Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility, where we raise awareness of transgender people and the discrimination and hurdles that face in our world.

If you have to pay people to vote your way, it must be hard to comprehend people hating you for free.
The worst people in the world are like "They must be getting paid to hate me" when in reality everyone is happy to hate them for free

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

I checked and while the government did update the warnings for Canadians travelling to the US, they only updated the info about new requirements for Canadians planing to stay in the US more than 30 days. The rest of those listed “risks” aren’t new and are considered normal precautions to be taken.
I’d like to correct that Canada has not issued a travel warning. I was excited and went to check. I do believe MP Charlie Angus advised made comments to that effect, but the Canadian government has not.

Government abductions are unconstitutional.

Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional.

If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute…

They’ll get to you soon enough.

Canada will be okay.
Our history proves it.

I don’t usually asks for reposts but both video sites restricted this… because of a 1-sec clip of Rene Lévesque smoking.

If you like this video, it would help a lot if you could recommend this to your followers. #cdnpoli ❤️

Canada has an economist as Prime Minister and Mexico has an environmental scientist and Dr of Philosophy for president. Meanwhile the USA has a rapist con artist and Soviet sleeper agent as their president.

Ukrainian military engineers are building a pontoon bridge across a river - a vital line for delivering supplies to the front line. Under constant threat, our soldiers are moving forward, providing the troops with everything they need to counter Russian aggression.

Heroes at work!💙💛
