Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Meta's biggest source of Canadian advertising dollars this year is the Epoch Times. An organization Meta said it had banned from advertising. Great scoop by @rorywh.bsky.social
Meta banned the Epoch Times from advertising. Then it accepted $300k in new ads targeting Canadians
In the past 12 months, The Epoch Times has spent over $300,000 on Facebook and Instagram ads promoting political surveys to collect the emails of Canadians using a series of anonymous pages.

🚨 Under Doug Ford’s new Bill 5, critical boreal caribou habitat has been reduced — on paper — to just calving sites. The rest can now be cleared, mined or developed.

Developers just “click submit” and start building.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services.

Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector.

Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies.

What’s “efficient” about that?

Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:

Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023.

Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?
