A leader of a Canadian political party had to have security with his wife while she gave birth because of the threat to their lives from India.

Carney is showing that murdering a Canadian and threatening Canadian political leaders' lives is no big deal for the right price.

i don't think it's good for news organizations to partner with organizations they should be investigating as avenues of public corruption

Temco drivers unionize despite stiff opposition β€” a first for a Home Depot subsidiary β€œWe did have management telling us that we were going to lose our jobs and would shut down.”

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized.

Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters.

They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco.

People loved it when Carney called Trump β€œtransformational,” a word with multiple meanings that led the U.S. president to hear only what he wanted to hear.

But is that what Carney did to all of us with his Davos speech, too?

In light of his support of the Iran bombings, I’d argue yes:

And even when people are more mildly disabled, they often don’t want to disclose that they have a stigmatized illness. Don’t expect people to just tell you these things.

There was that Epstein text exchange with Bannon where he said "Trump doesn't respect anyone who agrees to his demands" and never has that been more apparent than every newspaper/university/law firm getting their shit double-owned by the guy they bent over for in the first place.

It's worth looking at MagaMyMan's active positions, because these show the US pentagon insider is not expecting the dissident opposition leader in Iran to lead Iran, is not expecting for the regime to fall before 2027 and a bunch of lower stakes bets that could just be propaganda.

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

Back in the Iraq war, a running joke was the confusion that pro-war advocates could not distinguish between Shia and Sunnis, which seems like a degree of unbelievable sophistication now.

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

Early pregnancy care declines despite Trump’s pro-birth agenda - Salon.com As the Trump admin urges folks to have more kids, new data shows early pregnancy care moving in the wrong direction

More than 5.6 million American women live in counties with no or limited access to maternity care. The rise in maternity deserts is most likely a factor in the decline of early prenatal care. Restrictive abortion bans don't help either.

I am not going to tell you to "have hope". I am going to tell you that the people who benefit from this want us to feel too small and too exhausted to do anything. Every dollar to MSF or body at a protest is action against that design.

This is an ongoing struggle. They do not get to win by default.
