There are many reasons not to vote for pp, but this is a big one for me.

I whole-heartedly agree. Now is not the time to give up on the values of the left/NDP. (Consider your candidate and your values.) Don't let fear override compassion and community.

Meta is horrible, but sometimes I miss my friends (and the social aspect of it). I wish more of my friends were on BSKY. I also wish I could emphasize to them what filtered crap they are getting on FB. *sigh*

The Israeli military denied 82% of humanitarian aid to Gaza from March 18 to 24, according to UN OCHA. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/zidasw

I babysat over 100 children, and am SO GLAD I never discovered a 'monster' under a bed! I don't think I could sleep again! Poor kid and babysitter!

‘I thought I was going to die’: director Hamdan Ballal recounts attack by settlers and soldiers in West Bank

EXCLUSIVE: Senator Schiff calls for resignations of Trump officials over “Signal-Gate” Schiff: They should be fired, or they should quit. Meiselas: Senator, you’re calling for those resignations? Schiff: Yes, I am.

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

you know what’s the worst? no really, what is the worst? there’s so many horrible things happening at one time i can’t keep track

Moskowitz: Rather than giving a long speech, I feel like I can just use this. So, that’s a fist, an American flag, fire. From now on, when we do things where we agree, I just hold this up.

Quisling (noun): a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force.

A new safety alert bill has been endorsed by the New Mexico State Legislature. Dubbed the Turquoise Alert system, the initiative would send cellphone alerts to citizens in New Mexico in relation to the disappearance of Native American people.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

In a targeted attack on his car, Israel has killed Al-Jazeera's Hossam Shabat, who was only 23 years old and was one of the last remaining journalists in Gaza. There are no words.

Thousands of protesters rallied worldwide for Palestine, demanding an end to Israel's war on Gaza.

MAGA Cons & Pierre Poilievre are morons. They scream for years at Trudeau to resign. He does. They scream because he did. They scream at Carney to call an election. He does. They scream because he did. 🤡🤡🤡 #cdnpoli

Part 1 on neighbors being disappeared by the US government.

The attack in Ajax is horrifying. Islamophobia has no place in Canada. This hate-motivated attack is a reminder that divisive rhetoric is a stain on our country and not part of our Canadian values. My heart goes out to the victim, her family, and the Muslim community. I stand with you.

Traitor.

I wish my friends who thought I was overreacting (when I left Meta) could read this.

"“People thrive off of fear. I’m not giving anyone that space in my mind,” she said. “The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens.”"

This was made pre-Nov.2024, but is still quite applicable today.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The conman from Mar-a-Lago promised to lower the price of eggs. Now he is going door to door in Europe begging for eggs. In Canada egg prices remain stable. Here's my piece on Trump's disastrous handling of the crisis as avian flu threatens an even bigger disaster. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

She should be president, tbh

As always I’m grateful to Charlie Angus for speaking honestly & bluntly to Canadians. We shouldn’t be traveling to the U.S. right now. Our previous relationship as friends & neighbours has shifted, and we are no longer safe. Germany and the UK have issued warnings, why haven’t we?

What happens if the courts can't stop the Trump Administration? “Then we’ve got to take to the streets in a different way,” Anthony Romero, the executive director of the A.C.L.U., tells David Remnick. “We've got to shut down this country.”

'I think there's a great backlash against the Conservatives.' Tonight N2N talks to McGill University professor Veldon Coburn about the upcoming federal election campaign, how the Liberals and Conservatives may fare, and what Indigenous Peoples may be thinking about each party.

Already acting like #45, banning media engagement and transparency. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS!!!

Gal Gadot’s Walk of Fame ceremony disrupted by political protesters

There are nightmare stories of people being pulled out of airport lines and being dragged off to ICE Detention centres. We are witnessing the implementation of "border fascism." Beware snowbirds and backpackers, you have become the blood threat to White MAGA. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Premier Danielle Smith visited the University of Alberta Faculty of Law today. 👀 Lawyers and future lawyers know that Bill 26 and the UCP’s anti-trans bills are regressive, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. And they had a message for her today. 👏

From what I learned in my 6-weeks in Australia (in 2000), this doesn't surprise me in the least.

While I can appreciate those celebrating St. Patrick's Day as an act of resistance, I will also acknowledge its origins as a genocide of Pagans. Thus, I will not celebrate. Instead, I will reflect on how colonialism is whitewashed.
