Wealth is theft. Money isn’t real. The system isn’t broken, it wasn’t designed for us. Find joy and happiness where you can before those are taken away from us too. Most people are nicer than you’d expect. Not me, though.

Millenials are the only generation who received a survivable dosage of Internet. Gen Z has only every known Internet. Boomers and Gen X didn't grow up with Internet, so they succumbed to it immediately.
“Millennials are the only normal generation” theory continues to remain undefeated. we are the only ones that didn't get our brains cooked by the computer

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.

i give myself little projects to keep life interesting & one of this year’s has been metric’s discography—somehow, i'd never actually listened to the band & i may or may not have borrowed the singer's name, so it seemed like time.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.
The crazy thing here is that the two extremes are ‘we want to do bad things to people’ versus ‘we want to do good things for people’, and somehow the latter is viewed as dangerous by smooth brained liberals.
We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists.
If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side.
We need moderates.

All three progressive candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani — including two who took on Democratic incumbents — won their primaries in safe seats almost guaranteeing their election in November. n.pr/4ahbysP

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

You're told we can't "afford it" because industry wants all the money you pay in tax going to them instead, and our politicians keep handing it over.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.

If you consider yourself to be self-aware but are only aware of everything you need to improve & unaware of what you are great at/proud of, you aren’t self-aware.

Why are we not treating this as a hostage situation? Return our people or we impose sanctions! Why are the Liberals silent?
Over 150 Canadians including toddlers have been kidnapped by ICE.
Our government continues with the fiction that travel in the United States is normal.

This is a repudiation of decades of Canadian policy on the independence of our air space.
And Pete Hegseth is the guy we would be negotiating with.
