Activists don’t emerge from nowhere. They are produced by injustice. If a society treated people with basic fairness, there would be no need for most activism.

The fact that trans people must fight simply to exist without fear is not proof of excess power, it’s proof of ongoing failure.

Canadians should reflect on why they get so upset about selling Canada to Trump.

After all...

Canada's leaders have been selling stolen Indigenous land and resources to foreign companies for 157+ years.

This woman was targeted in a racist hit-and-run in Winnipeg last week. I hope they find that asshole who ran over her*repeatedly* before driving off, leaving her in peril.

Still think that racism doesn't exist in Canada?

Hundreds of demonstrators shut down Tesla showrooms in Manhattan and Brooklyn today as part of a series of demos against the car manufacturer following Elon Musk’s blatant Nazi salute and general destruction of the U.S. government.

6 arrested in Manhattan β€” 3 inside, 3 blocking the entrance.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Annexation is against international law - there is no both sides of the issue.

Are we now going to both sides the breaking of other laws? Like β€˜What do you think of beating women? Home invasion? Murder?’

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the β€œdeep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.Β 

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation."
