Regular reminder that when the time comes, they will be the ones arresting everyone for being queer, trans, disabled, a scientist, for just speaking out, etc.

They’re not here to keep you safe, they exist to protect property and power.

Cops are not and will never be safe. They shouldn’t be welcomed or trusted. Ever. Even the gay ones. Even your cousin. Even a woman cop.

This is an image of a line of a few dozen Chicago police officers in riot gear standing outside of and protecting a Tesla dealership.

r/buycanadian has managed to inspire the creation of other subreddits (I saw one for Europe too). I was wondering if anyone has made one for the us, but specifically something like “buyblue” (not something like buyAmerican, because I think that would spread the wrong message). If one exists, can you post it in here? I think we (I’m referring to myself and other Americans), should be following the Canadians by example a lot more. Idk, I just think having a subreddit specifically focused on it would make it a lot easier for people to boycott Trump supporting businesses, since everything would be all in one place. Also it would be a good way to promote businesses who share our ideals, especially smaller businesses. 💕

This is a repost of my old thread (I deleted and changed the title, thanks to a suggestion 💕)

EDIT: r/progressivedirectory, please give them your support, and help them grow!!!

Some of my US friends might have seen that Al Jazeera recently published an opinion piece by Tim Constantine, a Republican strategist, titled “America needs Donald Trump right now. Here’s why”.

Look, I obviously support a free press and the right to express an opinion. But I also think, particularly now, that the media has a range of choices to make about whose voice it promotes. Opinion pieces are relevant and meaningful when there are nuanced debates to be had or multiple sides of an argument to be explored. I don’t think anyone should be seriously contemplating another “side” to Trump’s actions. I have written to Al Jazeera to tell them my thoughts. You may wish to as well.

In solidarity, from Australia.

Mark Carney has been elected in Canada as the Liberal Party Leader, and therefore, will be the new Prime Minister within the week, after transitioning from Justin Trudeau.

A general election will be held anytime before this October vs the Conservation Party as the leading competition in the multi-party system.

Carney is the former President of the Bank of Canada, and former President of he Bank of England, amongst other high level responsibilities. He knows economics.
