Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

When governments betray the scaffolding of survival, we all pay.

ACT didn’t fail. ACT was gutted.
This isn’t a Toronto story.
This isn’t just a queer story.

Eurostar’s response shows why accessibility isn’t a perk.

Access isn’t a privilege to pre-book like legroom — it’s a right.

When disabled passengers are told “it’s your fault,” the message is clear: inclusion is optional.

That’s not #accessibility. That’s #gatekeeping.

I was verbally insulted by Eurostar “speciality assistance” staff at St Pancras.

Despite booking an assisted journey and following instructions.

My intelligence was questioned.

The official response?

Brian Kilmeade isn’t sorry for what he said.

He’s sorry the mic was on, the mask slipped, and the audience wasn’t buying it.

When your “apology” is just regret that people heard the quiet part out loud… that’s not accountability, that’s PR damage control.

Medical gameplay isn’t a luxury — it’s infrastructure.
Until crews can build rebel hospitals away from the fight, we’re just dressing wounds.

Donald Trump defines “crime” as refusing to worship the cult. He threatens tanks when you won’t comply.

There is no high road when the road itself is under siege.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Knowledge is power. That’s why fascists fear it. That’s why they burn it, ban it, bury it.

The meltdown over a kerning change at Cracker Barrel says everything about how much power gets tied up in a logo.

Now imagine what happens if we quietly downgrade a cult idol from a logo to just… a man with a middle name.

Curious how quickly “never again” turned into “over & over.”

Troops have been deployed to police Americans — most recently against protesters in 2020.

This isn’t history, it’s a pattern of predatory elites protecting themselves.

When Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp,” he wasn’t targeting corruption. He was targeting accountability.

Turns out our server tried democracy’s favourite trick — a disappearing act. 🫠

We hit a hiccup & got caught our trousers down'. Here’s what you might have missed while the site was face-down:

Eliminating Trustees Is Treason to Democracy

Ontario’s education minister floated cutting school trustees. That’s not reform — it’s erasure. Trustees are democracy’s watchdogs.

This isn’t about tariffs or trade. It’s about sovereignty, dignity, and not letting anyone treat Canada like a side hustle in their empire. We’ve fought too hard and come too far to ever roll over for someone else’s convenience. (2/2)

Funny how the same folks who sneered “go back to where you came from” suddenly clutch pearls when Canadians remind them we already have our own home — and we’re damn proud of it. (1/2)

Disabled people aren’t the reason you’re struggling financially.
Disabled people are actually being targeted far more than most other groups in society, and are disproportionately likely to be in poverty themselves

The worst thing about Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino marketing to younger consumers & replacing the woefully outdated logo is #PedoPresidentTrump still refuses to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles, choosing instead to protect those on the #EpsteinList who paid to rape teenage girls
