The Premier has ordered the termination and payout of over 15M in HC leadership alone since taking over.
This is obscene. Think of the frontline care this could have bought.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.
A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

"The first thing Canada can do [..] is to close all ICE offices in the country."

"[E]nsure that any contracts with Ontario-based defence manufacturers to sell ICE armoured vehicles are cancelled."

"[P]ressure [..] Hootsuite to end its contract with ICE."

ICE is terrorizing Americans — Canada must not be complicit
From shutting down ICE offices to cancelling corporate contracts, Canadians have real power to stand in solidarity with those targeted by Trump's secret police.

Now would be a great time to create non-toxic versions of Pinterest, Snapchat, Linkedin etc.

Why just stop at Xitter alternatives.

These CEOs have shown who they are. Now people need to boycott them and move on. The technical hurdles to creating these apps are minimal.

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.

The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.
I mean, are they really cheaper or easier to produce than just sourcing the right thing from a mass distributor? it's sweet but doesn't seem Pareto efficient, and I feel like that's important to the revolution

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist.

Premier Eby had clearly seen enough. Ahead of a meeting in Ottawa between the premiers & the PM Carney, Eby decided to call out Alberta’s separatist movement.

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.

This behavior is below the dignity of the presidency, or the dignity of any self-respecting person in society frankly.

Republicans back a president they would never tell their own children to behave like.

To be clear: The Online News Act was not about paying for links.
It was about Google and Facebook using their monopoly power to consolidate the online advertising market for their own ends, and being made to compensate news organizations who were impacted by the loss of that advertising. #PnPCBC

Just stop for a moment and really visualize what kind of human beings are willing to abduct and detain small children, as young as two months old, and then think again about the people giving them orders. Does any part of this remind you in way of America? The America of just 14 months ago...
They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not.
