Trump’s attack on DEI isn’t Pride Toronto’s only major problem | Xtra Magazine ANALYSIS: One of Canada’s largest Prides has scrambled to cover sponsor losses, and some wonder if that was inevitable

As sponsors walk, there is an opportunity for Pride Toronto to reconfigure itself on its own terms.

Leaving that the article only cited 3 Black women who all offer their audience items missing in the market (i.e., not salad dressing) the idea that if one is successful in one area they cannot ever do anything else is ridiculous.

Better to critique tax shelters & no philanthropy in the wealthy.

Not stolen, the bank didn’t do their due diligence & lost potential profit: excited by the prospect of acquiring access to a young & semi-permanently indebted clientele they weren’t careful to confirm the boasts & true size of the “package” of the person with whom they were about to climb into bed.

Ironic. This is so emblematic of all that is wrong with capitalism and its culture of corporate primacy. That it is tied to student loans and “defrauding” banks is about as iconic of the current political climate as one can get.

He doesn’t care about approval ratings now, he’s already won the election.

He was impeached *twice* last time and still maintained power. Was convicted of a felony and still won reelection.

He doesn’t need approval anymore, the damage is done.

Which is exactly why they are trying to deny access to those who are “other”.

Also, when people lack critical thinking skills they are easier to manipulate.

If you don’t use your platform to speak truth to power in a venue that’s just been taken over, what’s the point? If you just walk away from the table because you are unhappy that they are trying to erase your voice, you’ve just agreed to let that happen.

I’m honestly wondering why anyone did not expect this and make copies for themselves before he took office?

Some confusion today about the voters list & registration for the upcoming Ontario election on Feb 27.

You MAY need to confirm your information online at Elections Ontario in order to receive a voter’s card.

The card is NOT required to vote but does provide information on your polling place.

Can we make recommendations here? I am in Canada and there are some important sources not yet included in that feed upon which I rely.

We can’t post or read news on that other platform, what you’ve started here is essential.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hypernormalization of absolutely unacceptable behaviour is public gaslighting and fascist grooming.

We must resist.

Hey Dawn. There’s going to be a learning curve here. I hope they add a feature similar to “groups” because just following each other isn’t enough for me.

I’m already finding the length restrictions difficult.

Perfect. Thank you.

We’re in this together.

I really want to post your reel on hypernormalization here, but it won't let me unless I link my IG account (I think ... when I try posting the link the thumbnail says "login"), which I just don't want to do. Can you please post it here so we can circulate it. It is a clear and brilliant analysis.

This is resistance. And continuing discrimination kept their story hidden because they were queer.
