At the invitation of Mi’kmaw land defenders and water protectors, we’ve planned a rally stand up together, shoulder to shoulder, to say a mighty Nova Scotia NO to Houston’s extraction agenda.

Haligonians, you should watch Siege.
bonus: 1983's "Siege" aka "Self-Defense," about a group of polite Canadian kids forced to use Home Alone tactics to defend their apartment from a gang of armband-wearing hate crime enthusiasts during a Nova Scotia police strike. Low budget proto-Green Room that plays like ACAB Assault on Precinct 13

FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.”
Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College.
Voters *like* politicians who make the right enemies.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself.

Halifax Water better be looking into this
RFK says fluoride is toxic, but in 2011 Calgary took fluoride out of drinking water, and the number of children receiving IV antibiotics for dental infections at Alberta Children’s Hospital increased by 700% from 2011 to 2018. Calgary is now bringing back fluoride.

This city took fluoride out of the water. Now it’s putting it back in
Calgary, which has endured ten years of worsening dental health and is reversing its decision, is a cautionary tale for Robert F Kennedy Jr
