Last year, the Italian-American community of New Haven, CT was proud to install “Indicando la via al futuro” to replace a statue of Christopher Columbus removed in 2020.

This beautiful statue of an immigrant family more accurately represents us.

I never mentioned he was. His bullshit blaming trans folk for the things shitty white CIS males do pisses me off. Things won't change until folks start taking responsibility. He's showing he had no interest in taking any responsibility on his end by spreading these lies.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sit-in#...

Sit ins are a useful tool to use when dealing with violent fascist regimes though it will not protect anyone if the regime decides to attack. Nothing really protects from that.

Sit ins make the violence in the arrests and beatings really stick out.

Y'all need to relearn the art of the sit in.

If you are going to be arrested anyway, make them look like absolute goons and learn how to relax completely.

...shouldn't surprise anyone.

They told everyone they were Nazis and wanted to destroy the Constitution in Project 2025.

Stop pretending you are surprised because if these journalists are surprised, they are shitty journalists.

None of people pay federal taxes and there is no reason to withhold benefits for any reason if we can set this up.

The people who will benefit from this service are all impoverished and not always in a place where they are capable of thinking I need to do my taxes. Poor dementia patients, people in mental distress, people hospitalized, etc

🧵 When you click on The Taxpayer Federation link in the article, the first thing you see is "Ax the Tax."

It's a conservative lobbying group that represents corporate interests and uses Poilievre quotes.

Always look up who. Who will almost always lead to why.

Automatic tax filing announcement met with mixed reactions

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says the Canada Revenue Agency acting as both the tax collector and tax filer is a serious conflict of interest.

I always love pointing out that my entire family, going back a few generations, are antifascists.

Roz @reiverroz.bsky.social · 1d

Partito Nazionale Fascista, PNF was Benito Mussolini's political party. Antifa were the Italian Resistance. The US military were Antifa as were all the Allies.

But I still think this is a good idea just so people know exactly what they are saying and have no excuses for their behavior.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 2d

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I'm not thinking about breaking any laws but I also don't use AI because it's shit. It defeats any purpose for humanity and I'm a part of that group.

Until I see officials taking the job apocalypse seriously that this shit ushers in, there's no reason to use it and every reason to sue it for theft.

America is no one's friends and they do not deal honestly.

Their words and promises are not worth the ink and the paper that was on every agreement that orange Nazi destroyed.

Fuck America.

Susan Delacourt: Does Canada even want a friend like Donald Trump?

Advice from people close to the mercurial U.S. president suggests that friendship with him is like no other — and certainly may not be in Canada's interests, Susan Delacourt writes.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

I'm Canadian and it seems to depend on use from the point of view up here. My dad was born in Scotland so he's first generation Canadian and I'm second according to my dad's side of the family and use in Canada. My mom's family came over in 1747. I'm 8th generation landed on that side.
