Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.
Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Cocaine and coca leaf should be completely legal in the same way as caffeine and coffee beans are.
If this was the case, snorting cocaine would be about as popular as snorting caffeine is today.
Prohibition itself causes and worsens all the problems it claims to be solving.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The first federal investigation into Border Patrol corruption and “excessive violence” was launched in 1930; by 1933, the government had fired every single working agent.
Fast forward to today, and the agency's sexualized workplace leads to harassment and assault, according to former agents.
