The only thing white settlers liberated was their ability to own everything else. Liberty for them was always a zero-sum fantasy.
And then came the Civil Rights era. The great audition for redemption. White #liberals marched, patted themselves on their back, then bought a second home in a Black-free zip code. Progress? Nope, just a facelift on a corpse.
Now in the twilight of #Empire, the mall has become the cathedral. Ritual replaced by retail. Healing replaced by hashtags.
The #NDP should be saying they'll support the #Liberals if and only if the next election takes place under #proportionalrepresentation but they appear more concerned about their bruised egos.

The LNP has a candidate problem cont:
“The #LiberalParty plans to take the #BoroondaraCityCouncil to court to stop it from removing the signs of #Kooyong candidate #AmeliaHamer, the second sign-related squabble to erupt in the affluent Melbourne seat.
The #escalation comes after a #worker from the council, which the #Liberals say is friendly to #independent MP #MoniqueRyan, was filmed confiscating a Liberals sign reading "Monique, please DO NOT take this sign!".”

The caretaker #PM appearing on the #HateMedia (ABC Press club as defined by ), something I can’t remember #PeterDutton doing or being capable of.
“Through everything the world has thrown at #Australia over the last three years, for all the #challenges our #nation has faced, our #government has held true to those enduring Australian #values of #fairness, #aspiration and #opportunity.
It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the #ScottMorrison (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My #colleagues and I know there is more work to do. That is what #drives us.” — #AnthonyAlbanese
Half the battle is attendance.
Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is #Policy to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.

Can Any Political Party Be Happy With the Election Results?
It is the day after the federal election and we take stock of what we know at this point - and what may have gone wrong for some.

Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore and Vaughan-Woodbidge, ridings with large Italian communities, both flipped from red to blue.
Fucking Ontario Italians!
(Full disclosure: I'm Italian)
Seeking to fulfill his campaign promises, #Trump is moving full steam ahead with a multilayered #detention expansion plan, which, if realized, will triple #ICE #incarceration capacity, enabling it to detain an additional 84,000 people at any given time.
Goodbye #JagmeetSingh, you proved to be no ally to Canadian workers or to the many groups abandoned by the Liberals and Conservatives.
"The #Liberals openly govern for the wealthy and connected, making no serious pretense of serving ordinary people.
The Bloc, at least, makes no bones about putting Quebec first. Singh, by pretending to fight for working people while helping the Liberals maintain power, manages to be even more contemptible."

The system isn’t broken. It’s functioning exactly as intended: to consolidate #wealth into fewer & fewer hands while keeping the #workingclass exhausted, too tired to fight back, & taught to blame themselves. #Capitalism
#TakeItDownAct is a total censorial mess. Yet, a ton of " #progressive" #Dems are supporting it, even as it will enable the highly politicized & weaponized #FTC to go after websites & demand content be removed from the #internet.

Make no mistake, #Liberals - we voted for you to stop the Conservatives, not because we necessarily believe in you, Banker Jesus or your mandate.

#Liberals Win, waiting for final results to see if it's a majority government.
#Poilivre loses his seat in Carlton, ON!
#NDP face total collapse!
Meanwhile in Canada, the Liberal Party is projected to win the federal election after Trump endorsed Poilievre and the Conservatives.
In a nutshell, Canadian voters just told Trump to fuck off. Their democracy stands strong.
Mark Carney projected to win the seat for his riding.
