I have to wonder then, for those of us who have British grandparents but don't live in Britain, (and don't have passports) do they think we're British? Their logical is... illogical at best.
I mean, he's around JD PopeKiller on the regular so I am not holding my breath while remaining hopeful.
Shocker: the corporate stooge "Food Professor" is peddling the raw milk BS for fascists.
Not a shred of credibility.
A perfect pairing!
Shocker hey?

Graphic with a black and white photo of France Ellen Watkins Harper. On top of the photo, there is a poem by Frances Ellen Harper, an abolitionist and suffragist titled "Bury Me in a Free Land". The poem reads "I would sleep, dear friends, where bloated might/Can rob no man of his dearest right; My rest shall be calm in any grave/Where none can call his brother a slave."
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was a prolific writer who fought for women’s rights and the abolition of slavery.
She was one of the first Black people to publish a short story, authored many celebrated poetry collections, and helped enslaved people escape through the Underground Railroad.
Well said. I could not agree more.
There are no words for this horror.
Granules of the dried resin olibanum/frankincense
Today's #fragrance is from Olibanum, a niche French brand.
Their line is all about simplicity blended with their star ingredient: olibanum! Olibanum is a tree resin from the Boswellia genus of trees. It's silky & slightly citric, and has been used for millennia. You might know it as frankincense.

You guys, they're not stupid
They're doing propaganda
When they lie through their teeth, they are doing propaganda
Do you think the people behind Big Brother in 1984 were stupid? Big Brother says lots of nonsensical shit.
It's called

The question you should be asking yourself isn't "why are stupid people in charge?" It's "who is susceptible to this messaging and why is it working?"
The mass execution of paramedics by the Israeli army has been barely mentioned in the media.
Students who speak up against the genocide have been targeted.
But there are those who shine a light.
My latest reflection on Ted Schmidt, the Kingston Rd. prophet.

There are too many, especially in Alberta, who think they do. Much as I saw when Ford first got elected, ppl have swallowed the lie that they’re paying for slackers and believe they’ll never need the systems and services they vote to cut. And then they’re shocked when they do, in fact, need those.
I could not agree more. One of the biggest challenges in BC is the health authorities and navigating between them. The BC NDP have been working to address some of the biggest issues but goodness it’s not great yet.
“We must do what they fear--tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most power weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon. So make use of it.”

To think this is applicable today, to us in the USA is simply unimaginable.
This is a way better idea. The best, in fact.
every person online who thinks the tariffs are a good idea are people who are trying to figure out how to take their first step as a huamn being

Go Mark! So glad you’re running again.
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
a world without trans people has never existed and never will
