Everybody, listen to Brad!

We’re not broke, we’re being robbed.
A tweet from user @BraddrofliT that says: “The California man who won the record $2.04 billion lottery took home $628 million after taxes; now let's tax billionaires like that.” The background is black, and the user’s profile photo shows a man against a blue backdrop.

“Stop being political” usually translates to “stop noticing injustice.” or "don't make me uncomfortable."
A meme by “50 Nerds of Grey” with a scenic forest and river background framed in red. Over it is a white box with black text that reads: “When someone says ‘stop being political,’ what they mean is: the system works fine for me and I don't want to think about who it hurts.”

Currently oscillating between “high-functioning adult” and “Emotionally exhausted blanket creature😴.” No in-between.
A meme with two side-by-side photos of a Shiba Inu dog. The first photo shows the dog wearing glasses and using a laptop, looking focused and serious. The second photo shows the same dog lying in bed wrapped in a blanket, staring blankly into space. The caption reads, “My entire day to day life summed up in two pictures.”

A fluffy black squirrel sits outside on a snowy windowsill, looking in as snow falls heavily. The view shows a grey winter street and frosted trees. Inside, a crystal lamp and a few small potted plants sit on the windowsill. Text over the image reads: “If you’re cold they’re cold. Bring them inside.”

If the rich keep getting richer while everyone else drowns in debt, despair, and overwork, something is horribly wrong.

A healthy society lifts its people, not bleeds them dry.

Black background with a sepia-toned portrait of Karl Marx seated, facing forward. Below the image, white serif text reads: “There must be something rotten in the very core of a social system which increases its wealth without diminishing its misery.” —Karl Marx.

Every major policy that makes life in Canada great: healthcare, pensions, paid time off - the Cons fought against it.

They’ve never been on the side of progress, only the side of power. And if given the chance, they’d take it all back. Women’s rights, workers’ rights, healthcare, all of it.
Screenshot of a text post titled “Conservatives have always been assholes.” The text argues that during Lester B. Pearson’s minority governments, key Canadian programs like universal health care, the Canada Pension Plan, Canada Student Loans, the Maple Leaf flag, the 40-hour work week, vacation time, and minimum wage were all created despite Conservative opposition. It ends by warning Canadians to be more concerned about electing too many Conservatives into government.

Propaganda is strong on this continent.

Capitalist cronies have convinced workers to defend billionaires, the poor to blame themselves, and the struggling to fear the systems that could save them.

Wake up!
#marxistmonday
Meme showing a cartoon hand pressing a large red button labeled “cringe.” The caption above reads, “When a working class person defends capitalism.” The image humorously implies that such a defense is embarrassing or misguided.

Happy Caesar Sunday to those who celebrate 🙂

May your spice level match your attitude 🌶️💁🏻‍♀️
It's me, shoulder-length brown hair, sitting, smiling, at a restaurant table, holding up a Caesar cocktail garnished with pickles and a lime wedge. The cozy restaurant has dim lighting and large windows showing reflections of city lights outside.

Attacking a colleague who crosses the floor, calling them a liar, and insulting an entire political party -the governing one- isn’t strategy, it’s spite.

This kind of rhetoric doesn’t build a stronger, more united Canada. It doesn’t serve constituents, it deepens division and weakens trust.

Shame.
Screenshot of a CBC News article excerpt about MP Chris d’Entremont. It states that the Conservative Party denies his allegations and includes a bolded subheading, “Conservatives deny violence.” The party’s spokesperson accuses d’Entremont of lying and claims he deceived voters and colleagues because he was upset about not getting the deputy speaker role, adding that “he will fit in perfectly in the Liberal caucus.” The excerpt ends with a note that d’Entremont told CBC’s Rosemary Barton Live that he’s moved on from not getting the Speaker.

When racists talk about “losing their country,” they don’t mean violence, they mean progress.

They mean families that are multicultural, multilingual, multifaith, and thriving.

