“We all have each other. Find your people. Find your community.” - Scott & Mark Hoying

“For nonbinary and trans people, we’re under attack every single day. So, maybe just limit social media and try to be present for the beauty of life that’s right in front of you. It’s very hard to dwell on things you can’t control. Try to control the things you can.” - Valentina

“Trans people will always exist and we love you forever and ever. You are beautiful the way that you are. Hold onto the people who see you and love you and know you. Be with the people who get you. Don’t get sucked into your phone. You can take a break and remember that you are safe.” - Betty Who

“We get to choose our family. We can lean on each other and trust in each other in the families that we build.” - Monét X Change

Insiders say Trump “feeling” and possibly thinking something: the pettiness and stupidity will make you despair for humanity!

“And liberal or mainstream media organizations and universities should be summarily closed… ‘You’d simply declare a state of emergency in your inaugural address. You’d actually have a mandate to do this. Where would that mandate come from? It would come from basically running on it, saying, Hey, this is what we’re going to do… you can’t continue to have a Harvard or a New York Times past since perhaps the start of April.’ - Yarvin, the fascist techbro guru that other fascist techbros wanna be like

They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight…

Speaking before the new leader was announced, former prime minister Jean Chrétien said Trump had united Canadians “like never before” and jokingly called on him to receive the country’s highest honours as thanks.

Saucy Chrétien’s my favourite Chrétien.

I know you’re talking “net benefit” in terms of money, but your comment made me think. Not trying to be oppositional with mindless toxic positivity here, but I find myself really hopeful that it’ll reduce restrictions of trade between our provinces and territories, and help free us from the fuckup of NAFTA. Obviously nobody with a lick of sense and humanity wanted this, but it’s what we’ve got to deal with. So until the USA smartens up I figure we have to look for how all this disaster capitalism can possibly be siphoned to the common good.

I’m hopeful that Canada’s trade relationships with countries that are committed to improving their human rights records can be strengthened.

I’m relieved our politicians are talking about the responsibilities and trade agreements we already have with Indigenous nations up here, as well as our obligations to be better neighbours working in a better way for reconciliation.

I’m heartened that this is laying ground for Canadians to loudly claim an anti-nazi, pro multiculture, pro socialist identity, especially after all the “Canada is Broken” Russian convoy nonsense. The traitors new “Canada First” dogwhistles are gonna get amplified again real soon, so a reality reminder before the next onslaught is really helpful.

The trick will be paying less attention to the hourly USA tweetstorms and more to the big business bully boys who’ll absolutely line up to wave the maple leaf and bleed our public funds into their private purses like they did with all that covid funding (looking at Ford).

The fact that the final 3 paragraphs on this ‘news story’ are about Meghan Markel’s estranged uncles fathers dads cousin or whatever being “scathing about Meghan’s fruit platters” (seriously! click OP’s link and scroll down) should tell you everything you need to know about this media slop in your Feed.

Imagine Bryton and Tyler showing up at your workplace in the middle of a crisis to take selfies and tweet about how they fixed your problems.
