I feel like I should apologize to all the people I have yet to follow back. Every time I open this app there's like 20 new follows and I just don't have the energy to check them all so if I didn't recognize the name/icon from Twitter... Let me know if I know you but haven't followed back, please?

Danielle Smith just suckered Mark Carney into reviving the Northern Gateway pipeline.
This is the antithesis of "nation-building."
There is no economic, political or environmental case for Stephen Harper's dream.
This won't end well.

Anyone familiar with Ohuhu alcohol markers? I know all brands will have a smell b/c they're alcohol based but what I'm trying to gauge here is the strength of the smell? I tend to be on the sensitive side when it comes to scent so I thought before I end up with something I can't use I'd better check

Most disabled people who can't work and rely on government support just want enough money so we can pay our bills and rent, get groceries, do laundry, get a haircut, buy our medications and devices and look after our support animals properly with some left over to get clothes or replace things.

My former NDP MP colleague Don Davies brought the voices of the National Disability Network and 900k+ disabled Canadians to Parliament. Bill C-4 lowers taxes—but also reduces disability tax credits. The NDP is calling on all parties to fix this before it becomes law. #FIXIT

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges.

Good luck! 🫡

The entire RFK Jr quote is terrible, but look what he led with.

“These are kids who will never pay taxes. Never hold a job”.

That’s where his priorities lie. Ensuring people can be good capitalist soldiers. If you can’t work, you’re useless.

We are more than our economic contributions. Much more
The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Someone should tell RFK Jr that Emily Dickinson is suspected to have been autistic & one of the most prolific poets of all time.

His mischaracterization of autistic people shows him to be hateful, ignorant & uninformed.

More than that, we ALL have value. Evaluating “worth” shouldn’t be a spectrum
