Kindness is Punk

This is the wrong answer, I’d rather lose the US then have the rich pay less tax.

Please, please stop capitulating to Trump it will never be enough.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, capitulating to Trump is a lost cause. it will never be enough, ignore the US and move on. They’re no longer allies until the fascism is stamped out of them.

Don’t judge my hobbies!

Used to? Baby if you being the Dominoes, this could be us in 20 minutes.

The party has clearly shifted right under Carney, but conflating them with the Conservatives isn’t just inaccurate, it’s dangerous. Yes, there’s overlap on some issues, but the Conservatives are far more extreme. We’ve seen what happens when we treat two parties as the same despite glaring differences: it only helps the worst actors.

What we need now is relentless pressure for left-wing policies and holding our politicians accountable.

I replied to the wrong person, my apologies.

I’m just trying to trick people into reading the article, just cut out the fluff, but you’re right ‘plainclothes federal agents’ are modern day Gestapo and not something I thought would exist in the modern day.

TLDR:

Andrea Velez, a U.S. citizen and Cal Poly Pomona graduate, was violently detained by plainclothes federal agents in downtown Los Angeles while heading to work. Witnesses say officers in unmarked cars, without ID, tackled her without checking identification. Her family believes she was targeted due to her Hispanic appearance and fears retaliation, as her mother is a non-citizen resident. LAPD claimed they responded to a “kidnapping” call but later admitted it was an immigration operation. Velez’s whereabouts remain unknown, sparking outrage over racial profiling and unchecked enforcement.

What will it take for the average person to care. Much less politicians.

They aren’t pro-life, they’re pro-birth.

Yup, that’s what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!

Do both, so they know why they lost.

Wasn’t my intention to imply that it was only for them, simply that it is an effective tool in fighting our widening poverty crisis. Nevertheless, I agree with your sentiment, It would be better if everyone considered public transit and bicycle a legitimate transportation solution.

Montreal recently expanded their REM network of passenger trains, it runs often and it’s extensive. I wish more places would follow suit. Biking is actually my favorite way to get around too especially when there’s properly protected bike lanes.

Doug Ford making a shortsighted move to benefit private industry? Shocker. If the way we recycle the packaging isn’t working we’re left with two options, force a change of packaging or invest in new ways to recycle. Saying “fuck it, it’s too costly” is what got us in this mess.

That’s great news! I wish you would also see an increase in spending for public transit from cities. It’s one of the cheapest ways you can help your most vulnerable while fighting climate change.

Let’s be real: Yes, the Democrats ran a historically tone-deaf campaign. But Trump’s entire economic pitch boils down to ‘Just believe me, folks! The same empty promise he made before leaving office with record job losses, broken supply chains, and an economy in freefall. I get what your saying I just have trouble believing voters are this desperate to blame ‘wokeism’ that they’ll ignore:

• The $7.8 trillion he added to the debt?
• The 3 million jobs lost under his watch?
• The fact his ‘miracle economy’ was a sugar rush of tax cuts for billionaires?

It’s a death wish for the middle class.

God damn, Liberals you have an open goal here. Side with workers just once, throw your weight behind a real labor movement, and you’d leave Conservatives scrambling in the dust. But no. Instead, it’s all half-measures while letting corporations run the show. Missed opportunities are practically your brand at this point.

ahh very good, sorry for the misunderstanding.

oh I know they’re not the first ones to get it but I do believe they’re the first ones to put the legal precedent or at least that’s what the article says.

TLDR: New Orleans is poised to become the first U.S. city to legalize real-time police facial recognition surveillance, despite a 2022 ban. The push follows revelations that NOPD secretly used Project NOLA’s 200+ AI cameras for two years, making 34+ arrests without oversight. Proponents argue it’s vital for crime-fighting, citing Bourbon Street shootings and jailbreaks, while critics warn of dystopian privacy erosion and racial bias, referencing wrongful arrests like Randal Reid’s. With 70% public approval but fierce ACLU opposition, the vote could set a dangerous precedent: privatized mass surveillance with zero accountability.
