Love to see it. ❤️

Do Americans even know that the Israeli government is extremely right wing and essentially hijacked by an ultra-religious group who's a minority of the population that hates Muslims and Arabs, or are they too excited to stop suppressing their antisemitism that literally anything they disagree with that Israel does they just go "it's a Jew thing to be doing this" instead of "it's an 'extremely right wing government that has essentially been hijacked by an ultra-religious group who's a minority of the population and hates Muslims and Arabs' thing" ?

Because seeing some people say they're never voting for Biden again when the alternative is an American version of an extremely right wing government that has essentially been hijacked by an ultra-religious group who's a minority of the population and hates Muslims and Arabs tells me that Americans don't know. Also, you know, everything else about everything else tells me that too

The far right have started serious riots in Dublin in response to a stabbing by an immigrant.

I don’t even need to go into how him being an immigrant is fucking irrelevant, and making this about your fascist opinions is taking away the attention from the actual victims. You guys are smarter than to fall for that.

Gangs of white Irish men are destroying the city; setting cars, buses, and shops on fire. They’re posting videos of them laughing as they smash out the windows of buses and shops and loot the place.

This is the right wing’s politics. “Immigrants are destroying Dublin”… says the people actively smashing the place to bits.

Please stay inside if you live in the centre. Especially for immigrants/ people of colour/ trans people / queer people/ any group that white supremacists target.

That’s Neo-Nazi billionaire Harlan Crow standing to the right of Ted Cruz. Crow is the top founder and primary director of the Federalist Society that selects far-right Republican judges. He is also the oligarch that selected Thomas and heaped millions of dollars in gifts to him. Crow sent his private jet to DC to pick up Cruz and SCOTUS justice Clarence Thomas and bring them to Crow’s Texas mansion to swear in Ho. The ceremony took place in Crow’s library alongside his autographed copy of Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf. Just outside is his dictator garden with larger than life statues of Crow’s favorite dictators throughout history. Crow’s brother Trammel, who is under indictment for child sex trafficking, was just outside the photo. It must be nice to be able to summon Justices, federal judges, and US Senator’s at will. This is a glaring example of how oligarchs literally control a political party and the judiciary.

Canada is in deep crisis. It’s unfashionable in centrist circles to say so, but it’s true. The country is literally on fire and facing extraordinary and growing threats from climate change. It is staring down rising extremism, creeping toxic polarization, and low trust. Wealth inequality is on the rise. Its federal system is showing cracks, particularly when it comes to the relationship between Alberta and the national government. Oligopolies and monopolies run wild, exploiting consumers.

There are plenty of other problems too. But of the lot, the confluence of a few major challenges scream, House of cards coming down! Those are the country’s housing crisis, consumer debt, and high — and potentially rising — interest rates. Taken together, they paint a picture of working people staring down lives they can’t afford in the day-to-day. This hellish scenario persists, no matter how hard people work, and no matter how rigidly they follow the rules of the game — rules they were told are fair and just.
