Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State
He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and unassimilable. How far will Miller’s sadistic designs go?

We are already deep into our societal transition. Collapse is here and now.
The question isn’t when collapse starts. It’s:
👉 How do we take action now, while we still can?
👉 How do we support each other in transforming how we live on earth & building resilience in the face of deepening crises?
👉 How do we ensure we don’t leave anyone—human or nonhuman—behind?

Local elections are less than a year away. Online toxicity is a barrier to candidates coming forward, particularly those under-represented - Indigenous people, women, people of colour, LGBTQ2+ folks. Courtenay's Mayor Wells has a motion coming, to adopt the 'Elect Respect' campaign.
