This is the way. Respawn after suspension for nothing is a win for the fascists that control the algo and the app, not for us. X is a data vacuum to fine tune further disinformation. Anybody still posting is helping musk and thiel destroy democracy by improving their AI-driven micro-targeting.

In the face of disinformation, defenders of democracy are often drawn into endless battles against falsehoods. This is precisely the trap laid by anti-democratic movements. But we don’t have to play along. Read our our latest statement 👇 www.disinfo.eu/we-fight-dis...

If you take CBC vote compass, one thing that will become clear is that there is no "perfect" party for most people. I end up voting for the party I most agree with. I'm most in agreement with Liberals and I'm furthest from agreeing with PPC. But, I'm not 100% in agreement with any party.

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

The way to end the war is not to feed fascist Russia’s imperialistic appetite with democratic Ukraine’s territory, but to starve the Kremlin of energy revenues - collapsing its petro-economy and forcing it to withdraw from Ukraine, sue for peace, and start paying reparations.

One thing about our Federal election here in Canada is if things do go poorly dispute Carney's attempts to offset all the damage of Trump and his tariffs, the Liberals will be blamed for it all. It's like the pandemic... the Liberals got blamed for the effects of that too.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

I came to Canada as a temporary foreign worker (TFW) under Harper, when he made it legal to pay foreign workers less than Canadians. It was Trudeau who scrapped that. Trudeau changed that rule so that there was no incentive to hire a TFW over a Canadian. #Cdnpoli #TFW #CanadaImmigration

The last half century of politics can be summed up thusly: RW party: Convinces people that blowing their leg off is good LW party: "I'm sorry, but people now believe blowing their leg off is good, this opinion is now an immutable truth forevermore, so we must now say we agree it's good"
