Activists don’t emerge from nowhere. They are produced by injustice. If a society treated people with basic fairness, there would be no need for most activism.

The fact that trans people must fight simply to exist without fear is not proof of excess power, it’s proof of ongoing failure.

Canadians should reflect on why they get so upset about selling Canada to Trump.

After all...

Canada's leaders have been selling stolen Indigenous land and resources to foreign companies for 157+ years.
“Canada is not for sale” until I sell it.

This woman was targeted in a racist hit-and-run in Winnipeg last week. I hope they find that asshole who ran over her*repeatedly* before driving off, leaving her in peril.

Still think that racism doesn't exist in Canada?
An Indigenous woman who was involved a serious hit-and-run in Winnipeg is speaking out.

The family, who is from Buffalo Point First Nation in southern Manitoba, hopes telling their loved one's story will lead to justice and finding those responsible.

This is maddening!
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Annexation is against international law - there is no both sides of the issue.

Are we now going to both sides the breaking of other laws? Like ‘What do you think of beating women? Home invasion? Murder?’

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. 

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
