We cannot be complacent about the emboldened rise of nazis, fascists, racists, white supremacists, regular old bigots, and authoritarian legislation in provinces and the House of Commons.

It's really important to work with politicians, but in the end, you should know when you are willing to end their political career.

Cornyn? This one's easy. This dink needs to retire.

So, what is the lesson?

ALWAYS keep in your back pocket, the criteria for when you threaten a politician with getting primaried, or a campaign to get them de-elected in the next election, or in extreme circumstances, recall--if you have that legislation permitting it.

If you EVER wonder what it ultimately takes to get political change rolling, it is threatening the job of a sitting politician.

Motherfucker: 74-YEAR-OLD, 24-year senator, wants to keep his job, so he'll line up with the christofascists to end the voting rights of tens of millions of mairikkkans.

Next post? Lessons we need to carry from this.

Ken Sim continues to be a moral stain on Vancouver.

Imagine, acknowledging with respect, his fellow party member for taking responsibility for spreading lies, & NOT THEN ADMITTING that he was the source of the lies.

It's one thing to evict him in October, but that's obsolete now. He needs to resign. Now.

The World Cup is 3 months away and this stinking mess will hang around his neck forever.

Are the #bcndp and #bcgreens doing this same dance?

It's maybe happening in part with the federal #ndp, but the federal greens are pro zionist genocide, so they're no treat, not a destination.

Fast forward to 1998 and #Chavez reverses the 16%-84% royalty arrangement with foreign oil bastards, and keeps the bigger number, for the #Bolivarian Revolution, and doesn't get invaded (until that failed weekend coup) because he kept selling oil to mairikkka.

$16.8b is a big wad of cash...it could find those kinds of things above, or

- free childcare up to kindergarten, and before and after school care, with childcare workers as unionized public employees with wages way above the living wage, benefits and pension...

Because our kids are worth it, and so are the people who care for them and help them grow!

They won't ban unions, just chip away to drive union density down to a level where they can drown us in a bathtub.
