@Rogers been out of internet over 20 hours now. Roger’s Outage map through MyRogers says there are no outages in this area which is patently false. I waited two hours in the chat queue only to be disconnected and told to “try again later.” Please help!!

[The Luigi Case @LuigiCaseFiles]

Luigi Mangione’s next court appearance is next Tuesday. Keep talking about Luigi!

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

Réquiem æternam dona ei, Dómine.

Holy Trinity, one God,
Have mercy on the souls of the faithful departed.

Let us humbly pray for the Cardinals as they gather for the conclave. May they be granted the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to discern the will of His Church.

🙏🏼

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

In the wake of his death, we remember Pope Francis as a Pope of peace through his tireless appeals and constant visits to show his closeness to those suffering the consequences of one of the most unjust human-made disasters: war.

[Afeni ☭ | #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 @factsandfire]

Pope Francis was pro-Palestinian, pro-Black, pro-LGBTQIA+, and pro-progress. The next Pope is going to be the farthest right you can imagine, because fascism seeks to infect every institution. And it’s on the rise around the globe, buckle up.

[United Nations @UN]

“Pope Francis was a transcendent voice for peace, human dignity and social justice.

He leaves behind a legacy of faith, service and compassion for all.”

While MAGA distracts and fires the three top veterinarians working on H5N1, bird flu is ravaging livestock and mutating to infect humans. The mortality rate is 54%. We should be scared.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us #PrayTogether for peace in martyred Ukraine, in the Middle East, in Sudan and South Sudan, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Myanmar, tried by a recent earthquake, and in Haiti, where violence continues to rage, with two religious women killed several days ago.

I typically decline my ballot for ethical reasons. This time, I will vote for the Party that has taken a stance against ongoing gncd.

Voting "strategically" is a thing, but can you live with yourself giving your vote to a Party that SUPPORTS the murder of innocents ?

[Green Party of Canada @CanadianGreens]

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan unfolds, Israel’s actions—blocking humanitarian aid and carrying out airstrikes—blatantly violate the ceasefire and continues the genocide of Palestinians. Canada must call for Palestinian statehood and implement a strong two-way arms embargo.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

Listen to ONE speech by @SenSanders to hear what A TRUE SOCIALIST with a backbone looks like.

The NDP are just like the Dems. Literally pushing people they ARE SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT (e.g., workers) to vote conservative.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

Hot take- as a former staunch NDP-er, I sincerely HOPE the @NDP lose party status.

They’re a fkn disgrace to the concept of socialism and supporting workers. They’re wet blankets who stand for nothing but wrapping neoliberalism in orange wrapping paper.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

@David_Moscrop I have been a Marxist for over half my life. But two years of being DEEPLY COMMITTED to a leadership position in a large union left me with nothing but PTSD and a hatred of modern unions. I never experienced so much sexist and racist abuse in my life.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

@Camh2 @David_Moscrop Exactly! And this is why Unions of today miserably FAIL at what unions are supposed to be… and honestly many Canadian/American unions are fundamentally colonial, sexist, and racist. Very very sad. Papa Karl is screaming from his grave.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

@David_Moscrop @Lancaster67 As a former President of a large CUPE local I can confidently say the large unions of today ARE NOT UNIONS BASED IN SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES!

They’re just sexist (and often racist) governance engines that actually maintain the neoliberal system.

Unions will never save us.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

It’s not just ableism, it’s straight up EUGENICS!

Just like “banning” masks, reducing/eliminating accessibility, disability supports that don’t even come close to meeting the bare necessities to live… the government doesn’t give a sh*t.

[Samantha’s Law @SamanthasLaw]

Myth: #Disabled people don’t contribute to economy. There’s a persistent belief disabled contribute little or nothing to economy. This is not only inaccurate but also deeply rooted in ableist assumptions about productivity & worth.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

And THIS is why they charged Luigi with terrorism. A white guy shooting another white guy in New York is a common occurrence and never been labelled "terrorism" before... It's only terrorism when the ruling class - the oligarchs - are scared.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Musk is afraid of being assassinated. He does not want to be shot. He’s constantly declared he does not want to be killed. He is scared. Now he’s wearing a “bullet proof” vest everywhere he goes, including Trump’s private parties.

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

THIS. The Death Penalty is a disgusting stain on our society. This "MAGA" dictatorship claims to have "Christian" values (they do not) yet promote the Death Penalty? HYPOCRITES!!!

Read what @helenprejean has to say about this.

[The Luigi Case @LuigiCaseFiles]

The ACLU has issued a statement regarding Luigi Mangione:
“State—sponsored murder is wrong—and no one should be killed by the state for political gain. End the death penalty NOW.”

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

@EdKrassen This is absolutely hilarious. Canada is nothing on the international stage but a laughing stock... when will we realize we're the "friend" that tags along but the "popular kids" really don't want us there?

Instead of this nonsense, where's the clean water for First Nations?

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

hey @europeanunion - When are you going to start offering citizenship to the descendants of settlers in Canada? I'm talking to you @gouvernementFR, @GOVUK, @DutchMFA... Many of my ancestors are indigenous, many are French too and I want TF out of Canada...

[Cate Laro @cate_lar]

... There is no future job security. There is no future here in Canada at all, period.

Healthcare sucks, cost of living is unspeakably high (as is inflation - and both continue to grow), job market sucks...

Join the movement of folks LEAVING CANADA.