They fear the future because it looks nothing like their past, and that’s a good thing.
Four people stand together on stage before a cheering audience, smiling proudly behind a podium with a yellow-and-blue city skyline logo. Behind them are several flags. The group appears joyful and confident, illuminated by camera flashes. Text over the image reads: This image is an epitome of a progressive, insanely accomplished and brilliant family. Zohran’s dad is a Muslim Indian-Ugandan who married a Hindu-American and their son married a Syrian-American whom he met on Hinge dating app in 2021. Zohran is the Mayor of New York, his dad teaches at Columbia University, his mum is a filmmaker, his wife is an illustrator born to a doctor and computer engineer. This is what pains white racists. threads.com/@ugandan_accent

Real purpose isn’t handed down from above; it’s built from within. It’s found in compassion, curiosity, creation, in the quiet work of being human without needing a master to tell you how.
Image of speaker Dan Barker gesturing on stage. Above him, bright blue text reads: “Asking ‘If there is no God, what is the purpose of life?’ is like asking ‘If there is no master, whose slave will I be?’” — Dan Barker.

Ants of the world unite... 🐜

The powerful fear the day workers realize they outnumber them.

Solidarity isn’t just an idea, it’s the one thing they can’t control.
✊🏻 #socialistsunday
Close-up of Hopper, the villainous grasshopper from A Bug’s Life (1998), glaring menacingly. A quote from the movie is displayed below: “You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those ‘puny little ants’ outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life!” In the top corner, there’s a red circular logo that reads “Organize the South, Y’all” around an image of an ant.

We’re forced to sell our lives to survive, working just to afford rent, food, or an endless mortgage.

There’s nothing free about the “free market.” The system is working as intended.
A quote from the Hampton Institute over a forest background reads: “The working class has no choice but to sell ourselves to capitalists for wages. This is not a ‘consensual transaction.’ It is coercion, set up through centuries of violence that privatized all land, commodified basic human needs & transformed us into cattle for a ‘labor market.’”

comrades who observe 🙂
A retro comic-style image of a blonde woman shouting with passion. A speech bubble says: “Don’t internalize your hatred of capitalism, hate it openly, clearly, and vocally.”

If billionaires stopped hoarding wealth every time we mentioned taxes, we’d finally have the trickle-down they promised. 💁🏻‍♀️ 💸
A tweet by Mohamad S. (@mhdksafa) reads: “'Billionaires won’t create jobs if we tax them,' is a myth made up by billionaires so we won’t tax them.”

Late stage capitalism is just one loooong boot-licking contest.
A parody of the classic “Mr. Owl” Tootsie Pop cartoon. The child holds up a shiny black boot and asks, “Mr. Owl… how many licks until I’m a billionaire?” The owl smiles knowingly from a branch above.

It’s you. Hi. You’re the problem, it’s you.

How do we swipe left on this thing?
Political cartoon by Nease. A woman holding a briefcase labeled “MPs” stands outside a house, telling a man in a Conservative Party shirt, “It’s not you, it’s—no, actually, it is you.” Behind her, a man in a red car labeled “Liberal” waits for her to get in.

Every president had a dog.
One of them just picked a lapdog with a podium. 🐾 🐶
A meme titled “U.S. Presidents and Their Pet Dogs.” The top three images show Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama each with their actual dogs. The bottom-right image humorously replaces the expected dog photo for Donald Trump with him leaning in to whisper in Mike Johnson's ear, implying the man is “his pet dog.”

We don't deserve this planet 😭
Quote over an image of Earth from space. The text reads: “The Lakota shaman Black Elk once said, ‘We don’t have to heal the Earth, she can heal herself. All we have to do is stop making her sick.’ To this simple truth I would add that the Earth can heal us too. — Eliot Cowan.”

You never truly grasp how deep love runs until it’s torn from your everyday life, until its absence echoes louder than its presence once did.

Separation doesn’t kill love. It reveals it.
A sepia-toned portrait of a man in a suit and bow tie with neatly combed hair and a mustache. Beside him, white text on a black background reads: “And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.” — Khalil Gibran.

This level of wealth is grotesque, and no one deserves it LESS than elon.
A social media post by user @pat_dimitri on a white background with a bold orange border. The text reads: “A billion is obscene. A trillion is profoundly and exponentially obscene. If you made a million dollars a day from year 0 to now, you would be about 700 years away from a trillion.”
