Crazy idea
What if we just decided to help everybody
And not be worried about “freeloaders”
Like we just agreed that our North Star would be that everyone thrived
Man that would be awesome

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Today the world saw the most blatant market manipulation and insider trading grift ever, at a scale hard to grasp, and most Americans either say it’s fine or hope to cash in on the next grift.
All of this is illegal
All of this is pathetic
All of this taints all of us.

Some people are asking why Poilievre and the Conservatives are so much less popular among women. This is one reason: actual messages sent to female Canadian MPs.

Mark Carney: “We’re a sovereign country. I take note of his comments. I don’t take direction.”

Republicans are also looking at Canada with surprise, but for a different reason. They now realize that we don't envy Americans. Being neighbours is ok, but we don't want to be like them. We are a distinct society and proud of it. Our border isn't an artificial line; it's a force field.✌️♥️🍁

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This would explain a lot.
A great deal of trouble we face now is that those in power assume everyone working for the public good has to be part of a grift because *they literally cannot conceive of a public good*. They are broken, deranged people, almost to a one. I'm struggling with the response to this.
