The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd.
So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines?
It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny.

Imperative to vote AGAINST this man!
Poilievre just called CTV News’ Judy Trinh a “protester” because she dared try to ask him a question outside of the incredibly rigid four-questions-no-follow-up process his party has.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

There is no governing, only decrees, propaganda, demonizing of trans people, disappearing students off the streets and the relentless destruction of free & functioning society.

Careless People is a banger of a feel-bad beach read. Then it gets into the role of Facebook & elections... and all you can think of is how we need to regulate social media to protect democracy. And also how social media has tricked us into thinking we can't regulate it. We can!

MD here:
Be wary of Poilievre. He is not just going after PM Carney’s child as a one-off political attack. He’ll go after the health care rights of all 2SLGBTQ+ He’s a threat to our patients, families, colleagues.
As PM Carney said to Barton, look inside yourselves.
Keep bigotry out of Canada.🇨🇦

Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
