My light is small, but I aim it at the dark.
Not famous. Not powerful. Still a witness.
Indigenous & proud • 2S • He/Him or They/Them
One good-faith reply. Then I block bigotry.

Yesterday was one year since I lost my maman.
I still miss her deeply. Grief has changed shape, but it has not left. Love has not left either.
Blood does not make a real family. She was mine. She still is.
You are not alone in grief.

Canada Post ending remaining home mail delivery and replacing it with more community mailboxes is going to hurt a lot of people.
For seniors, disabled people, and anyone with mobility issues, pain, fatigue, or limited transportation, this is not a small neutral change. It is one more barrier.

People in Canada should not have to fear threats, spyware, or harassment for speaking out against atrocities abroad. That should be a basic principle. Citizen Lab is right that Canada needs to take transnational repression seriously. #cdnpoli

If Indigenous Peoples have to explain our rights in terms of “economic returns” to be heard by Carney’s government, that is not reconciliation. That is colonialism repackaged for the boardroom. #cdnpoli #Indigenous #Métis

You do not have to support the Iranian regime to know that Iranian civilians are innocent.
Israel and the U.S. did not show up to liberate anyone.
They showed up with bombs.

Mark Carney governs like exactly what he is: a Bay Street Liberal.
Workers are hurting, affordability is still brutal, and his government is talking about boosting defence exports by 50% and massively growing the arms industry.
That is not putting Canadians first!

#Trump said Iran would capitulate before ever shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
So, is anyone actually surprised that this massive stain on humanity was wrong yet again?

I expected Avi Lewis to get my first-place vote in the #NDP leadership race, but I ended up ranking @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social first.
He’s lived what he talks about for decades, and it showed. He felt real, not political.

I know I'm a tad late on this, but Bad Bunny's Half-Time Show was poignant and... Well, it was incredible.
For just a moment, I forgot about all the hate and all the darkness.
Thank you, Benito.

Brutal. The LPC's recruiting of Doly Begum, deputy leader of the provincial Ontario New Democratic Party, as a federal candidate is a huge blow. She flipped Scarborough Southwest in 2018. This looks like betrayal, and it raises serious questions about where the NDP is headed. #cdnpoli

I read the Leap Manifesto and @avilewis.ca's policy points. He’s the furthest left in this race, and he’s secured this #NDP member’s vote (barring a serious scandal). #cdnpoli

Marimar Martinez (Chicago teacher) was shot 5x by a CBP agent, rushed from the hospital still bleeding, branded a “domestic terrorist,” and the DOJ dropped the case. Rep. Garcia read the agent’s bragging texts. #CBP #ICE #CivilRights

@leahgazan.bsky.social — Are you endorsing anyone for leader ( @avilewis.ca or @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social), or staying neutral?
I’m deciding between them, and I’m prioritizing bold left policy, getting rid of #FPTP, and reaching younger voters.

Post 1 (the question):
Question for NDP leadership candidates: Is proportional representation (PR) your top democratic reform—yes/no, and which model (MMP, STV, etc.)? Also: how do you self-describe politically (democratic socialist / social democrat / other)?
