In theory we have a system of 1 person, 1 vote, but that’s not what we have in practice.
It’s as if each CAQ voter had been given 17 ballots to fill out, each Liberal voter 12, each QS voter 6, each PQ voter 1 — and each PCQ voter 0.

⚡️Ukrainian defenders of Zmiinyi Island in Black Sea, presumed dead in a Russian bombardment, are alive and held captive, according to Ukrainian navy.

On voit bcp le drapeau de l’Ukraine depuis quelques jours.
Pour les curieux: il signifie le ciel bleu au-dessus des champs de blé et de maïs, dont le pays est l’un des + importants producteurs au monde.
Apparu pour la 1ere fois en 1917, puis adopté lors de l’indépendance en 1992.

Zelensky on the Russian shelling of a kindergarten in Ukraine that killed at least one child and injured more:
"What kind of war is that? Were these children neo-Nazi? Or were they NATO soldiers?"

Social science teaches us that a factor in people's willingness to express the views they actually hold is their sense of how many others hold that view. Which is one reason street demonstrations — and coverage of them — matter. They can shift that sense.

Overwhelmed. People are going to suffer tonight, and for a long time, as superpowers use their land and lives as chess pieces to advance state power. Imperialism is an old sin with the same old consequences, no matter how much our planet ages.

Today 12 Feb is the anniversary of the death in 1994 of an incredibly courageous woman, my friend Sue Rodriguez. Sue led the fight for the right to die with dignity when she chose, and respect for the rights of people with disabilities. Honour her memory and keep up the fight❤️

OMG - over and over again "people are tired of measures; people are unhappy; people want to be heard." People, there's a pandemic. You don't like it, we don't like it, no one wanted this, grow the fuck up.
