@wyonaf The older I get the more I become firmly convinced that the core difference has NEVER been “left versus right” but has ALWAYS really been about “human empathy versus malignant narcissism.” 🤷 #IWillDieOnThisHill
“Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company.” https://t.co/ZF1TIgpo9L
On this day in 1920, seven Toronto-based artists, frustrated with the conservatism of Canadian art, came together to exhibit their work as the Group of Seven.
Their art highlighted the landscape of Canada and created a new artistic vision for the country.
🚨 Last week, Pierre Poilievre threatened to override the fundamental rights & freedoms of Canadians.
Today, we saw Pierre's Conservative MP follow in his leader's footsteps & attack the Morgantaler decision - the Supreme Court ruling that decriminalized abortion in Canada.
@MarkGerretsen CPC can deny till the cows come home. It is a simple, straight-forward fact that a good chunk of currently sitting CPC MPs ran for election on an anti-abortion platform - and won.
I subscribe to the @globeandmail to keep aware of what a news organization that is respected by many is reporting. The respect is misplaced. The Globe enables, even seems to encourage and foment, misinformation, disinformation, and blatant falsehoods. And, then works to cover them up or deny them.
I have a lot to say about Jeannie Epper. Most of all, I loved her. I always felt that we understood and appreciated one another.
After all, it was the 70s. We were united in the way that women had to be in order to thrive in a man’s world, through mutual respect, intellect and collaboration.
Jeannie was a vanguard who paved the way for all other stuntwomen who came after. Just as Diana was Wonder Woman, Jeannie Epper was also a Wonder Woman.
She is so beautiful to me. Jeannie, I will miss you.
@danielmullen@birgitomo So basically you’re saying you’re okay with shooting some woman stealing formula for their baby…because I think you should be very clear that IS what you’re arguing here. You’re saying collateral human damage is “okay” in the more important protection of “stuff.”
@ThatADHD_EA@MuumiTiina@birgitomo A U.S. study found that in spite of all of the $$$ poured into their departments and all of the militarized toys they’ve bought and the last 25+ years of militarized training by the Israeli Occupation Forces…U.S. cops solve less than 2% of all major crimes.
@bjdobson08@timthielmann The fact that after 500 years of the worst kinds of abuses of all kinds being heaped on, your first thought here is “how will this affect development of other people’s resources I don’t fucking own” is more telling about your complete lack of a human soul than you think it is.
This is just the same old, tired colonial assimilationist discourse, collapsing Indigenous peoples into settler capitalist categories to legitimate and perpetuate accumulation by dispossession to the manifest benefit of settler "British Columbians." Tim's in over his head.
