the enemy of my enemy is not my friend she is welcome to protest and fight but people like her will have to take that first step, and even then unless they start fighting for people like me, rather than their own self-interest, i see zero reason to extend myself for them over actual accomplices

I just got home after voting. There were 4 other voters at my polling station when I arrived & 0 when I left. Ontario, if we don't vote, we get Doug Ford again. If you haven't already done so, get your ass to the polls. It's your right and your responsibility to vote. #onpoli #ontarioelection2025

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

trump: we are going to conquer canada and make it a state canadian hockey fans: fine, we will boo your anthem at games media: these two actions are exactly the same level of bad

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is such a horrifically bad choice for Secretary of Health that even Mitch McConnell had the scant shreds of integrity it took to refuse to vote for him. So many Americans are going to suffer and die because of this appointment. So many. #uspoli

You were taught that educated, single, child-free women are unwanted and pathetic because a woman who is unmanageable through attachment and enraged at the exploitation all around her is a very dangerous thing to an institution that needs to manage and exploit her in order to survive.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

At least 100 minors—including at least 6 childre under 12—had to leave TX for abortion in 2023. Child welfare advocates say most of the pregnancies resulted from rape. In 2021, Greg Abbott shrugged off concerns about his abortion laws by pledging to "eliminate rape":

Three years ago, when the ding dong delegation rolled into Ottawa and spent 3 weeks harassing its citizens, Doug Ford went snowmobiling. He said the mayor should've called him if he needed help. Doug later refused to testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry. We deserve better, Ontario. #OnPoli

I checked to be sure I wasn't following TFG or Vance (I wasn't), and then I took great pleasure in blocking both the POTUS and the VPOTUS Facebook pages. #uspoli

Bra designers & manufacturers, I have a idea for you! Dyeable bras. Each white bra comes with a packet of dye in the customer's choice of colour. The dyes come in, say, 10 different skin tones & 10 other colours. Matching dyeable undies are also available. You're welcome. #justmakethisareality

Ever since November 6th, I have had the sick feeling that I just *cannot* face the next four years: the constant barrage of photos of TFG's repulsive mug; the horrible news attached to those photos; the damage he & his crew will do; the global fallout. And yet there's no way out but through it.

It's hard to feel positive after so much death, suffering & destruction, but the Israel Hamas ceasefire is good news. I feared the Israeli government/military would just keep going until Gaza's entire population was dead or displaced while the rest of the world stood idly by, or even enabled it.

This is gave me the first faint, flickering bit of hope I have had regarding the outcome of the 2025 federal election. #canpoli #MarkCarney
