We have to stop just blaming trump. It’s the entire Republican Party! They don’t give a damn about everyday Americans. Like Trump they only care about power & money. Don’t believe me take a good look at their “big, ugly bill”.

Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"
No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.

Alberta thinks that if it secedes to become a "51st state," they would be another Montana or Wyoming.
No, they would be another Puerto Rico. Or Guam. Nothing more than a U.S. territory which would be exploited while having no rights as a state.
Do Albertans not understand that?

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

It’s funny how wearing masks during a pandemic contagion was too much, but wearing them to beat up brown people is just fine.
I thought they interfered with heavy breathing.

What an absolute horror, this data collected by Canadians while textbooks spoke of similar atrocities by the 'evil' Nazis towards their prizoners in Germany. Gross.

A committee can't build a pipeline, especially when there's no route, no proponent, and no real funding. There’s also no commitment from the federal government to repeal the legislation that would make this pipeline possible.
In Danielle Smith's own words, this is an 'utter failure.'
