it reminds me of white flight and the reversal of it. people with inherited wealth get to have freedom of movement and stability of ownership, and those of it without continue to get fucked over.

if you have enough wealth to leave this country, i am sorry but there is no way you didn’t benefit from a history of stolen land and stolen people.

you can leave. but don’t expect people not to be angry.

i think Black and Indigenous folks have the right to be as angry as we want to be.

this is my homeland. i can’t get citizenship somewhere else. our people didn’t vote for this bullshit, we fought against it, and then what, y’all get to just walk away while we are stuck?

rich white ppl win again.

People who are angry and scared they have no legal migration out of the US options, when it's becoming increasingly dangerous for them...

do not get angry at those able to leave

do understand that most of us have ancestors who fled, sometimes to the US, illegally

That will remain an option.

a big FUCK YOU to anyone who judges a person who’s unemployed. 😤

there are multiple reasons why someone could be unemployed currently, and when you constantly belittle them for it, it only makes it harder.

CHOOSE KINDNESS, but also, mind your business. 👏🏻

If I get help with this we can have food and also I can focus on not getting my phone and Internet shut off which will end in us being homeless without help. My phone and internet are my life lines for surviving. I’m about to be a day late on my phone bill.

Forced drug treatment by the government means the Sask government thinks it should decide who has rights and when, if use of the the notwithstanding clause against trans kids wasn't already a clue.

This is another toe over the democracy line no one seems concerned about. #Sask #SkPoli

Scott Mo3 announces forced drug treatment will come this fall.

I'll bet Saskatchewans' entire deficit that alcoholics that kill mothers while driving won't be forced into treatment because half our government would be gone.

Actual quote from Graham Platner: “I will be sure to inform the black guys I know with bolts that they're Nazis now and not USMC Scout/Snipers”

those bolts are always related to nazis. the US military unfortunately has a significant issue with neonazism:

a basic tenant of deradicalization is either removing racist / fascist tattoos or doing a cover up piece.

a lot of tattoo artists even offer discounts for covering up either gang and/or prison ink. this is achievable and a basic first step if you are remotely serious about becoming a leftist.

So— this is why no one trusts us— because the amount of leeway we’re willing to give one another is stupid. WE DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT THEY’RE OFFERING US. Stop fighting to let the most basic of bitches represent us. If it didn’t matter enough to him to remove it, why should he be trusted?

Jeffrey Phillips @11thjeff.bsky.social · 6h

Roxane, do you really and truly believe that Platner is a Nazi? Can you point to any evidence apart from this one regrettable tattoo? Anything in his campaign literature or his speeches? In the platform he's running on?

Serious question.
