How times have changed. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis once said, “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both.”

A small act we Canadians can do today to show solidarity with folks in the US: write or call immigration minister Marc Miller and tell him Canada should withdraw from the Safe Third Country Agreement as quickly as possible. No asylum seeker in the US is "safe" now.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

may be beside the point/extremely obvious but i feel like you can only ignore extreme wealth inequality for so long before it metastasizes into something that fundamentally remakes and destabilizes the world by giving people access to so much money that they are fully above consequence

It's wild to me that believing it's absolutely possible to ensure everyone is housed, fed, has access to good healthcare and education, is the kind of thing they gets you labelled an extremist. But one person having more wealth than all of humanity combined ever has is...normal?

A concentration camp, but of unbelievably inhuman standards. Guantanamo has held 780 detainees since January 2002, when it was created. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantan... How is it going to fit 30K people? And where are the rest of the other 15-20M people going? www.cnn.com/2024/05/01/p...
