They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Just sayin', as someone who grew up Catholic: if you can call the new pope by his chosen name instead of the name he was assigned at birth, you can do the same for the trans folks in your life. It's a sign of respect in both cases.

Amnesty International Canada responds to Pierre Poilievre’s ‘troubling’ notwithstanding clause proposal Amnesty International Canada urged Pierre Poilievre to walk back his proposal to invoke the notwithstanding clause in the next Parliament.

"The notwithstanding clause must not be used to entrench human rights violations. If we’re not vigilant, there’s no guarantee that the notwithstanding clause won’t be invoked to undermine women’s rights to choose, for example." #cdnpoli #pierrepoilievre #markcarney

Recall ‘woke’ = eyes open = aware. Awareness of racism, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, ...

Being AWARE isn’t a bad thing! In fact, you can 🙈

Railing against “woke ideology” is like fighting “the gay agenda”. There is none.

Honestly, we’re just out here trying to survive.
