If we donโ€™t see the progress of AI as a reason to start implementing UBI immediately, we are in for a world of hurt.

Flat taxes are regressive! 15% tax hits a poor person MUCH harder than it does a rich person.

I think the point is that people need to start thinking who the best candidate is NOW, long BEFORE the primaries, not just go with the flow or allow the establishment to pre-select winners. That best candidate might even be someone who is not thinking of running and who needs to be persuaded.

Does anyone know of someone tracking the mentions of Canadians or Canadian companies in the Epstein files? #CanPoli #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

These are the people who fear-mongered on imaginary armed IRS agents, telling people not to be worried about the very real armed ICE agents!

Yes. If there are no consequences, it should not be as a result of our silence or disinterest.

Visceral memories of Apartheid era police telling us โ€˜You have x-minutes to disperse!โ€™. The time given inversely correlated to the size of the crowd.

They really should have gone with The Glen Miller Orchestra. If they really needed to go woke, they could have added Louis Armstrong to the line-up. Maybe some Kenny. Rogers, not G.

We know he didnโ€™t โ€˜make a mistake.โ€™ It was intentional. And any apology from him is meaningless, because he feels no shame and no regret, he will gleefully do it again.

With so many of the Epstein files now released, who in Canada is scrutinizing it to see which Canadians were involved in any of the crimes or cover-ups? Because given our proximity, I struggle to imagine it is nobody. #CdnPoli #EpsteinFiles

Actually, I believe there is a transgender woman mentioned in the files. She was an underaged victim of Epstein. She was 16 at the time, and she filed a complaint in 2007. She was vilified and ridiculed in the media.

And act as if Republicans got their voting restrictions bill passed! Start NOW to help people get birth certificates, passports, government issued photo ID, etc, and keep an eye on voters rolls for purges.

Which means nominating candidates that are fighters for people and fighters for change, not corporatist bootlickers who are just there to preserve โ€˜orderโ€™ and the same-old-same-old and striving to be โ€˜bi-partisanโ€™ with fascists.

Even if he does not get them to change their minds, he might get some to think just hard enough to become disillusioned enough to sit out the next election. Also, most people do have a tipping point, and who knows, he might just hit that point for a few.

And then heโ€™ll just turn around and vote for ICE funding tomorrow, despite the fact that his wife is an immigrant, who at one time was an โ€˜illegalโ€™ immigrant! Does he think they will never turn on her?
