de la guerre du Viêtnam et du début du génocide au Cambodge, le Québec a joué un rôle de précurseur dans l’accueil des réfugiés. À l’heure où la la solidarité internationale s’érode, retour sur un élan d’accueil exceptionnel 👇🏽 lp.ca/d42abX?shari...

In addition to his residential school tweets, Gunn was criticized for posts like the “gender pay gap doesn’t exist" and systemic racism is a "myth." Gunn is also critical of diversity hiring in the military, suggesting “apparently white males need not apply.” (70% of Canadian military is white men.)

An update from the Poilievre campaign by Evan Dyer. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Veteran photographer describes how Poilievre's campaign staff treated the media, and the public, at a Newfoundland fishing village.

I agree. This is what protecting Canada means. Now let’s demand same for other public services.

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social She is a truth teller. CTV is not.

A petition criticizing CTV for caving in to political pressure and demanding they bring back Rachel Gilmore’s fact-checking segment has received several hundred signatures: www.change.org/p/petition-t...

Et ainsi s’installe l’extrême droite, partout. Honte à CTV

Donc si je comprends bien, malgré la loi 21, la misogynie a augmenté dans les écoles. P-ê que le problème c'était pas les femmes avec un voile, mais les algorithmes misogynes qui empoisonnent la société. www.journaldemontreal.com/2025/04/02/l...

And this is exactly how fascism settles in. Bravo CTV. You should be ashamed.

I see people posting links to GoFundMe accounts to aid Myanmar. I'd discourage this. It's better to donate to aid organizations that are capable and experienced. Some good choices are the International Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, WHO Foundation, World Food Programme, and UNICEF.

While PP promises to “champion workers” and “work with our unions,” the leader of the Conservatives is also receiving endorsements from anti-union “open shop” lobbying firms. pressprogress.ca/anti-union-l... vm.tiktok.com/ZMBPSPLLL/

Nathan Cullen is right. Protecting Canada against the US threats means protecting what differentiates us: our solidarity, our social programs, and our public services. For that, we have to make sure there is a strong progressive voice in Parliament.

À lire, même si c’est terrifiant

🎯 Finalement, on va avoir un gouvernement conservateur majoritaire mais avec le moins épeurant des conservateurs.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

There was a court order to stop this. It was ignored.

J’y étais et c’était tellement beau.

You know… that thing that Poilievre calls social engineering ideological communist wokeness

Face à la crise actuelle, on doit dire haut et fort qu’on veut demeurer «maîtres chez nous». Hydro-Québec nous appartient et on doit résister à la CAQ qui met notre joyau en péril. Belle manif aujourd’hui avec #QS et le #NPD qui ont répondu présent. #solidarité
