Omg HAHA the finance minister walks up while NDP Leader Avi Lewis is live on air speaking to David Cochrane.
Avi immediately starts pressing him on giving way more in deductions to big business than they’re spending on affordability measures for Canadians 👀👀👀

Students at college and University campuses across Ontario protested the Ford government's attack on education. Students are fighting against cuts to OSAP, underfunding in the sector, and an attack on student services and student unions. Enough is enough, Ford has to go! – at Toronto, Ontario

800 “Democratic voters divided on El Sayed” stories + Stevens last min suicide mission and, per NBC, El-Sayed won 95% of Dems—2 pts higher than Rogers won republicans. Yet the latter did not have a single “divided Republicans” story. An all time completely made up media narrative

JK Rowling has not uttered a word about Cornell.
JK Rowling has made no mention of the girls being raped in ICE detention centres.
All of her "concerns" hinge on her hatred of transgender people.
All of her "concerns" are for women and girls of a certain class.
1/4
J.K. Rowling has published a new essay defending her views on the trans community and calling out trans activism in the 21st century for being "elitist."
"My views haven't changed... what to me represents no change at all in my political or ideological outlook has, in recent years, seen me and women like me subject not only to criticism but also to death threats. This is because we oppose the current, dominant strain of trans activism, which holds that a man who declares himself a woman is, literally, a woman, and is therefore entitled to be treated as a woman in all contexts..."

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

Rioting is the voice of the unheard. But the more organized and effective collective action is at all levels, the less chaos there will be, anyway. Union leaders need to build mass strikes quickly.

A staunch activist, Gillespie says her working class background sets her apart from the field and this would make her uncompromising as a leader.

Apropos of nothing, I’d like to point out that when poll after poll showed Democrats losing ground with Arab Americans by massive margins in 2024, the media did not read it as a signal that Democrats had lost their way but as a moral failing by Arab American voters themselves.

Sally Rooney in March: "By standing in solidarity with Palestine, we are learning how to fight for life on earth"

And some of y’all won’t even refuse invites to speak at the 92nd Street Y
Sally Rooney's books can no longer be sold in Britain due to her support for Palestine Action.
She refused to withdraw her support for the direct action group which targeted the Israeli arms industry, costing her the royalties from all of her UK sales.
