Toyed with running my own fedi server but the return of Trump has me looking at cosocial.ca to move everything to Canada...

In our 🇨🇦 elections coming up, asking a politician about their stance on this issue is extremely telling. It tells you what they think of free speech (what speech is acceptable and where). It tells you whether they truly believe all humans have equal value.
Asking them about "this one issue" tells you all you need to know about where they'd land on all the other important issues of our day. How they might craft policy or make concessions. It's hardly harm reduction if you're just voting for the same politics with a different mask

Not a yankee, but Harris trotting out Obama and Clinton to browbeat Michigan voters is insane. Beyond the ridiculous things they said to justify genocide... They can dismiss those voters as "single issue" but they're wrong. #Palestine is a lens through which we can see injustice in our world very clearly.
Got the winter jacket out and forgot I put it away with this badge I got from the first big Ottawa march last winter. Still relevant...
Brad RosenheimI remind you that, when the media cowers to vindictive leadership, fascism is here. It is no longer coming, it is here. This is what it looks like. Both the Washington Post and the LA Times made similar announcements today, and several editors have left the LA Times in protest already. Both are controlled by billionaires who would seek to curry favor with a despot to maintain their lavish lifestyles and controls on society.
But it is not just big media. You are all surrounded by folks who would go Nazi in a heartbeat (in the U.S. and elsewhere). That is the point to keep us unhealthy and near starving, so that we do what they tell us. A good read about this (5-10 minutes), penned in 1941, is Who Goes Nazi, by Dorothy Thompson. It could be your mechanic, your dentist, the teacher of your children, or all of them.

It's just so demoralizing thinking about how difficult it is right now to get anyone in a position of influence to care about basic human rights and dignity, and how much more difficult it'll get if the political winds take us in the direction we're headed.
If you've seen the kinds of images we're seeing this weekend and you're not moved by it I don't know what will. Also fuck Israel
