eurocentric histories often use the "drink out of skulls" trope to paint non-western societies as barbaric and brutal And then these mf's are literally doing this at oxford?? The fuckin irony

MAGAs are tracking autism, menstrual cycles, criticism of Trump, criticism of Israel, Trans people, & anyone who even dares whisper DEI—but NOT vaccination rates, measles, COVID, firearms, firearm deaths, climate change, or food regulations. This is an unholy recipe for fascism & national disaster.

Have they tried nationwide classes teaching men to do an equal share of the childcare? I think that would help.

I could watch 8 seasons of this

Just voted. My riding is woefully predictable, but I waited longer to vote early on an Easter Sunday than I ever have on election day. Wouldn't it be nice if even these "safe" ridings gave the Cons a scare?

"Insiders including Meta Platforms Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle Corp.’s Safra Catz and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Jamie Dimon cashed out shares worth billions of dollars before President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements roiled markets." Good timing!

Good Friday honors the most famous innocent brown-skinned man to ever be unjustly executed by the state.

WATCH — @carolecadwalla.bsky.social : “The Russian and American presidents are now speaking the same words. Telling the same lies. We are watching the collapse of the international world order in real time… it is already later than we think.”

CBC News Fact Check reports Pierre Poilievre repeated a misrepresentation from the Fraser Institute, that Canadians pay 43% of their income on all taxes. Wrong! The Institute included CPP and EI payments which are NOT taxes, knowingly making 43% a lie. Words matter. #cdnpoli

“A group of Alberta energy executives has cancelled their corporate retreat in Jasper [a beautiful Alberta town absolutely ravaged by climate change-fuelled wildfires] because they’re mad that the municipality’s mayor wants federal politicians to make climate change a priority.” Losers & villains.

“If big government didn’t tax me, I would donate more money to charity! All handouts should be handled by private charities!” Five minutes later… “Charity is woke and also DEI, which are bad!”

I’ve seen this movie before and it didn’t end well.

Really wanna cut waste and fraud? Defund. The. Churches.

As one does...

I published this over six years ago but with prominent government officials promoting the idea that our lives can’t ever be worth living I thought it was worth a re-up www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I coached at a school without one trans kid, but the girls had to be in the gym at 5:45 am and out by 7 am because our sport didn’t matter. If folks really cared about equity in girls sports, they’d fund them and give them the same access to gyms and fields and uniforms and coaches and busses.

"Get his ass, Pope Francis" I say, wondering what the world has become

What you saw last night was Poilievre on his best behaviour He lied repeatedly, he over talked the other leaders, and he offered little more than the same 3-4 talking points and slogans And that is him at his best

Calls political opponents juvenile names Brags about crowd sizes Marginalizes unsupportive media No real success in the private sector Sells merch to supporters Wants to cancel public broadcasting Exaggerates accomplishments Supports people who occupy nation's capital Detests social safety nets

You have reached the Abyss. Your scream is very important to us, but we are currently experiencing an unusually high volume of despair. Please stay on the line and the next available void will embrace you soon.

RFK Jr is a terrible person because he is a racist, ableist, anti-vaxx eugenicist who wants people to die, not because he used heroine in the past.

Chantal Hebert nails it, True North & Rebel are third party advertisers in this election campaign. They are NOT accredited media. She also points out the time change and dropping the Greens at last minute. #cdnpoli

Good for Rosie Barton and David Cochrane for pointing out that The Rebel people confronted journalists, including them, and wilfully disrupted the debate coverage and ended the after-debate scrum with leaders. Cochrane called out the rage farming for profit. Massive failure by the debate commission

Can we all please say now, unequivocally, that Ezra Levant and his gang of Rebel thugs are not, and have never been, “journalists”, and are nothing but muck rakers and provocateurs who exist to fuel the far right and profit from their hate mongering? Yes. Yes we can. #Debate2025

The Beaverton demands same debate invitation as The Rebel, even though we’re not as big a joke

Danielle Smith fired the one person in her caucus who asked for transparency. This is not ethical or competent leadership. Albertans deserve better. We deserve the truth. #CorruptCare #abpoli #ableg youtube.com/shorts/Aei3d...

⚡️US shuts down office combating Russian disinformation, Rubio says. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on April 16 the closure of the State Department’s office responsible for countering foreign disinformation, citing concerns about free speech and the rights of American citizens.

“Under the law, a patient won't be able to refuse medications that the commission has decided they will take.” “Eric Adams, a law professor, expects the bill will face a Charter challenge once it becomes law because it will detain people and force them to take medication against their will.”
