To every trans person who has ever felt like they were too much or not enough: you were never required to become someone else's idea of acceptable to deserve a beautiful life you are loved. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈✨

when the lesser evil keeps getting less lesser and more evil, you are not doing harm reduction. You are just reallocating blame

My honest belief is that we have the organizational infrastructure necessary but it’s all atomized and segregated. Everybody is trying to create new projects but we need to be building coalition.

It’s interesting that they can always find the money when necessary. We just have to make it necessary

His first scandal as mayor is finding out he’s a real hooper.
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

it’s so cool that we’re paying $28 BILLION ($9 billion more than initially thought) for jets that can fly 25% of the time
My latest article...DND refuses to say if it received potentially controversial F-35 report from U.S. The Trump administration has barred a July audit from public release.

Land Back. Give them their land back with full autonomy over their own natural resources.
Passing bills that trample Indigenous rights before proposing this just shows how disingenuous he is

You also can’t sustain an economy on non-renewable resources…
“You can’t build a provincial economy on whale watching and coffee shops.”
We need to be a province that builds, makes and creates. We need a provincial industrial strategy and we need to get serious about the loss of industrial land to real estate speculation.
Once industrial land is converted to other uses, it is extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to get it back. And without that land, where exactly do we expect the next generation of manufacturers, skilled tradespeople and industrial employers to go?
This is one of the most consequential challenges we face in British Columbia, with a lot of damage already done. I hope the new government makes it an urgent priority.
