Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

So the federal government is fighting a global war on Antifa in defense of western civilization (their words). Seems like something the major media might want to look into or mention at all

Continuing budget hearing. Speaker 94: my love for city compels me to speak. I’m angry but also afraid. Increasingly unliveable. Decries lack of transparency. How do we know more from whistleblowers? Claiming that these aren’t cuts isn’t true. Vancouver deserves better

I’m speaker #237 of 630 speaking to Vancouver’s city council tonight to oppose the ABC party’s austerity budget. Listening to everyone come forward to speak has been so incredible, I love this city

Our new piece on antifa, and why Trump’s unconstitutional orders designating antifa as a domestic terrorist organization set a dangerous precedent for Canada (and everywhere else)

Trump's Targeting of Antifa is the First Step Down a Dangerous Path
Antifa isn’t an organization—it’s a decentralized anti-fascist ideology. As governments increasingly target it, Canadians must stay informed, speak out, and protect civil liberties.

Lauren Southern trying & failing to become a tradwife shows the massive shift from mid-2010 alt-right girls to the present day role of women in the far-right. The alt-right wasn’t pro-woman but it let a few female grifters slip through the cracks

Fat Vance is now canon
Trump posted this, but more importantly we’d like to remind everyone these posts get saved into the library of congress so people hundreds of years from now can also view them. Trump just included the fat JD Vance meme into that record.

Excited to share the little interview I did with Sara Petersen in preparation for her piece for Bustle. It’s been 4 years since I published my original article for @praeyesright.bsky.social on why gen z women are attracted to the tradwife lifestyle, and the #tradlife movement continues to change
