@JessTheUnstill

I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.

California is pondering a 1-time 5% tax on families worth us$1.1b. 60% of NY residents (not just NYC) favour free, universal childcare until pre-K, with an explicit tax on the rich to fund it.

So, I want wayyy more, to end the 1%.

Yeah, signing such a thing, and making it public, may end up helping them in the long run, to avoid a charge of treason.

Honoured to have the endorsement of CUPE Ontario, which represents 300,000 workers — 40% of the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ total membership.

I stand with their heroic members as they educate, care for us, and keep the province running every day — and fight to protect our precious public systems from privatization and underfunding.

Their full statement of support can be found here: cupe.on.ca/cupe-ontario-has-en

A graphic with a text box over a photo of Avi Lewis marching with CUPE Ontario. The quote in the text box is from CUPE Ontario and says: "The Lewis campaign reflects long-standing demands from [CUPE Ontario] members... With Avi Lewis as leader, we believe the NDP can deepen its connection with workers and communities, and build the broad coalition needed to deliver real change."

@r.gilmore

It's time: natural consequences of people (not just Boomers & GenX) who don't talk about religion and politics.

People who say that usually have something to hide and are used to being able to attend family functions and not get challenged about, say, having been an "Indian Agent" (sic) in the 1960s. And if they sent any kids to be murdered at residential "schools" (sic).

A cartoon of Pepe the Frog, a Nazi, in a guillotine and when asked, "any last words?" replies with, "so much for the tolerant left." Then his head gets dropped off. Poor fucker.A cartoon image of Indiana Jones punching a Nazi. I can't find the original, so I don't know if it was AI generated.

This is how we defeat fascism, with or without

The civil war has already started. We're already losing. What are we waiting for, a declaration of war or secession? The fascists STARTED THE WAR on their enemies months ago. goes both ways. .

"An ambitious and comprehensive blueprint for labour and employment law reform that is forward-looking and unapologetically pro‑worker... Lewis’s plan stands out amid NDP leadership pitches for squarely centring economic democracy.” 

Thanks to Adam King for this comprehensive review of our plan for jobs and AI in The Maple.
