In agreement, the continued framing of children as underaged women is wrong and why editors push this framing is troublesome.

I'm pondering my own media literacy but I think we need to be more direct and point the accountability to the party with the power and responsibility.

Epstein files are not a political weapon. Baseline β€” we should be a country that protects children and shines a light on predators β€” no matter what political affiliation. No question.

How is this a difficult concept?

I think we should take men at their word & restrict them from full participation in public life until they're 35 or so.

Time to stop punishing love! #ODSP, #AISH and all #disability programs should NOT claw back because of relationships, this causes stress, abuse and violence towards the vulnerable, #BC leads, will others follow?

Anyone else ever think about all the people who say "girls mature faster than boys" but it never comes up when talking about voting, buying alcohol or firearms, driving, joining the military, or workplace compensation?

For my MP: @anitavandenbeld.bsky.social there needs to be clear accountability and an understanding that our Charter rights withstand even international travel.

If you "believe women" for the first & only time re: the Epstein files, are you an ally or are you using an especially notorious case of child sex abuse to dunk on people you disagree with?

Believing women is how you react every time, not "who's Bubba?" jokes.

I can guarantee every single person Gen X or older knows men who "dated" young teens, & all the adults in their lives looked the other way. Clutching your pearls now when you've happily made excuses for your own friends & family for decades? What did Trump do that other men in your life haven't?

White American women "keeping the peace" & "banning political talk at the table" this Thanksgiving are complicit in fascism.

Stop cozying up to whiteness & the patriarchy. Say something to the fucking fascists at your dinner tables. These men brutalizing ppl in your streets should never know peace.

Media will blame the drop in Canadian tourism on literally everything except the violent fascism. "It's the weak dollar!" "It's the economy!" 🀣No sir, it's extra-judicial kidnappings & assaults, & the average American seems to be A-OK with it. Something is deeply wrong with those folks. Stay home.

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free Using lobbying, the revolving door and β€œdark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

As the other half of this team, the support and security of a spouse in the public service is what allowed me to to launch my own accounting business. It did not have to be an all or nothing gamble.

Remember when Ron Baker went on the Accounting High podcast & they praised Chappelle for finally taking shots at trans people? Congrats, guys! Punch down on trans people all day now!

#taxtwitter could kneecap this fascist admin right now just by downing tools. Think about why they're silent.

The boys club on the nazi #Taxtwitter should be ecstatic, they got everything they wanted. Trans people are terrified, poor people are going hungry, no one can afford insurance, Palestine is rubble, DEI is gone. They did it! And y'all called me names & told me to be nicer when I warned you πŸ˜„

##taxtwitter can reflect on how their internet community dogpiled on a black woman a few years ago, or how Josh told me students protesting for Palestine deserved to be brutalized, before patting themselves on the back as being some of the "good" liberals.

I honestly can't wait to see how the Dems will ignore and fuck up this very clear sign from the electorate. They'll find a way to tell leftists to shut up & sit the fuck down.

Carney pulled a lot of strategic votes positioning himself as the elbows-up candidate for Canada's sovereignty & economic interests, yet here he is bootlicking away . . .

And, just to satisfy my own curiosity, how exactly do you think the average German was perceived by the rest of Europe circa 1937, 1938?

Please quote where I said anything about Japanese or German people. If you're capable of moving past defensive straw man arguments & engaging your critical thinking skills about how Americans are perceived by the rest of the world right now perhaps a productive conversation is possible πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Over 6 million Californians voted for Trump. Spare us with the "we needed this more!" Deal with your shitty neighbours, coworkers, and relatives that are all in on fascism and leave Canada out of it. Fuckin' Americans πŸ™„

Nope. ICE are Americans. They are representatives of your nation. Americans don't get to disown the actions of their own nation now.

I don't think Americans are actually capable of viewing the rest of the world in any way except through the lens of American Exceptionalism.
