something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

This is likely what is happening in 🇨🇦 as well, and it's disgusting. 🤬They buy them up, charge exorbitant rents, plus it skyrockets home prices, so most can't afford even the most basic of homes. Why is this not regulated somehow?!

Watching Cons prematurely and gleefully proclaim failure for Carney and Canada after only 3 months of him being PM in an unfinished battle says all that is needed about Cons; party and self over country. We’re being attacked by the U.S. and they’re secretly cheering on the enemy.
