We gasp for air among people who believe they are absolutely right, whether it be in their machines or their ideas. And for all who cannot live without dialogue and the friendship of other human beings, this silence is the end of the world. #AlbertCamus

Weren’t we β€œelbows up”? Why are we appeasing a criminal president, a corrupt administration, and the genocidal maniacs who are pulling his strings at the expense of human lives? What’s the long game in the Middle East? Have we forgotten their threats to Greenland or to Canada (51st state nonsense)?

How incredibly vague! Honestly, brother, how is Canada supporting the USA in stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons when the means it’s using to allegedly do so is by starting an illegal war which will cause untold suffering to civilians? CUSMA? Long game? At what cost? For whose profit?

I appreciate the correction, my friend. Thank you! And yes, why is our government supporting these monstrous genocidal sociopaths!?!? Our government, which is supposed to be accountable to the people who elected it and not to foreign influence, is certainly NOT representing our values.

Our PM, @mark-carney.bsky.social, has made a statement in which he has stated his support for the illegal and unjustified military incursion into Iran by Israel and the US. Why are we Canadians supporting these two criminal governments and the monsters that lead them?

…There is no credible short or long term positive outcome for the people of Iran whose suffering, sadly,will worsen. Very saddened, disappointed and disillusioned by a man I voted for and who I thought represented Canadians as a peace loving nation! Prime Minister, you have lost my support. 2/2

Your statement is profoundly disappointing for numerous reasons. You have chosen to condone,rather than condemn, this illegal and morally bankrupt military incursion based on lies and self serving greed, hunger for hegemonic power, false pretences, and corrupt foreign influence…1/2

Has it ever occurred to these geniuses that the customer experience becomes less pleasant when the workers are afraid to say the wrong thing because a computer might stop allowing them to have money?

The captain of my favourite team just shook hands and laughed along with a pedophile president who has single-handedly destroyed Canada's relationship with the U.S., on the same day that more evidence came out showing Trump raped a child. Not sure where the fanbase goes from here.

Kinda amazing that Trump shits on Canada and Mexico every day, and there's the Mexican-American captain of Canada's Toronto Maple Leafs, Auston Matthews, standing behind him as he defiles an Olympic Gold Medal

He hates your mother and your fans Auston Matthews but - you do you: be a collaborator

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

I just read Gunther Stent’s 1977 review of The Selfish Gene (in the Hastings Center Report), and oh boy. A 🧡

Some samples:
Dawkins’ β€œperverse” definition of the gene β€œdenatures the meaningful and well-established central concept of genetics into a fuzzy and heuristically useless notion.” /1

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr recently went on a propaganda podcast and admitted that he’s not scared of germs because he used snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

We went from actual medical professionals leading US Health to this demented repugnant asshole wanting to kill us all.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
