it's so fucking hilarious how every single person who posted about charlie kirk like it was the biggest tragedy to ever happen in the history of the world have NOTHING to say about every other death due to gun violence. just mindnumbingly hypocritical. embarrassing & disgusting
Itโs been my dream to write for Jacobin since I was a teenager.
I finally had that chance, arguing that Canadian leftists obsession with Mamdani falls flat if we arenโt willing to put in the work to build the institutions that let him succeed
Please give it a read
@DushiNjenga Mine is that kid who the folks took to speech therapy and specialists but never spoke.
They thought she was deaf and dumb.
The kid just one day woke up and tapped, she just didn't like talking ๐๐
Letโs have a moment of celebration for Courtenay-Alberni MP @GordJohns Heโs one of the few NDP MPs still standing in Canada, and he did it with a clear victory in his riding.
How did he do it? A quick scan of social media chatter from his constituents: he grew up there, he has a good ground game. He shows up, works hard for ALL the residents in his riding, even those that donโt vote for him. And โฆ heโs one of the nicest people any of them have ever met.
๐10/10 can confirm.
Iโve spoken to Gord many times. Heโs one of a handful of federal politicians who has really taken the time to learn about and understand the complexities of the toxic drug crisis, and to advocate for a full spectrum of programs to fight it. He stands up for what he believes in, and people respect him.
I know I sure do. I havenโt been watching this politics game for all that long, but Iโve sure come to see that a lot of the players are in it for themselves.
Gord Johns is not one of them โฆ heโs a real one.
Sending gratitude to the people of Courtenay-Alberni for sending him back to Ottawa! All Canadians need his voice there ๐๐๐

we need to stop characterizing every student action as "peaceful". the police are not peaceful. zionists are not peaceful. intifada is not peaceful. protestors should not need to be peaceful for you to defend them. we are not going to stop a genocide with love and dancing.
