Quebecker tells it like it is. In English. Because that's the only language his intended audience can understand.

Apparently it’s wildly socialist to think this, but I believe all kids should get fed at school. All ages, all deciles. No means testing. Just food.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire."

To understand why the USA ended up here, you first have to understand white, conservative Xianity's development over the 20th century. For an excellent explanation, I highly recommend these 3 books:

I Was Kamala Harris’ Videographer. I Wish I Could Show You What I’ve Seen. She completely changed me.

"Vice President Harris never called a little girl cute or commented on her outfit; instead, she'd say, 'You look like the smartest person in your class.' The vice president would say, 'Let me hear you say, 'I am a leader,'' and even the youngest girls would say it back." slate.com/news-and-pol...

They choose this. They choose this. They choose this. Melania. Usha. Ivanka. They are adults and they choose all this. They can leave at any moment, and every day they are still choosing this. They are not victims, they are henchwomen.
