Age verification is a scam and control ... It is NEVER about protecting children, grow up #Governments!

And no, it is not a VPN issue. It happens with it turned on (and set to Canada) and also if I turn it off entirely.

@support.bsky.team WTF? I'm in Canada! We don't (yet) have age verification laws for social media here. My roommate isn't getting this. So why can I not reach my DMs?

How Canada and Denmark "Fought" the Whiskey War It has been so inspiring to see Canada standing with the people of Greenland and Denmark.

Pleading with people to understand the scope of this.

It won’t just be for immigrants.

They will use these camps to detain anyone they deem as an “other”.

The disabled. The homeless. Trans people. Political dissidents.

Your tax dollars will be spent incarcerating people without due process.

Studio color portrait of Lois Maxwell against a light blue background. She is shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the right, with softly waved brown hair styled just above the shoulders. She wears a coral-pink jacket with white trim, a pearl necklace, and subtle makeup. Her expression is calm and composed, with even lighting and a smooth, uncluttered backdrop.

Through 14 James Bond movies, she was known to the world as Miss Moneypenny.
A Golden Globe winner, she also wrote a weekly column for the Toronto Sun.
Her life was full and her legacy remains.
This is the story of Canadian Lois Maxwell.

Fun fact, Persona is funded by Peter Thiel, owner of Palantir, and militarist techno-libertarian authoritarian

Persona also relies primarily on funding flows from Peter Thiel

Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, was also at the night-time economy conference in Liverpool today. He is from Manchester and he told the Guardian that Jim Ratcliffe did not understand the football club he co-owns. Polanski said: 14 In Manchester United's last match against West Ham, three-quarters of the players selected were born outside the UK. That's not 'colonisation' - it's modern football, and it's Manchester. The real issue isn't migrants who come here, work hard, pay their taxes and contribute to our communities. It's tax-dodging billionaires like Jim Ratcliffe who migrate to Monaco to avoid paying millions to Britain to help fund our public services while lecturing everyone else about patriotism. The fact Nigel Farage and Matt Goodwin welcome his divisive, racist remarks show which side they support - and it's not Manchester.

Thankfully someone is calling out this bullshit immigration trope that’s repeatedly trotted out to make people think immigrants are a threat.

Don’t be fooled. Immigration isn’t the problem. Take a read, it’s clear what *is* a problem.

Scammers are quick.
