Just hang on until we in Canada can get his Canadian citizenship revoked. He's not going to GitMo until he and Trump have a falling out.

The two most damaging ideas in all of human thought might be those of a "lesser evil" and a "necessary evil." They're thought-terminating clichΓ©s that allow those who benefit from a broken system to avoid any possibility of the system being repaired or replaced.

So… Trump is like an unsupervised infant, mashing buttons clumsily the helm of a ship… meanwhile, Elon’s looting sensitive government data.

Welcome to America…

So much destruction as the rich play with the rest of us like we’re toys.

Vilifying homeless individuals amplifies injustice and the dehumanization of those who need compassion the most. Especially when those in power are perpetuating the criminalization of homelessness to feed the prison industrial complex. Morally reprehensible behavior.

"What radicalized you?"
I was told 'sharing is caring' as a child. If sharing crayons was expected in kindergarten, why not wealth, resources, and opportunities in society? Turns out I wasn’t radicalizedβ€”I just never stopped believing in fairness and basic human decency.

Capitalism leads to monopoly. It isn't failing. It's working exactly as designed, concentrating wealth and power at the top while leaving 99% to suffer. If it were truly effective, we wouldn't need 800 military bases worldwide to enforce it or suppress societies that adopt alternative systems.

I agree... maybe not 'most,' but certainly a majority, considering the American election results. WTF kind of damage has been done to my gender by millennia of patriarchy? Humanity is screwed without immediate and dramatic social change that seems to be getting reversed by conservatives everywhere.

He's right. And for all my French Canadian followers, a vote for Poilievre's Conservatives is a vote for Canadian-American union under Trump and the idea of Quebec becoming North Louisiana with an economic status to match.

Awake two hours early on my night off before working five in a row, so I decided to start at the beginnings of the feeds of people I know in person and help the algorithm out, and I found this in case it's useful to anyone else following me.

If you add a curse word to your google search, it makes their stupid ai theft bot shit off and you can actually get accurate information instead of some nonsense summary.

curious about this too. i honestly thought, forgive me american friends 😬, that americans are so entitled and privileged that the second trumpism started directly affecting straight white cis ppl there would be riots

CisGlaze isn't a donut topping
it's
when a cis person you know is told about the trans genocide

"That won't happen"
and i reply
"It already is"

ALL arguments against trans healthcare are based solely on religious bigotry. Period. Numerous studies determined transitioning is beneficial for kids too, puberty blockers are safe, etc. Cis allies, we NEED you to be LOUD about this. Healthcare is a basic right for EVERYONE.

Trump’s $50 Billion Tax Giveaway to the 100 Largest Corporations Trump’s plan to slash the corporate tax rate would give the largest corporations a tax cut exceeding federal K-12 education spending.

Amazon, Meta, and Google donated millions to Trump's inauguration. Why?

Collectively they'll gain an annual tax cut worth $7.4 billion if Trump lowers the corporate tax rate.

They're also facing major antitrust lawsuits for abusing their market power.

Always follow the money.

Dear World, (An Apology From Decent Americans) Dear World,

We want you to know that this is not who we are. It may be who this man is. It may be who those sharing power with him are. It may even be the tens of millions who voted for him.

But this is not the totality of this nation.
