Covid numbers are rising and we trying to get the word out. Here are the first two billboards so far this summer and I’ll be working to keep putting them out well into the fall.
If you want to help me continue the campaign any help is appreciated.

Apparently what it takes to shift public opinion is a fascist takeover
"79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country."
New Gallup survey shows that 30% of Americans want immigration decreased, down from 55% a year ago. A record-high of 79% of Americans call immigration a good thing, a reversal from 64 percent last year.

Alright because this is popping up more and more- the situation in Gaza (and I don’t say this lightly) is the worst it’s been. People are being constantly displaced, no aid has gotten in for weeks and I’ve known more people have relatives die this week than any other week since it started.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Poilievre's Indigenous policy looks a lot like a threat. This is him saying the feds will cut funding for ISC, replace it with tax room - and if we allow resource development in our territories, we can tax it to replace the money the feds took. I.E. let the pipeline through, or no drinking water.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

Trump blinking on the tariffs is good news. Now let's ensure we keep working to strengthen our hand for the inevitable next round.
Note how his claims shifted from fentanyl to the need for American banks in Canada. This is of a piece with the underlying goal: subordinate Canadian sovereignty. 1/n
