@TonyStark @mmalc That’s how #DougFord, #Con premier of Ontario Canada, was given a majority government. 18% voted for him, 57% chose not to vote at all. So the #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada was born. #VoterApathy #Misinformation #Disinformation #Vulgarity and #SlanderousRhetoric are the tools of trade of our Conservative Party. Their leader #PierrePoilievre has rightly earned the moniker #MapleMAGA. And our american-owned #CdnMedia fiddles.

#Trump’s campaign against #Harris, the sitting VP, featured a torrent of attacks steeped in #sexism, #SexualViolence & #vulgarity.

Harris’s loss is disheartening enough, but for the country to elect someone who has made his #disrespect for #women clear is basically kicking you when you’re already down.

Surveys conducted before the election pointed to a wide — & perhaps historic — gender gap in the support for the two candidates, w/most women supporting Harris & most men supporting Trump.

Continued thread

“VP #Harris is fighting to make sure Americans can get ahead and be safe from #GunViolence & to restore & protect the #RightsOfWomen. #Trump, on the other hand, could enact the #extreme & #dangerous #Project2025 agenda if elected, which would roll back our #rights & #freedoms.

“We can choose a #future for our #children & grandchildren based on #decency, #respect & #morality — or succumb to the #crudeness & #vulgarity of Trump & #JDVance & the #FarRight agenda they would champion.

A quotation from Martin, Judith:

"#Utah #bans the #bible" is the headline everyone was waiting for.

"The district officially decided to remove the #religious text from elementary and middle #school #libraries for containing "#vulgarity or #violence." The #ban will take effect immediately, with #Bibles being removed from #classrooms even as they close down for the summer."
