BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.
Despite a growing number of Indigenous and other community leaders calling for the removal of Aaron Gunn as a candidate in North Island-Powell River, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he'll stay on.

They should consider the implications of Tsilhqot’in v. Rex 2014 - no more Terra nullius, no more colonial title. They show Incredibly poor epistemological positioning. Ugh.

NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives
An audio recording obtained by PressProgress shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives
Classic anti-democratic move: ridicule, censor, stop journalists. Especially women : fascism demands rigid gender roles & submission to authority. I ❤️ Rachel Gilmore. CTV, you should be ashamed.

30.03.2025 18:11 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.
One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

“It is important for those who do not understand biology — specifically differences in sexual development — to recognize that a lack of comprehension does not mean that people who are gender diverse do not exist or are not natural.”

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

To Poilievre's friends.
Lay off Carney's kid. Stop being a bunch of bullies and jerks.
It's not okay.
