Remember that the Nazis in office are trying to make everyone believe they are NOT Nazis, so if you see actual IDIOTS walking around with a Nazi flags, you should definitely kick their ass and throw dogshit at them. They think they are safe. Don’t let them think so. They are not.

Like, these Republicans are literally talking about shit that isn’t real. That’s their entire MO—because the money behind them doesn’t want to fix anything. Because it benefits from the brokenness.

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home after seeing the assassin shoot Mark Hortman in a doorway.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

This new legislation is terrifying—not just because of the environmental destruction these laws will accelerate, but because of the ways our sovereign rights get watered down to “economic reconciliation,” a mere assimilation into a failing economy built on our dispossession and genocide.

Wait, foxes aren't good chicken coop managers?

What the hell??

Carney promises First Nations leaders prosperity for 'generations to come' at summit on major projects — CBC News First Nations leaders from across the country are meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney and officials in Gatineau, Que., this week on Bill C-5.

Maybe news organizations should headline the Indigenous voices pointing out the lies of Mark Carney instead of platforming Carney himself and marginalizing Indigenous people.
