watching justin trudeau’s retirement is going to be even worse than his prime ministership. you just know he’s going full cheugy-colonizer-core and we’ll have the lifestyle vlog to prove it.

I still really love Gritty, I love that when he was unveiled, Philadelphia was like, "What the fuck", the world replied, "Yeah, what the fuck" and then Philadelphia said, "Hey, don't you talk that way about our Gritty"

moments like this that i just sit back and shake my head bc “America” is a bastardized version of my peoples democracy with an injection of sexism, racism, and genocide at its core and some of yall REALLY think that can change

it needs to be pulled out from its root. sad it’s happening this way.

it’s wild reading the testimony of US fed govt workers watching their realities crumble. these are people who wouldn’t even consider quitting work under the 47th regime (let alone the prior ones)…these ppl literally prop up a fascist puppet regime & want us to feel bad they’re not feds anymore??

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

There are a whole lot of people and communities who have been living and organizing outside of the state for a very long time and it’s worth listening to them in this moment

why are canadian Leftists™ always trying to fix the @ndp.ca from the inside & not just overthrowing the (illegal & injurious) crown in solidarity with Indigenous people? 🧐

It’s not an Overton window. It’s an Overton patio door.

where do i sign??

In the last 30 years, the left nationalist position has been rightly denounced by black and indigenous people, by immigrants and other people marginalized in this society, who know that the 'Canada' the left nationalists want to save is pathologically genocidal.

not me falling even more in love with @maginmanolete.bsky.social while the world we knew crumbles. 7 years.
as @nikitagill.bsky.social notes, it takes a poet to remind us we can still fall in love and learn from the flowers.
