@Wipqozn Apparently the shooter plead "Not Guilty" at his arraignment, not because he claims he didn't kill them, but because he sees the black people he killed as sub-human due to GOP and FOX propaganda

@Nzall I mean, he's not wrong about how the GOP and Fox try to portray POC

From Poilievre's banking pledges to absent climate talk, former PM Campbell questions direction of Conservative Party ctvnews.ca/politics/…

> "I'm sorry, if you're not worried about climate change, and you're not worried about resurgent authoritarianism, and you're not a champion of the rights of women to make the contributions they need to make in society, I’m not interested,” she said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday

> She succeeded Brian Mulroney as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1993 and went on to become the first female prime minister of Canada

> The former leader also weighed in on Pierre Poilievre’s attacks on the Bank of Canada, and specifically comments that Governor Tiff Macklem should be fired for failing to manage soaring inflation.

> "Yeah, he should have predicted you know, the disruptions of the COVID supply chains and the war in Ukraine, right? Yeah. Get rid of the dude, he's not consulting his tarot cards. Grow up,” she said.

Oh Campbell, I don't agree with all your policies, but I've always liked you

Perfect example of just how absurd the political right has become too

@Nzall apparently Tucker Carlson is pushing the White Replacement Theory as a defence for the piece of shit

> Biden should sign an executive order banning Fox News in USA on Monday morning. It’s not free speech, its a weapon and other saner countries have already banned Fox News and guess what, they’re not dealing with mass shootings tonight. @FoxNews

or maybe it's being used as the reason this guy attacked

i am expecting Tucker Carlson to try and twist this into blaming "them" for this because "they" want you to stay angry

New York authorities on Sunday were investigating how a white 18-year-old, who the governor said had been on the radar of authorities since high school, was able to shoot 10 people to death in a Black neighborhood grocery store. reuters.com/world/us/…

> A 180-page manifesto circulating online on Saturday, believed to have been authored by Gendron, outlined "The Great Replacement Theory" - a racist conspiracy theory that white people are being replaced by minorities in the United States and other countries.

He also streamed it on twitch. Holy hell.

@Memor-X Unfortunately, the 1st Amendment prevents this

Another mass shooting has already occurred in the US reuters.com/world/us/…

well, on a disturbing brighter side you know that the US is back to normal after the pandemic

Banning news is... a slippery slope.

yeh. best way to get rid of a news network is to follow OAN

The US has so many mass shootings because we have a really, really awful gun culture.

have 90% of your funding come from one source and then have that source taken away

Other countries, even with a higher rate of gun ownership, treat guns with respect. We (Americans) just don't.

And I say that as a gun owner myself.
