I’m proud of myself, and of others here, for getting through another year where being Covid-informed has meant being ridiculed, gaslit, dismissed or bullied. We shall keep going

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Bondi had the Epstein files on her desk back in Feb, said they were ready to review & would be released shortly. That was 11 months ago. She found Trump was all over the files. She hired 1,000 FBI personnel to flag every time Trump’s name appeared. The files will be completely redacted & scrubbed.

He calls a mass school shooting a “situation”

He says all they can do is pray for the students who were “badly hurt”.

This is so wrong.

It’s a shooting. They were shot. Two were killed.

Language matters. Soft pedalling doesn’t help anyone.

They can do more than pray. They can enact gun control

Honestly hope it ends his career, and I’ve always like Liam Neeson.

But children are dying and becoming disabled.

Public health is gone.

The healthcare system is on its knees.

It’s unconscionable to glorify RFK Jr or peddle anti vaccine rhetoric.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized, so Amazon closed all their fulfillment centres in the province.

7 centres shut down. Almost 2,000 people out of work.

This is a massive violation of labour rights.

It’s also an excellent reason to boycott Amazon.

One of my favorite hobbies is photography. I love the challenge of capturing a moment without the aid of any tools. No tripods, filters, cropping, etc; just the camera and my eye.
