We’re witnessing a concerted effort by & to cast doubt on the legitimate & strong case by attacking the prosecutor. It’s an effort that takes advantage of every avenue of to which Trump’s allies have access. Their goal? for Trump’s alleged attempt to illegally overturn a presidential election.

Many #Canadians supported #EugenicPolicies in the early 20th century, including some #medical professionals, #politicians & #feminists. #Alberta & #BritishColumbia passed #SexualSterilizationActs, not repealed til 1970s. #Eugenics have continued into the 21st century, including #CoercedSterilization of #IndigenousWomen & what some have termed the #NewEugenics#GeneticEditing & the screening of fetuses for #disabilities.

There's some diaspora on Vancouver Island (and several other places in Global North) who have severe , to the point that they're not just into & capitalism but they're so self unaware of internalized racism that they don't even know when racist white folks them to defend/justify racism & use them to push WS beliefs on their own peoples.

I lose my fu*king shit around Asians like this. They harm us Asians who fight for human rights.

Why do #racist #politicians join cultural associations in their local areas - when they've ignored that cultural community for years prior to trying to gain more #political powers or trying to gain higher ranking political positions?

Simple.

To buy more #cultural #votes, by pretending to care about #BIPOC interests with massive #PRcampaigns, boosted by POCs with #InternalizedRacism & greedy self interests - tokenization is fully #weaponized for illicit gains.

By abusing #IdentityPolitics.

Ministry of Imagination Manifesto released as the world goes to the polls

By Rob Hopkins, originally published by Rob Hopkins blog April 17, 2024

"This year, 49% of the world goes to the polls in 64 countries. As Time magazine puts it, “2024 is not just AN election year. It’s perhaps THE election year”. The outcomes of these elections will hugely shape the world & our future, most importantly of all is the US Presidential election which could see Donald Trump returned as President, which would unleash what The Economist recently described as “the biggest danger to the world”. In most cases, voters are being asked to choose between deeply unimaginative manifestos, all firmly wedded to a business-as-usual economic model that is clearly & dangerously failing around the world...

You can download it here: https://www.resilience.org/stories/2024-04-17/ministry-of-imagination-manifesto-released-as-the-world-goes-to-the-polls/

Please share it far & wide. Send it to any policy-makers or politicians you know. Post it anywhere..."

From my archives. Met up with some fellow environmental & forest protector activist friends. For a protest rally. About 70 of us stayed behind after rally, to chase Horgan & Trudeau around the building. They had to move their meeting rooms 3 times because we kept disrupting from outside & making a lot of noise👍

In the Republican response to Biden's address, Senator told a heart-wrenching story about a woman who was a survivor of cross-border sex trafficking, and tried to blame that horrible crime on Biden.

As it turns out, Senator Britt was lying.

If you've ever wondered to yourself:

Why the can easily fund the military, but can't seem to fund

or why we can just make more money to bail out the banks but we can't lift people out of poverty

or maybe you've wondered why we can't just print more money

I'm here to tell you, we can, but our are either ignorant of how the works or willfully using it for political gain.

You should read (or listen!) to The Myth.

AS MOST AUSTRALIANS are aware, federal politicians are paid handsomely for their work, sometimes pocketing additional allowances and enjoying unlimited expenses budgets.

The Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) is responsible for approving, collating and publishing parliamentarians’ expense claims. However, due to a ‘botched system upgrade’, there is still a massive backlog of claims not expected to be brought up-to-date until later this year.

Are you on Mastodon or the Fediverse? (well, duh? 🙂)

Are you Canadian?

Would it be great if the Canadian Parliament had its own Fediverse Server for Parliamentarians and officials to use instead of Corporate Social Media?
