Don’t be fooled by Doug Ford’s “Captain Canada” shtick or his cooperation with Prime Minister Mark Carney. He wants to gut Ontario’s public healthcare and privatize it.

The privatization of Ontarios health care under Doug Ford continues.

Dude, you are pretending to have our country's interests in mind when you "go visit" the people wanting to fragment Canada.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

It shows DHS lied.

The SAVE Act has passed the House, making it harder for 69 million American women to vote.

This isn’t about voter fraud or undocumented immigrants.

This is about suppressing the female vote.

They want to repeal the 19th and this is a step in that direction.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023.

They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds.

Without them, he will lose the organ.
