The liberation of America has begun. 🇨🇦Do not resist our free healthcare, safety for LGBT+ people, and reproductive rights, or else we will be forced to step up our efforts.

The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying. And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders. People will die.Meta will shrug.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/nwt-wildfire-emergency-update-august-16-1.6938756

I was super excited to see @FedicaHQ add @pixelfed to their list of platforms. I had one of those “aww, it’s growing up so fast!” moments. Also… dark mode pls? 🥰

@ErikUden @zeemeermin The image you posted (on the right) is most definitely not a city, and I think you know it. Please post the URL from Reuters and/or Planet Labs. Not the “I swear that’s where I got it from,” but post the actual URL. We’ll wait.

@ErikUden@amaury_h Now looking closer, I do see similar structures (notably the circular buildings). I’m sorry for my previous post, which I’ve now deleted.I do still think it’s worth us citing verifiable sources so that people (like me, clearly) who come along and only give it a passing glance can be assured of its authenticity. Even a URL to its page on the satellite site. It’s horrifying. All of it is so horrifying.

After four vandalism incidents on our house, today we’re buying a ladder to put the #Pride flag up even higher. And reposition the spotlights to even more illuminate it.Then, this time, I’m adding flashing coloured rainbow lights that will wrap around the pole.Each time you tear it down, it will come back more queer.I DON’T LOSE, BIGOTS.#lgbtq #lbgt

@futurebird Thanks - yeah we slipped notes under the doors in our neighbourhood today, asking if anyone had any good video of them from security cams.I’d love it if someone else added a Pride flag. That’s 100% what i would do

I’m sorry, can someone explain to me why the President of the United States was gloating about his plans to take over a sovereign nation…WHILE THE FUCKING HEAD OF NATO SAT THERE SIMILING?!NATO, for fuck’s sake.I will endeavour to never spend a single dime in America, for the rest of my life.

In the small city of #Nanaimo Canada alone, grocery stores are forced to dump 500 kg of American produce PER DAY. Why? Because Canadians aren’t buying ANYTHING American any more. And probably for a very long time. Well played, Trump.

Today, a nurse from Texas who visited Nanaimo because of the Infusion event, accepted a job here in #Nanaimo and is moving in a few months.Her wife, who is also a nurse, is following shortly after.Doctors, OTs, and others are also moving here. I couldn’t have even dreamed this would happen 🙂❤️

American produce once filled Canadian grocery stores.Now, item by item, we’re replacing U.S. goods with global options—sometimes local, sometimes imported, but always better.#cdnpoli #canada #usa #ustrade #tradewar #tariffshttps://youtube.com/shorts/2L_X3mZjDWs

Looking for an independent Canadian grocery store? Check out AltGrocery.ca - use the top-right pulldown menu to select your province (works best on desktop).

The U.S. this morning seized oil tankers in international waters... just south of ICELAND.Nothing to do with drugs.Nothing to do with security.Just straight-up theft.If you think the U.S. does not plan to take Greenland, Canada, and other countries (by military force if it deems it "necessary"), you are now living in a fantasy world.STOP 👏🏻 BUYING 👏🏻 AMERICAN 👏🏻 PRODUCTS(Yes, this is a real tweet from the U.S. State Department.
