Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination

This graphic from a book published in 2000, effectively captures the basic world view that animates today's GOP base that is gleefully watching as Musk and Trump take down "elite parasites" like government experts at NIH, USAID, NWS, etc., while also punching down at "DEI" and trans "parasites."

People who claim Zelensky was at fault yesterday and should have been more “diplomatic” or “respectful” are either deliberately propagating the Trumpist attack line – or they fundamentally misunderstand what the Trumpist project is and who is now in power in the United States.

Someone on IG said that killing a French vampire means putting a baguette through the heart which makes the work painstaking and I just really need to hold space for this right now.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

Dear Manager It’s been a hard week 1) at first I was afraid! Petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side 2) I spent some nights, thinking how you did me wrong. And you know what happened? I grew strong! And I learned how to carry on 3) you’ll never guess what happened next

Lrt: I want to bounce off that a little bit. "Why aren't people doing the thing I am also not doing" having an obvious answer with a little reflection. That brings to mind my frequent recommendation: figure out what you WILL do and do that.

A really good article that has a strong academic understanding of not only Canada, but Canadians, and I think a lot of my American followers would appreciate reading it. As someone else said: "Canada doesn't start wars, Canada finishes them."

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a warning sign. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

Some good ideas. I started volunteering in my local elementary school after the US election. I am not even American but the children keep me hopeful. Also educating myself on the disinformation problem.

In the late 1960's my Dad, who was an AME minister when we lived in the US tried to revitalize the historic AME church in Hogan's Alley. Please excuse the no longer accepted language. I am the redhead in the middle.

I am glad that there will be more recognition of the historic Vancouver neighborhood. One of the thriving black neighbourhoods destroyed by highways or roads developments that happened all over North America.

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration. If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.

I agree. Some agencies who are contracted to give care are great but too many others give substandard care. And the Homeshare model doesn't work for so many vulnerable people.

Canada didn't stand alone in our fight with Donald Trump. Our allies in the Klingon Empire had our backs. They are ready to fight the anti-democratic fascist crew ransacking Washington. They say they are most interested in getting their hands on the bro-fascist "starlink" creep.

Haymarket Books has 40% off books about the history and politics of the Black freedom movement (black liberation, abolition, anti-fascism). I highly encourage everyone to read any of these books especially if you're a fan of democrats.

Message to the grifter king from Canada: "We will have no parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best. We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder." - Winston Churchill
