Too many americans still don't understand the long term impact of this administration. Everything isn't just gonna "go back to normal" if dems win the next presidential election The entire world isnt only judging this administration, they're judging the entire political system for not stopping it

People talk about "Dead Internet Theory" but nobody wants to pay attention to "Wuss Internet Theory", whereby everyone bitches and moans about censorship but never lifts a finger to change their habits. You're all addicted to the tit of surveillance capitalism.

PATRONS OF LOST OR IMPOSSIBLE CAUSES (too many good ones to pick!) ST. JUDE THADDEUS (also hospitals and healthcare workers) ST. PHILOMENA (also children, prisoners, people in poverty, and the physically or mentally ill) ST. RITA OF CASCIA (also abuse survivors, especially women)

Eyes, teeth, mental health and medicine: they’re all part of our health! They should all be part of our universal public health care system.

But that’s the bare minimum. Canadians deserve more than just halting the enshittification of healthcare: we have to win the battle we’ve been fighting since 1962 and deliver head-to-toe health care for all.

replies to this one are full of men planting their feet in a proud power stance, putting their hands on their hips, pissing all down both pant legs, and rattling off all the reasons it’s actually right and masculine to be afraid

i think men should just admit ‘i don’t do anything in these situations because im scared for myself.’ that’s the reality. everyone knows it. nobody is buying this jack reacher act you guys all put on for each other

I don’t know man, I know it’s corny as fuck, but maybe that’s the answer sometimes. Tell people that they matter. I’ve been haunted by the ghosts of loved ones I never said all those words to, all our last goodbyes, my entire life and it never goes away. Say it while you can.

There has been a lot of loss lately, not just celebrities. Friends and comrades and peers and so many people are gone, and more than anything I hope this serves as a reminder to tell people that we love them while we can. Tell people we admire them. That what they do matters.
