Doing actual nothing is a surprisingly powerful weapon. Do no work, pay no taxes or bills, the regime will fall. Deny the regime a target and resources at the same time. Channel your time & $$$ to community supports.

As someone that never believed, the tailing point below was something I had to learn. People didn't believe I don't. You're just lapsed or arguing with a deity.
Now many see atheism as an -ism or a belief but it is an a-. The a- is for not. Humanism is an -ism but, atheism is a just nope to theism.

I have never been influenced by another atheist to become one. To be honest, and I'm being truthful, until I became an atheist I really didn't think they really existed. Before I stopped believing it didn't make any sense to me that anyone else didn't believe. I just assumed like far too many other

In the US a dude kneeling during the anthem at a football game to protest police brutality got more outrage and consequences than a political party embracing full on white supremacy and Gestapo tactics.

There is a reason most "taxpayer" groups only use data from 1974 and forward. They don't want you to know that 50% to 96% top tax rates were normal for decades and the main engine of progress. Don't complain about the taxes, complain about wages being too low, union busting or lack of basic income.

Every community in the US should establish a Committee for Public Safety for civilian administration and begin a #GeneralStrike.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

And meanwhile the sound of crickets from western leaders over Israel's crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Pretending that there isn't a genocide makes you complicit in the genocide.

The biggest issues for 🇨🇦 are wealth inequality and climate change.
Yet, O&G, mining companies and billionaires get everything they want from our federal and provincial governments while millions of Canadians remain trapped in legislated poverty.

Watching the Democratic Party establishment back the most corrupt horse in the NY Mayor primary instead of supporting any of the capable progressives shows why Americans holding out for midterms or 2028 are fooling themselves. Americans need a general strike to change course not a corporate duopoly.

It is all about distracting us from the death camp that is Gaza.
Israel is committing mass crimes against humanity. The world has gone along for the ride and now we are seeing the dangerous results of unchecked criminality.

Shouldn't Türkiye, Germany, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands stop hosting nukes for others?

If Conservatives had tabled the exact same Bill C-2, Bill C-4 and Bill C-5 would the concerns of indigenous leaders, environmentalists, policy analysts, privacy experts, opposition and backbench MPs been heeded? Are Canadians truly comfortable with every future government having more police powers?

Basic Income has been recommended as policy since 1971 in Canada but governments are focused O&G/Mining company profits.

Fundamentalists will do anything to preserve their bubble against reality. That is why groups too extreme for the religious wars of 16th & 17th century Europe crossed an ocean to make an "evangelical" fiefdom in what is now the US. Understanding history helps understand the present.

Economic turmoil is not justification to trample on Treaty rights and obligations in Canada (or anywhere). Tell our MLA/MNA/MPP/MP/Senators that we are all Treaty Peoples. Many seem to need a reminder. Reconciliation means no returning to colonialism by government or economy. #G7 #cdnpoli
