We gasp for air among people who believe they are absolutely right, whether it be in their machines or their ideas. And for all who cannot live without dialogue and the friendship of other human beings, this silence is the end of the world. #AlbertCamus

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.

The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets β€” more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

During Trump's speech at the Congressional Institute he boasted that The SAVE ACT would help ensure one party rule for Republicans. He also oddly referred to a girl older than six-years-old as 'of age.'

It’s truly disgusting how far this family’s greed and depravity can go. When will it end? When will they all be brought to justice for their innumerable crimes?

…corporations and the wealthy minority at their helm, the victims of hate, misogyny, racism, colonial exploitation, war profiteering and greed. How about we start being the custodians of such as these @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu Europe/ the world need leadership that stands for true values!

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu May I humbly suggest something? Europe should be the custodian of:
the innocents of the earth wherever they may be. The poor, the children subjected to suffering and the horrors of war, all living beings whose environments we destroy so as to increase the wealth of…

Graham: You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We’re marching through the world. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.

Many don’t even consider how innocents will suffer pain, personal and generational trauma, hunger, mental health consequences, societal and economic repercussions and death. We continue blind and oblivious and as if things go on as usual until the effects are felt by we the entitled of the earth!

Ford floats idea of filling in parts of Lake Ontario to create land for sprawling new convention centre Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s exploring the idea of filling in part of Lake Ontario to add land for a new convention centre site at the Toronto waterfront.

#DougFord will tear apart anything and everything, at any cost to taxpayers, to build for the elite and wealthiest.

There is no cost too great to the #Ontario taxpayers including the most important commodity Canada has… #water.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

β€œPheum!” What a despicable, vile man child! And may I point out that those school children and their teachers were little girls and women. This is targeted femicide and a war crime!

Thanks for pointing this out. If so accurate, then he and his murderous administration are war criminals.

Weren’t we β€œelbows up”? Why are we appeasing a criminal president, a corrupt administration, and the genocidal maniacs who are pulling his strings at the expense of human lives? What’s the long game in the Middle East? Have we forgotten their threats to Greenland or to Canada (51st state nonsense)?

How incredibly vague! Honestly, brother, how is Canada supporting the USA in stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons when the means it’s using to allegedly do so is by starting an illegal war which will cause untold suffering to civilians? CUSMA? Long game? At what cost? For whose profit?

I appreciate the correction, my friend. Thank you! And yes, why is our government supporting these monstrous genocidal sociopaths!?!? Our government, which is supposed to be accountable to the people who elected it and not to foreign influence, is certainly NOT representing our values.

Our PM, @mark-carney.bsky.social, has made a statement in which he has stated his support for the illegal and unjustified military incursion into Iran by Israel and the US. Why are we Canadians supporting these two criminal governments and the monsters that lead them?

…There is no credible short or long term positive outcome for the people of Iran whose suffering, sadly,will worsen. Very saddened, disappointed and disillusioned by a man I voted for and who I thought represented Canadians as a peace loving nation! Prime Minister, you have lost my support. 2/2

Your statement is profoundly disappointing for numerous reasons. You have chosen to condone,rather than condemn, this illegal and morally bankrupt military incursion based on lies and self serving greed, hunger for hegemonic power, false pretences, and corrupt foreign influence…1/2

The captain of my favourite team just shook hands and laughed along with a pedophile president who has single-handedly destroyed Canada's relationship with the U.S., on the same day that more evidence came out showing Trump raped a child. Not sure where the fanbase goes from here.

Kinda amazing that Trump shits on Canada and Mexico every day, and there's the Mexican-American captain of Canada's Toronto Maple Leafs, Auston Matthews, standing behind him as he defiles an Olympic Gold Medal

He hates your mother and your fans Auston Matthews but - you do you: be a collaborator

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?
