And if the Lib in this riding is really unlikely to be elected?

So many reasons. Many of the candidates are questionable, the leader is not open or honest, there’s no costed platform, the ties to the Trump regime are obvious.

Such a good summary from @shamelesselle (more in comments)

A very mushy walk at the river today

For years, folks have been stacking stones in our bay, but the colours are new

Beautiful day in the neighbourhood ❄️

It feels like a good time to remember this - from Timothy Snyder's book 'On Tyranny'. If groups stand together, supporting the ethics that guide them professionally and personally, it is harder for the state to commit atrocities.

I think this is the inside of my pocket. At any rate, I just love it.

Is it really January?

I've been reading Timothy Snyder's 'On Tyranny'. His second recommendation is that we choose an institution to defend, something we care about, such as a library, labour union, parks board, court or newspaper. That fascist regimes typically attack institutions in order to build wealth for the elite.

Some of my favourite recent sights

First look at what Project 2025 says about gender:

Today's inspo:
"What's the purpose of a man,
Just to turn his eyes away?
Just to throw up both his hands?
What's the use of his backbone,
If he never stands upright?
If he turns his back on everyone
That he could've stood beside?"

Reading Project 2025, and a Guide to Resistance. Somewhat overwhelmed. Chewing through understanding slowly.
