#Canada declared war against #Nazi #Germany almost 2 years before the #UnitedStates.
Canada stayed out of the #Vietnam quagmire completely, and welcomed #American #DraftDodgers that couldn’t afford to pay Doctors to lie, like #Trump did.
As a *trusted* #NATO member, Canada responded to invokation of #Article5 after #September11th and fought in #Afghanistan but passed on the #WarForOil in #Iraq.
#Canada outlawed *all* #gerrymandering.

#Canada ‘punched above its weight’ in #WorldWar2. But when #Nixon wanted #Canadians to fight in #Vietnam , Pierre #Trudeau was a ‘hard no’. In fact, he welcomed #DraftDodgers to Canada! https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.3628009
After #September11th , Canadians fought and died alongside #Americans in #Afghanistan. But when George W. Bush asked Jean Crétien to send troops to #Iraq , Crétien smelled the #WMD hoax and was a ‘hard no’.
#MarkCarney is a ‘hard no’ on the #FelonsCrusade too!

apparently more than a third of #republican voters in the US are now holocaust deniers¹? and 41% think 9/11 was an inside job.
these numbers came from the trump loving, christopher rufo paying, super right wing Manhattan Institute. this is not a liberal pollster.
¹ maybe "holocaust truthers" is a more apt description but... whatever

Today, Sep 14th, is the 24th anniversary of one of the more remarkable events to take place in the days following the September 11th terrorist attacks. I like to refer to it as Barbara Lee Day. A reminder of one of the most remarkable and courageous votes in recent US political history.
"The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force" bill was passed by House and Senate a mere three days after September 11th. Of the 519 total votes cast, only Representative Lee's lone vote opposed the bill (Senate 98-0, House 420-1). A vote for which she received much negative attention in the media and also received death threats over. This is an important piece of United States history. One which calls out to us today, nearly a quarter of a century later, and forces us to take a hard look at all that has taken place in the world since September 11th and begs the question of what can we, as average citizens, do to move our country away from being a military state, and towards a focus on diplomacy and peace.
Please take a moment today to read Representative Lee's speech on the House floor or watch the video ( https://youtu.be/mvnLtMKzX6Y ) of her delivering the speech.
'Mr. Speaker, Members, I rise today really with a very heavy heart, one that is filled with sorrow for the families and the loved ones who were killed and injured this week. Only the most foolish and the most callous would not understand the grief that has really gripped our people and millions across the world. This unspeakable act on the United States has really -- really forced me, however, to rely on my moral compass, my conscience, and my God for direction.
September 11th changed the world. Our deepest fears now haunt us. Yet, I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States. This is a very complex and complicated matter.
Now this resolution will pass, although we all know that the President can wage a war even without it. However difficult this vote may be, some of us must urge the use of restraint. Our country is in a state of mourning. Some of us must say, let's step back for a moment. Let's just pause, just for a minute and think through the implications of our actions today, so that this does not spiral out of control.
Now I have agonized over this vote. But I came to grips with it today, and I came to grips with opposing this resolution during the very painful, yet very beautiful memorial service. As a member of the clergy so eloquently said, "As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore."'

State government flags in Johnson City, #Iowa were lowered on #September11th - in memory of 9/11 victims and “that we keep all victims of gun violence, including the slain Colorado students, at front of mind as we serve.”
But they were raised the next day, in defiance of the Governor’s order that they remain lowered in honor of #CharlieKirk through today (Sunday, Sept. 14th). https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jon-green-kim-reynolds-charlie-kirk_n_68c5c5c1e4b0254a6c64463a?origin=home-latest-news-unit
This is a courageous example of how to #resist the rise of #fascism to #SaveAmerica. 👏

