There are people who believe that women are put on this earth to suffer. So when you say things like "hey maybe we should make childbirth conditions more favorable" or "what if women didn't do most of the work in a marriage," they just will not understand.

Because the point of women is to suffer.

This important sentence was at the very end of the news article, most people will not read that far. It says...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Military/paramilitary forces grabbing people without process, regardless of their citizenship status because of their perceived ethnicity is perhaps better referred to as "ethnic cleansing."

In 2009 the provincial government took over full control of education funding away from school boards & municipalities. What is in the fine print says you are charged in taxes for education doesn’t all go to education. All funding goes to general revenue then dispersed. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The provincial government is assuming direct control over how much property owners pay on the education portion of their tax bills, as a consequence of Saskatchewan's revamping the school tax system.

There's no excuse for 99.9% of us to not be vaccinated with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. The death rates is 1-2 per 1000 unvaccinated people in countries with hospital medical care available. Without hospitals, 30-60 per 1000 will die. Mostly children.

Musk is enabling election interference against political parties he dislikes. He will keep doing it until governments stop him.
“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Harper Collins did not sign.

So weird how being owned by Rupert Murdoch means they can't even advocate for their own survival. Libraries are a HUGE part of all publishers' bottom lines.

If you can't speak out bc it's right, speak out bc otherwise this destroys your bottom line ffs
