This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.

Meta is a bad compnay that constantly does terrible things.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Siobhan McSweeney (Sister Michael) has also been incandescent on her Insta stories about the UK anti-trans laws. Derry Girls is Ireland's best export in so many ways.

1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force. Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.
