Fair, but fyi, living in England you also are accountable for the treaties made by your government. But I get that it’s complicated. My grandparents are Catholic & we only sold the family farm in 1997. They would roll over in their grave hearing me say anything except abolish the King.

It’s no tyrants. Also β€œno kings” is complicated bc actually going to no kings would REALLY jeopardize Indigenous rights. So I’m ok keeping the King until they want to get rid of him

In Canada I feel comfy using β€œno tyrants” because the context here around Indigenous sovereignty. Often β€œno kings” is code for β€œlet’s ignore the treaties”. Most of the country is owned by Indig, government by treaties with UK King, Canada is just manager. So β€œno kings” often is anti-FN

This is coercion and eugenics at its ugliest.

They're intentionally mistreating a disabled man to encourage him to let them end his life.

Please read his story and consider the pleas of other disabled Canadians who've said that MAiD is being abused.

L.A. law enforcement's treatment of journalists during protests is once again under scrutiny Journalists have been shot with less-lethal police rounds, tear-gassed, shoved and detained while chronicling the ongoing civil unrest and military intervention in Los Angeles.

It’s wild to me that there are still people out there saying β€œthey won’t/can’t do that because it’s against the law.”

She was so irritating but also was making me think of the ex-republican gal who mean girl mocks them on social - that make up was ROUGH. I wish he had pushed back on her assertion that they arrested pdf,murderers etc though. Great opportunity to point out that they are arresting anyone & assuming

So attack SEIU head & then go after hotel housekeepers? They really don’t know what they are doing, janitors & hotel workers are some of the most militant people in organized labour.

a logo for the united states marine corps with the words semper fi Alt: a logo for the united states marine corps with the words semper fi

My father, uncle, and father-in-law were US Marines who fought fascist overreach in the South Pacific in World War 2. I know if they were alive today, they would object to sending Marines to enable fascist overreach in Los Angeles by Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Homan today.

Semper Fi.

What is happening in Los Angeles is not a distraction from Trump’s Billionaire Bailout Bill.

The bill explicitly gives ICE and DHS the resources needed to do around the country what they’re doing in LA. We should call that out.

Immigration One in five workers in America wasn’t born here. Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

The agenda of mass deportations is deeply anti-worker. One in five workers in America is an immigrant. They’re vital to the fabric of our communities.

The real threat workers face is corporate greed, not immigrants.

chinga la migra

May the spirit of rebellion grow & multiply!!

I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are ever responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist time, they don't need "excuses."

Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity, & keep tactical differences internal

Pierre Poilievre is eligible for a $169,000 severance payment from taxpayers for losing Carleton

He'll get paid by taxpayers for losing his seat, then start collecting his $309,000 salary again as soon as he takes that Alberta riding

He's not just fine he's on paid vacation while you slave to pay.

It’s clear: the strategic vote in New Westminster–Burnaby–Maillardville is NDP β€” to stop Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and defend what matters most to us. πŸ§‘πŸ—³οΈ

Chantal Hebert nails it, True North & Rebel are third party advertisers in this election campaign. They are NOT accredited media. She also points out the time change and dropping the Greens at last minute. #cdnpoli

Let me know if I have this right, right wing advocates took up much of the time last night and prevented much of the post-debate questioning from mainstream reporters. Tonight they disrupted the post-debate question time, so no mainstream reporters could ask questions.

More importantly. The source of the massive explosion of Opioid addiction in the last decade is an πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ company getting away with terribly unethical practices due to poor regulation & corporate culture in their country. So frankly if we are pointing fingers it’s on them
