The fact that some Democrats can't figure out how to make "billionaires illegally take over federal government to cut programs people depend on and enrich their friends" into a kitchen table issue seems like a skill issue on their part.

oh

Or that the Canada tariffs are about fentanyl and the border

81,515 Ontarians are not homeless because they're "crazy" or do drugs. It's because government policies — like Doug Ford eliminating rent control on new housing in 2018 — made a 35% increase in rents possible within six years. Ontarians can't afford housing. www.thestar.com/news/gta/one...

Im starting to think the tech community doesnt have my best interests at heart

Meta could have solely funded the ENTIRE WORLD'S 2022 CLIMATE FINANCE GOAL instead of this

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Richest guy in the world is doing this

If you see this quote post with a beach photo from your gallery

Elon Musk in the oval office talking about people getting rich off of the government is an astounding level of hypocrisy.

And as an insult, usually just a gross and hateful response to empathy for other people ffs

This (and this entire thread). The use of "woke" as a pejorative, as some tangible threat, never defining wtf it means.

So we’ve got Doug Ford saying he was 100% thrilled Trump won the election, we’ve got Poilievre’s CPC saying Canadians being patriotic because of Trump is a problem for the CPC campaign, and there’s Danielle Smith enjoying brunch crepes at Mar-a-Lago. These Conservatives are just not worth the cost.

Out of 510,000 NCAA athletes, less than 10 are transgender. They are literally writing an executive order to target less than a hundred people nationwide. Republicans spent over $110 million in anti-trans ads on a made up problem.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

The corporate coup is global. Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it. They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule. They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Wherever you live in Ontario, you are paying for a MegaSpa in downtown Toronto! Find out how much your riding/city is paying for the Ontario Place MegaSpa and ask your elected rep or Doug Ford why at ontarioplaceforall.com/vote! #onpoli #topoli

I mean... yes?

And so it begins... Trump's right hand is making jokes about some of the worst murderers in history. Conservative MPs have called him a "breath of fresh air." He is toxic. Canada needs to make sure that this Nazi promoter is not able to interfere in any way in our electoral system.

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.

"Ambushed" by a plea for mercy is a real language choice.

Smallpox once killed over 500 million people. Thanks to efforts by the WHO that was strongly backed by the US, smallpox was eradicated by 1980. The US recoups their investment every 26 days in money not spent on administering further vaccinations and treating new cases.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

dude’s sheer incompetence is the one thing that gives me hope

"Masculine Energy"

I don't remember anyone ever using tiktok to go in and slaughter school children. They banned tiktok before they banned assault rifles.

Such a beautiful tribute đź–¤

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

They took Dylann Roof to Burger King after he killed nine people.

nothing is funnier than handwringing about a “leftist” “echo chamber.” oh no, people with common values sharing ideas in growth and solidarity, sounds…bad?? lol @ these ppl showing whole ass

Stay cool, y'all

Even if you condemn Mangione’s actions, there’s absolutely no reason to consider a man who choked a homeless man to death “a good guy”

DOGE is a fake government agency designed to provide flimsy "innovative efficiency" cover to corrupt robber barons as they dismantle federal corporate oversight and sell the country for scrap off the back loading dock any politicians or journalists helping the performance should be laughed at

Yeah as with many things fundamentally rejecting their false premise feels pretty important here.

This video is for Doug Ford, and all those in my replies saying bike lanes "stop emergency vehicles from getting to their destination". They *allow* emergency vehicles to get to their destination, as seen here on Adelaide. They were designed with emergency services in mind.

Omg fuck the hand-wringing about people not finding the murder of the UHC CEO tragic. No, actually, we don't have to mourn the deaths of people who oversee the denial of our medical needs, who are also responsible for many, many deaths, all bc of their greed. STFU already.

Jeff Bezos makes over $14,000 in the span of time that a worker earns 50 cents.

REMINDER: Those choosing to live in subsidized suburbs for a bigger house and yard are NOT also entitled to free-flow car traffic capacity (aka an “easy car commute”) into the city at the expense of the taxes, health, safety (hint: bike-lanes) & quality of life of city-dwellers. HT Ian Lockwood.

It's now "woke" to oppose war crimes, says the next Prime Minister of Canada.

100%. It's a simple, elegant plan for Elon and his cronies: Step 1: gut the federal workforce Step 2: secure a zillion dollars in extra contracts to perform all the functions you just gutted at a massive markup
