Just because it’s local, doesn’t mean it should be supported.

Regular reminder that "Sheepdog Brew" is owned by an active WPS officer and its name is very likely referencing the Thin Blue Line-style copaganda of "sheepdogs who protect the flock, attack the wolves, and apparently always know the differences between the three groups"

The only way we’re going to get through the next four plus years and fight for a better future is together. By creating community and standing strong against those who wish to isolate us from each other.

Stay safe.

With love. 🖤

Blessed Imbolc.

I took the day to just exist. To be intentional and well rested for the season ahead.

Gillingham and his posse of losers hate poor/Indigenous people and want them to suffer and die.

Cutting Community Connections to save $650k while increasing police funding by more than $15 million is racist, anti-poor, settler-colonial violence against the most marginalized Winnipeggers.

Monsters.

Gillingham rejecting motion 2 to refund community connections, lies that he cares about downtown residents and that DCSP will get those residents the services they need, “if they need library services there is a whole library across the lobby”

New from @policyalternatives.bsky.social : With Trump threatening punishing tariffs on #Canada and #Mexico, the two countries should consider a coordinated response meant to hit Trump hard. By Nathaniel Denaro #cdnpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
Canada and Mexico should coordinate responses to Trump’s tariffs | CCPA
Canadians may be forgiven for focusing on their own problems as Donald Trump’s February 1 tariff deadline approaches. The U.S. president says he will impose 25 per cent tariffs on some or all Canadian...

This goes hard
Extremely long tweet by Colombian president Gutavo Petro, auto-translated from Spanish. Continued in next post. Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some worthy things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like bullshit to me, because they should unite. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are inside the US as well as inside my country. I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a shot of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can, with your economic strength and your arrogance, try to carry out a coup d'état as they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, 1 resisted torture and I resist you. I do not want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you cannot accompany me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you did not understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my town which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. You do not like our freedom, okay. I do not shake hands with white slavers. I shake the

Finally had time to read through the Government of Manitoba’s "Your Way Home" strategy. I’m left with a multitude of questions and a lot of concerns.
