Unbelievable. 2400 oil, gas and coal lobbyists here at #cop28. 400% increase. And we wonder why we can’t get strong agreements that constrain fossil fuels responsible for rise in extreme weather, floods, fires, droughts? Stop negotiating with them and start regulating them.

America’s medical debt is $88B, while the top five pharmaceutical companies brought in $80B in profit last year alone.
The institutionalized greed of insurance and pharmaceutical companies is an economic plague on this country.
We need single-payer universal healthcare, and nothing less.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

Before you believe Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party suddenly supports First Nations Peoples. Ask yourself why they oppose UNDRIP: short answer they believe Indigenous rights are an impediment to their commitment to resource extraction.

I think the Queen would want us all to live the way she did, with free public housing, basic universal income, and full government health care.

After a mass shooting left 51 dead in 2019, New Zealand sprang to action, quickly banning most semi-automatic weapons and launching a buyback scheme.
Jacinda Ardern, the country’s prime minister, said the response was “pragmatic.”

I’d like to cancel my subscription to 2022. I’ve experienced the 14 day free trial and I’m not interested anymore.

A 22-month investigation found that prosecutors, the FBI and the NYPD had withheld evidence that, had it been turned over, would likely have led to the acquittal of Muhammad A. Aziz and Khalil Islam. The men spent decades in prison for the 1965 murder. nyti.ms/3owdKUw

The actions of RCMP have put the court's reputation at risk. Such clear, strong and brave words from the BC Supreme Court. RCMP illegal acts undermined the rule of law. NO more injunction against forest protectors! #FairyCreek #oldgrowth #wonderfulnews #justice #GPC

Canada was always for sale and the millionaire migrant program was always a joke. No required investment in new businesses, just an invitation to buy luxury real estate and consume services while paying no taxes.
After taking 5 YEARS (!!) to answer my freedom-of-info request, @CanRevAgency has released a secret study confirming millionaire migrants made 90% of lux home purchases in two Metro Vancouver municipalities while declaring refugee-level incomes 2/ scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

BREAKING: Governor Greg Abbott is hit with a HUGE lawsuit from parents of disabled Texan kids over his ban on school mask mandates, who accuse him of violating discrimination laws by making it too dangerous for disabled students to return to school. RT IF YOU SUPPORT THEIR SUIT!

Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 15 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels.
We have the solutions, let's speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate
