Well hey there new friends. Pleasure to make your acquaintance where the skies are blue. I'm an MSc in Epidemiolgy, working on a sinking ship in the middle of a burning sea. Looking forward to setting down some roots here and getting to know y'all better so we can prop one another up.

This violent misogyny is why they've gone with the 'wine mom' narrative AND why it drives them so crazy. Why they've constructed elaborate conspiracies to explain getting shit done and caring for each other.
Healthy people spend more energy on the folks we love than we do on the things we hate.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

I think there’s a difference worth pointing out between a person you know changing their mind (welcome) & a pundit feeling the wind shift on their spit-slicked finger as they declare it’s now correct to call something fascist (fuck off into the sun).

This looks like scenes from some post apocalyptic movie set - but it’s very real. These are ‘heating points’ set up in Kyiv for neighbourhood right next to mine so people could warm up there, charge devices and even stay for the night - no heating there since January 24

Ukraine has seen genocide before, they know it when they see it. This is horrific.
A genocide against Ukrainians is unfolding right now.
It already has a name: "Kholodomor" (exhaustion through cold)
This crime is being deliberately committed by Russia.
In legal terms, it has a clear definition - genocide

As a foreigner, the US has always looked a pseudo white Christian dictatorship. All that's change is the pseudo has been dropped. Even after the Trump is gone the systemic issues are going to remain. That is not to say the dictator should remain in power, just more work will need to be done

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Smith is trying to rhetorically appeal to both separatists and federalists. But her actions have been much more supportive of the separatist cause. When there is the referendum she will have to pick a side and "Sovereign Alberta in a United Canada" won't do it.

when I see people saying "well the police are trained better," I think about how Tamir Rice was gunned down and was denied first aid at the neighborhood rec center where we both took art classes.
just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence
