Ty. I think I still prefer to hear from a local indigenous community than to take their word for it. Maybe I'll call the friendship centre.

I saw shirts at Walmart for Indigenous Orange shirt day coming up. I didn't buy one yet though, bc it said 100 percent is donated, but not to where. Can someone confirm this is going to Indigenous communities? #Indigenous #everychildmatters
People keep telling me to wait for the next election & I genuinely think this reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what’s happening. What we are experiencing is fascist state capture by a fascist political party, one destroying institutions, civil liberties, & the rule of law.

Virginia Giuffre isn’t here to tell her story anymore, but she wrote a memoir and it’s coming out in October. She deserves to be heard and remembered. #BookSky Details here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...
If you’re going up against an opponent that is not playing by the rules — cheating — it is malpractice to not do something about that. It is dangerous. They are substituting the rule of law for the rule of Don!
San Francisco has hit its lowest murder rate in 60 years — 35 murders last year vs Houston’s 322. Anyone think Fox News will cover that?
Fox REFUSES to show you this stat, but we will: Louisiana’s murder rate is nearly 400% higher than California’s
Tampa’s murder rate is 20% higher than Los Angeles’

Per capita, Memphis has 243% more violent crime than Los Angeles
AI boosters should put up or shut up. If it's so harmless, fine. Trade households with the communities living near data centers, then. YOU raise your kids with an omnipresent background hum and a precarious water supply since you love it so much.
If you call someone a man of faith, it seems, for the moment, like a compliment. I’d like that to change. ~ Christopher Hitchens
It is the taxpayers’ money, not Dictator Trump’s money to be used to threaten people who say things he doesn’t like.
So six days ago, I broke my 40 year addictions of cigarette and cannabis use. I used ALLEN CARR EASY WAY products. (hypnotherapy) I've never felt better. I'm still in withdrawal and am sometimes surprised by my crankiness, bc I mostly feel wonderful. Thought I should put that out there.
Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too
Omg! I'm so sorry for the pronouns! I'm actually not a bigot! I just have ADHD and didn't notice until now. Forgive me, my dear! I'm really batting low this morning and think I'll get more coffee!
Agreed. We don't have a lot of great independent reporting here. Ours is just as skewed by one side or the other. I tend to read news from the UK and Australia to find less biased reporting.
Look, I understand what you're saying, but in times like these, I think skewed info is probably better than none. That being said, I'm in Canada... your opinion on this matters waaaay more than mine. Good luck to you and yours, sir. I worry for all the good American ppl right now.
A press shut down for telling the absolute truth, wouldn't be there the next week though. So what would you have them do?? Seriously curious here.
You know... the onion is satirical, right? So... if you're smart enough to read the onion and get the point.... You're also smart enough to read between the lines in the regular news and see what they're trying to say w/o getting cancelled.
The press is scared and walking a very difficult line.
I think that is part of it, but I also think that he's just expecting a civil war to start. They say that liberals are weak and stupid publicly, but in private, they know it's exactly the opposite of truth. He fears the educated ppl coming together to overthrow him.
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
Just because a moron says it doesn't make it true. The Gulf of America is only the Gulf of America IN America. The rest of the world knows better. Just because your citizens are afraid of their dictator, doesn't change reality.
Hey mainstream media colleagues: you cannot be deported to a country you are not from. That’s kidnapping and trafficking. Call it that. You are lying if you say otherwise.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Omg so much better than the original!
Well, you'd be right! They are not allowed. However, when a madman is in charge of one of the most militarized countries in the world, others don't argue.

The only way to protect women and children is to do it yourself. Stand up. Stand between Stand for NO MORE LIES. Trying to work from the top down goes no where. Get together ppl, if you really care.
No, it's absolutely not. Patriarchy is responsible. Men not standing up to men is responsible. Rape culture is responsible. Boys will be boys is responsible. These idiots can't make money off selling ppl without clients to sell them too. And any list that you are given wouldn't help the situation
What's next?
You don't care about kids at all, then. You only care to talk about who's to blame.
You asked. I answered. Sry you don't blame your church, but you should.
You mean Intel latest to be extorted by President Dump.
It's a bit late, but we hear ya
Oh, I know. But they seem to be in control currently, so I'm not sure we should show them something else to hate on. We need this science. Everything science comes up with something that could actually help with climate change, I think don't talk about it! They'll take it away.
We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn't been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake. ~ Catherine Fahringer
You know who I hold accountable? Men! Disgusting fn men with too much money and too much power. And Churches, for teaching people to have blind faith when the truth is right in front of them. AND YOU SHOULD TOO.
Excuse me? Who said I support any fn politician? I don't. I support Human and animal rights. And I have experienced exactly what you are speaking of.. All Politicians are corrupt to some extent. You have to remember, politicians are controlled by the rich pricks who put them there
Maggots cannot take the truth. They believe in their hero. They believe he was elected! And they will fight for him. It's why the dems let him get away with the theft of his position. Imagine if they called that election rigged, which it was, what would have happened.
If US tech refuses to respect data sovereignty of Canada and other countries, they should be barred from operating here. We should force them to sell their Cdn division and enforce compulsory licensing of their IP. www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science...
Don't bring water turbines up. The maggots who are finally noticing climate change think this is what's causing it.
It's hard to believe that 77 million are actually this stupid. But they are.
Precisely. Mock the bully. Reporters should adopt this as well, e.g., "When you say that people who spit on DC cops will be treated very roughly, does this mean if they beat the cops with a flagpole you will no longer be pardoning them?"
If they released those files when they were in charge, that would have started a civil war in America. Just like if they spoke up about this election being stolen by Trump, same thing.
Hey NS I Just read an article re a 96 year old who has been using virtual care. No family doctor for 3 years! It got me thinking. Should NSHEALTH make an app where NSIANS can volunteer to swap to virtual? Helping that those with severe medical issues and the senior population find spots 1 of 2
I think some young people would almost prefer that solution anyway. 1of2 Just a random idea. .. teach me how to hashtag this if you think it's a plan, man.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott
Terry Pratchett's "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness". The best quote I've ever read about why being poor can be so expensive.
I'm a big believer in reading. I am not saying I agree with any of these viewpoints, as I obviously have not yet read them.

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.
I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

I adopted a kitten today, just to get distracted from politics. Between her and Bluesky, I'm feeling just a touch of joy again.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Sigh.
Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.
