FIRST PERSON | My spouse asked what kind of woman I was. A life and death moment gave me the answer | CBC News After coming out as trans to her partner, Carrie Biner grappled with knowing who she was as a woman. But when she and other bystanders saw an overdose crisis unfolding and had to respond with urgency,...

This is a powerful first person story!

We have been misled. We thought that in the USA we had a Senate and a House of Representatives which might be involved in initiating any act of war. Apparently not.

Now what???

Bombing Iran and starting a war to distract from the released Epstein files. Just imagine the content of that which the DOJ is illegally withholding from the public and has not been released. What kind of distraction does that necessitate?

Beyond frightening.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

FACT CHECK: No, Pierre Poilievre.

This man isn’t facing a $750,000 fine for simply saying β€˜there are two genders.’

Once you read the actual B.C. Human Rights Tribunal decision, you might find Poilievre’s defence of this β€œtruth” and β€œfree speech” chilling and, well, indefensible:

US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: β€˜I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

OpenAI flagged the BC shooter as violent and potentially dangerous but didn’t deem it necessary to inform the Canadian authorities of their intentions.

8 people were killed in a mass shooting that could have been prevented πŸ€―β€¦ that’s revolting.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Interesting - was just wondering if Canada could run an Underground Railroad. I’m sure there are families hiding out, Anne Frank-style. Obviously, as a Canadian, I won’t be travelling to the U.S., but I’ll find other ways to support Minnesota.

Ohio bill would overturn conversion therapy bans, limit LGBTQ+ support in schools β€’ Ohio Capital Journal Ohio Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation that would punish state agencies and local governments for being too supportive of LGBTQ+ youth.

"Ohio Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation that would punish state agencies and local governments for being too supportive of LGBTQ+ youth."

Read that again: punishing for being too supportive. Affirming youth is not a crime, it apparently needs to be said.
