I hold faith that in unity we’ll create a more sustainable, peaceful, inclusive state of being. Like ripples spreading across water, our love momentum will spread. Chaos appears when dismantling what no longer serves us, bringing forth a new way of being. We have to push our realities. Hold faith 🦋

Meta banned news on its platforms in Canada. Now they’re filled with scammy ads pretending to be headlines from legitimate news sources like the CBC that the company isn’t acting to quickly take down.

“Federal judge blocks Musk’s DOGE from access to Treasury Department material The judge also ordered Musk and his team to “immediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from Treasury Department’s records and systems, if any.” Now to see if they comply.

“The United States Supreme Court has resoundingly rejected the president’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment. In fact, no court in the country has ever endorsed the president’s interpretation. This court will not be the first.”

Read history. Oligarchs have owned and controlled our government before. They’ve attacked oppressed groups, gone after migrants, and enacted mass violence against workers who dared resist. But people kept fighting. They organized. They built power. What we need to do is not unprecedented.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country. It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.
