I’d rather be left alone these days.

Going to make the post again because some racist white lady got upset lol, but hey Christians: I’m from a different culture so I’m curious: When you guys say you’re “praying” for someone or a tragic event, are you actually praying? Or are you committing a sin by saying you are and lying about it?

Revenge.

We are all Mark Carney, today. #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦🇨🇦

I was born to rebel, praying nightly that I may never find myself satisfied in this lifetime.

I saw a Cybertruck on the freeway today and I flipped off the driver because I’m a patriot, honey🫦

Americans keep telling me about the cost of living in Canada as a stance of, “it’s worse up there” and to which I say: As a gay, brown first-generation immigrant: I don’t give a fuck what freedom costs, all I know is what the cost is when it’s not offered- which is my life.

In my lived experienced, it’s not the things I’ve already said that I come to regret- it’s all the things I hesitated to say, even when I know I should have.

“You can’t see the red flags right in front of you”

I’m just trying to making my mother proud.

I’ve been silent just preparing (mentally) if I just moved to Canada to flee fascism if only to encounter it again here, But as usual: Canadians have given me hope since 1993. Time to peacefully enter the Canadian healthcare sector and start my life- as a free fucking man.

Nothing but the best for the youngest son, as promised & delivered.

If you want to become a parent, my government will help make it more affordable. We’ll introduce a new IVF funding program to help cover costs for a standard treatment cycle.

When I walk into a room, just know the soundtrack playing in my head is Rumble from Link Wray. Also known as: the sexy guitar rift in Pulp Fiction

Hey! Good evening! Just wanted to remind you that Donald Trump is openly defying court orders, and the American taxpayer is paying $6 million to a foreign country to outsource immigrants without due process. Many of which, if I may add, have legal fucking status. Goodnight✨

I yearn for justice, not compromise- however raw it tastes. I beg for freedom, no matter the cost I must pay for it suffering. I demand acceptance, not tolerance. Call me as you wish, but one thing I will never be: a fucking victim to fascism and/or white supremacy.

Today belongs to you, sure, but tomorrow? Tomorrow is mine.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

He’s been in contempt of court since the day he took office. If the Supreme Court is the last line of defence, we’re sure testing the American democracy against something already corrupted. Fitting, in a sense, but clearly problematic.

Okay, so Donald Trump is openly defying Supreme Court orders and Americans don’t give a single fuck that a lawful permanent resident is being refused re-entry and due process rights?? Canada: America is collapsing before our very eyes.

I won’t sit here and tell you that I won’t mourn it, because I would. There’s also a chance that I will. On another day, I’d run from this realization and this truth because it hurts. Today, however, I face it with tears in my eyes- but I’m holding my ground. If this is it, I can say I tried.

Market summary:

Withdrawing ALL American stocks, bonds, retirement funds, and investitures and sending them across the border has only been my second largest action I’ve made this week. I’m investing in you, and us, Canada. From this day forward, in perpetuity. The last standing North American democracy.

Note to my children: Never invest in America again. Get out now while it's up and don't look back.

Maybe I’m a nihilist these days, but I’m honestly rooting for the American economy to collapse from the weight of its own arrogance. Yes, the common people suffer, myself included, but in order to purge fascism: we must go to war. It won’t be with our hands, but our wallets.

Fantastic question:

An updated federal government advisory warns that Canadians denied entry to the U.S. may face detention while they wait to be deported. globalnews.ca/news/1111995...

Claim by the White House: The Supreme Court ruling made it “very clear” that Trump was “well within his constitutional authority” to carry out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. What the Supreme Court actually ruled:

I bet Harper really thinks he’s helping out the CPC right now, doesn’t he? 😂

Imagine being told that standing up for yourself against racism is immediately your fault by the same people who swear up and down they are as “liberal as can be” 😂

I just hit them with the, “That’s not my lived experience, and I stand by my own. Despite our disagreement, I am wanting to listen to your lived experiences to better understand- without the need for you to dissuade my experiences for the sake of mutual respect” and they left the conversation 🤷🏽‍♂️

BIPOC: we’ve been paying the price for white neoliberals to follow their moral compass since the birth of this country. Do remember: where their values are a revolving door, ours are constant and infallible. Another generation of our children will know suffering, and we will never forget it.

We're building something big here. Thank you, Victoria. #CanadaStrong

Trump has demanded his own impeachment. ================================

I will not stay in this burning house, I will walk the fuck out of it- with my chin up and chest out, while it burns. My ancestors survived two civil wars in 1947 & 1993, and I will not be felled by Americans and their need for self-destruction in 2025.

I just want to remind my fellow Canadians again, as someone who is exiting the US back to Canada: Even with their economy crashing, with their rights up for review, with lawful citizens being deported, their education departments destroyed, and retirement under attack: 47% of them STILL want it.

On my tombstone, please engrave, “Bitches ain’t shit, and they ain’t saying nothin, 100 mothafuckas can’t tell me nothing” and know I’m that I’m flying high, AND FREE of all these aforementioned “mothafuckas”

We need more Canadians to start a career in the skilled trades. We'll cover apprenticeship costs, create more training opportunities, and make it easier and cheaper to work anywhere in Canada — because it’s time to build.

Trump's America ============ Do immigrants asking for a better life deserve to end up like this? YES or NO? ------------
