Marjorie Taylor Green is literally the Jewish space lasers lady
She’s an anti-semite!

Carney is going to so severely shift the economy further into the private sector. He’s signalled massive cuts to everything but resource extraction and the military. This is a conservative government.

Editors, journalists -- you should all be calling @sandela.bsky.social to explain how policing interacts with safety and security and how more policing makes over-policed communities even more less safe (including people with severe mental illness).

Eat my entire ass @aoc.bsky.social. You shut the fuck up about abolishing ICE the moment Biden got elected, you haven't said shit about it for half a fucking decade. No is illegal means no one is illegal, abolishing ICE means abolishing deportations
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

A thread finishing with a partial review of the Liberal Party of Canada's history of supporting eugenics, right up to present day.
Let's start with Tommy Douglas, then consider the AB & BC Sexual Sterilization Acts, and finish with the Liberal Party of Canada.
In 1933, Douglas wrote a Masters thesis in support of eugenics.
Douglas wrote his thesis during peak eugenics indoctrination of Canada's medical profession & academia.

Orr and Maloney in a blowout, with Orr on more than half the ballots cast — an impressive result on a crowded ballot, even in a byelection context.
ABC gets around 13% of the vote, slightly ahead of how Vision did in the 2017 byelection when they were in power.

If we look to history, or to global contemporary movements, there is one constant: the only way to stop tyranny is through workers walking off the job.
And yet, the lack of union density in the US has primed it for a fascist take-over.

Unions are a bullwork against fascism. That means that Canadians have to build our labour militancy too.
