When Canada elected JD Vance’s old buddy to Parliament, you had to know he’d get up to some weird shit.

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani hasn’t disappointed.

Most recently, he sent an invitation to the other MPs on the Hill for his event to “end Liberal racism.”

I got my hands on the invite:

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

The definition they are using for woman is solely based on reproductive capacity. If you cannot be a breeding vessel for men, you are not considered a woman. That's it. That's the world they want. A fascist eugenics based world.

Americans who are planning on escaping the USA by coming to Canada to study - today's budget has slashed foreign student visas at 150,000 annually until 2028.

#Fossilfuel burning has made BC's Peace region "warmer and drier... But rather than heed the warnings, one B.C. government after another twisted itself into knots arguing that using more “clean” hydro to power more methane gas production amounted to a climate solution." #bcpoli #climatecrisis

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

vancouver planning in the 21st century is developers and the city patting themselves on the back for a sustainable mixed-used community that pays homage to the industrial past while using modern best practices where a two bedroom condo costs a million dollars and there are no schools

Important story by @jenstden.bsky.social

This interview and the audio clips has chilled me to the bone. Realizing how rapidly we have moved from the population of the USA being absolutely repulsed by the 2017 actions of the fascists in Charlottesville- to those forces now running the White House.
