🚨THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL AND YOU SHOULD CARE🚨

"There are hundreds of people jailed in Quebec every year for minor infractions. Why? Access to a fair trial is quietly becoming luxury most cannot afford."

thread. canadian media is so embarrassing! poilievre is a dogwhistling far-right leader. some critical coverage pls.
This article is totally insipid.

Paul Wells spends half of it painting a picture of Poilievre being privately courteous and friendly.

But that's based on Wells' PERSONAL access -- as a white man with power.

I've heard stories about his private interactions that paint a very different picture.

one of my favourite book series:
I’m looking at various book blurbs and turned around my copy of The Raven Boys, completely forgetting my best friend taped this onto the back when she gifted it to me. Bc of her, I’ve never seen the blurb the book was originally printed with. I’m okay with that . @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social

Listening to this (especially after having watched The Unsleeping City) has been so enlightening. I highly recommend it, even if you've never been to New York let alone America

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 you're still using Google um... why?
Google removing Black History month from their calendars WHILE we’re in the midst of Black History Month is vile behavior.

They also removed Pride Month.

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.

Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

The United States, to hear some tell it, is currently experiencing a “plutocratic coup.”

Its democracy is in decline, reports have warned.

In light of that, I’d like to share a slightly personal story -- one that keeps me up at night:

i know we're all feeling overwhelmed & stressed about Trump so here's something that can help: find a local org focused on a cause you care about. Can you send them $5? Share their socials? Volunteer? Do whatever feels manageable! FYI my org of choice is @blackmamasmatter.bsky.social

especially listen to the language being used. calling lgbtqia folks mentally ill, etc.
Essentially it’s fruit of the same tree. They’re still using ableism and applying it to trans people. Anyone who defies “normalcy” is considered disabled by their society whether they have a disability or not.
hi Imani! do you have an explanation for why trans people have become *the* scapegoat for this administration rather than e.g. disabled people? (since eugenics/fascism rise during a pandemic, I thought more backlash would be against disabled people/those who the RW think "make the nation weak")

One of my absolute favorite things is: Great Horned Owls 🦉 In the evenings I walk my dogs, and their hoot hoot hooots just … calm me.

Today one swooped in front of my car, landed on a branch, and looked straight at me.