CW: Twin Towers, 9/11, USpol, gender issues, snark, really long-ass post
There's a certain attempt at offensive humor which has been circulating for a long time now, and I've found myself thinking about it today. Please note this is me quoting the line for criticism, not endorsing it as a joke at all:
"Genders are like the Twin Towers. There used to be two of them, and now its a really sensitive subject."
As a New Yorker who grew up in the latter chunk of the 20th century, there's something that has particularly struck me about the parallel drawn in this unfunny attempt at a joke. An explanation of what I'm feeling about this requires a big chunk of of background.
It can be confusing to think about now, given what the Twin Towers have come to represent since their destruction 23 years ago, but when they were introduced New Yorkers did not like them. They were pretty generally despised among the locals.
During a period of extreme economic downturn, the New York City government had used Eminent Domain to claim the land area for the construction of the Twin Towers and the rest of the World Trade Center complex. In this way the government dissolved the existing neighborhood and forced out the area's diverse population of residents and businesses. Many of the workers and residents displaced by the WTC project were immigrants of Middle-Eastern origin and their families. Radio Row, an area concentrated with mostly immigrant-owned and operated businesses, was torn down, along with what remained of Little Syria after most of it had been eradicated a generation earlier by the construction of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. The self-labeled "center" of "world trade" came into being by forcing a whole lot of people - many poor, mostly non-white - out of work and out of their homes.
Beyond the immediate human cost, there were architectural and aesthetic concerns.
In a city full of classically-shaped and artsy skyscrapers in all sorts of imaginative shapes and styles - the glowing ziggurat spire of the Empire State Building, the regally-ornamented crown of the Chrysler Building, and so on - the Twin Towers' utilitarian plain-ass big-ass rectangles were seen by many as ugly and devoid of imagination. A common quip thrown around back then was that the two crate-like Towers were "the boxes the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings came in." In architectural terms the Twin Towers were front-runners of a still-ongoing wave of plain, dull, cheap-looking but expensive-to-rent buildings big business loves for the efficiency with which they can stuff their bullshit inside with no consideration for basic aesthetics or impact on the skyline or community.
Inside the Towers, meanwhile, while the tourist-friendly upper-level observation decks and restaurants featured huge glass portals to the highest view in town and an excuse for all those tourism-hungry government subsidies, the utilitarian working floors below were mostly oppressive spaces. I'd visited some of the non-touristy offices and working areas over the years, and I found them surprisingly gross places to be. The windows were very narrow 18-inch slits sandwiched between fat pillars, giving the place a jail-like feel for those who had to work in them. The promise of the highest views of the city possible was dashed by the fact that you had to look at it filtered through thick bars. Low ceilings on many of the floors only added to the stifling nature of the surroundings. To top it all off, or maybe bottom it all off, due to clueless engineering decisions the Towers regularly drew rapid winds down into their own central pedestrian plaza forcefully enough to make it physically uncomfortable to walk, stand, or even sit. You could walk through the WTC plaza on a calm day and get your hat blown off your head.
For all the deep and meaningful things the World Trade Center and Twin Towers incidentally came to represent upon their destruction, to people around in the Towers' generation of origin they mainly represented pure concentrated gentrification in an unavoidable form. The concept, construction, and achievement of the WTC and Twin Towers were a public monument to the fact that the privileged could bust in and do what they wanted without regard for the area's preexisting community, personality, or value in its own right. The Towers were a forced landmark in the form of two big middle fingers extended toward anyone in view who remembered things being nicer before they were around.
During their existence the Twin Towers were their era's symbol of how the loud and powerful could decide things for everyone around them at a whim just because they say so, regardless of the real impact on the lives and well-being of the thinking, feeling individuals poorly affected by the situation who never asked for any of it...
...and that's something that could also be said for the social construct of rigid binary gender.
Maybe gender *is* like the Twin Towers, in that there are a lot of loud, powerful people trying their hardest to decide what's best regardless of their ignorance of vital facts and the great deal of harm their ideas and decisions directly inflict upon a lot of vulnerable people.
Trans rights are human rights. Protect trans kids, and uplift trans adults. Address people by their preferred names and pronouns. Think things through and consider how they affect people. Work to understand the various medical and social needs folks have, especially if they're significantly unlike your own. Act with kindness and empathy, and fucking vote with them as well.

We will never forget!
Today is certainly a day that I'll never forget where I was, what I was doing and how I heard about the tragedy of 9/11. Such an unforgettable day.
I've also had the pleasure of visiting the memorials at Ground Zero, and what an experience that was.
To all of those that lost their lives and to those that had family or friends who lost their lives, WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

På denne dag mindes vi dem, der mistede livet under 11. september-angrebene, og sender den dybeste respekt og støtte til alle, der blev berørt. Deres mod og ofre vil aldrig blive glemt.

Last year I did a thread on the coup in Chili, then hitting a macabre 50th anniversary. The dream of a cybernetic future was drown in blood.
Today we're trying to revive it. The technology has vastly improved compared to the telex machines that was the backbone of the CyberSyn network.
A vision of a society without exploitation of people or nature, a world without money or war, a future where humanity can reach their full potential, it is more within our grasp than ever before.
Follow us if you want to know more: I just started a cybernetics studygroup in the Netherlands. @cibcom and @ida_zeitoekonomie are established groups in Spain and Germany. There are other groups, like on Discord, having podcasts, being in universities. We ought to come together and build that future!
