The White House Easter Egg Roll is sponsored by Amazon, Google, and Meta — who are all being sued by the federal government for antitrust violations. It's the first time the event has had corporate sponsors. Everything is for sale under Trump — and Big Tech wants to cash in.

This is both funny and true. Ferris Bueller's Day Off knew this decades ago. Implementing tariffs will decrease consumer spending even more than it is now. 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' Tariffs Scene Hits Hard After Trump Win youtube.com/shorts/MckCZ...

You can't be anti-racist and pro-Israel; they are mutually contradictory positions. Israel is an apartheid state, arguably the most racist society on this planet. If you support Israel you support racism, whether you admit this about yourself or not.

If you have not spent the past 14 months watching all the footage of dead and mutilated children coming out of Gaza, then you have no business trying to defend Israel and its actions. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/either-wat...

“This study adds to a growing body of research that suggests that even the hardest to serve in our communities can be successfully housed and that housing with supportive services not only leads to better outcomes for individuals BUT IS CHEAPER FOR THE COMMUNITY.” www.fastcompany.com/3028384/hous...

President Putin: "How many times has the United States been the initiator of armed conflicts in different regions of the world? Has it solved any problems anywhere?"

Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon. A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins. This is not “self-defense”. This is a war crime and a crime against history.

Homelessness in western democracies is a choice. We have enough to provide shelter for everyone.

That's Late Stage Capitalism. Wealth inequality is accelerating. It's a trend that's not going to reverse without huge changes.

Danielle Smith has already got the ball rolling with blaming Trudeau for what's about to happen with Tariffs. Here's an easy to understand video explaining what Tariff's are and how they work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCNV... #Tariffs #Canada #cdnpoli #abpoli

Liberals will be like, "stop 'purity testing'! We're both on the same side." Then why are you way up and over there on the right, "comrade"? #SocialistSunday

Like I have said, it's not vote splitting on the Left. Conservatives win because Liberals vote Conservative. Mulroney, Harper, Doug Ford, Tim Houston... Next Pierre?

It is in your self interest for us to house homeless people, for your cashier to earn a living wage, for injured workers to get the financial support they need, for disabled people not to live in poverty and for welfare to cover basic needs and some luxuries. #CanLab

To further beat a dead horse, someone now paying the '22 median of $3151 in AB would pay $3387 in 2024, then $3641 in 2026. That's *$490 MORE* for ONE PERSON, w/ the goal of MAYBE saving *up to* $400 starting in 2027. Alberta's UCP: helping big corporations screw you over since 2019 😡. 1/2 #ableg

She was known as "America's Sweetheart" but Mary Pickford was proudly Canadian. Born in Toronto, her fame was second only to Charlie Chaplin during the Silent Film Era. She was also a trailblazer in many ways in Hollywood. Let's learn more about her :) 🧵1/18

Interesting analysis on Canadian politics. youtu.be/CXoaLw66rPM?...

Looking again now at the 2021 election analysis, the Conservatives are nearly as far right and more authoritarian than the PPC. Squarely fascist territory. Fascists in control at home, with fascists to the south of us, will harm millions in Canada. They will gorge on us all, by my metaphor.

A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite care—it makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers.

For over a year, the Biden admin has been pretending to be working for a ceasefire & for increasing humanitarian aid in Gaza, all while arming & supporting Israel's genocide there. In their closing days, they are no longer pretending. May this monstrosity haunt them forever.

The US has vetoed a Gaza ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council for a fifth time. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/w...

How equity capital, and cost cutting ruined an iconic Canadian brand. This is a great little documentary about the downfall of the Tim Hortons brand. youtu.be/DQ58noGoBm4?...

Liberals love to accuse socialists of being dogmatic and too rigid in our thinking. In reality, socialists like me have often supported Social Democrats despite the NDP being a liberal and capitalist party. But we have not been able to reliably count on Liberals to do so against the Conservatives.
