letting family members sit in for dead senators is just monarchy logic im appalled that this has even happened before

[sugoiney-weaver]

Each state gets to decide how their state is represented in Congress

This has been a common method for a long time in some states

The idea is that a Senator's sibling/spouse/parent/child knows their intentions and policies better than a political rival or a random person would. It's a pretty good way to prevent political assassinations tbh

[prizedpesto]

An unelected individual getting grandfathered into a real political position due to their blood or legal relationship with a deceased elected official is not pretty good actually

You are allowed to completely change as a person by the way. You don’t have to stay trapped in the versions other people created of you.

First Nations chiefs across country 'blindsided' by pipeline announcements | CBC News

First Nations chiefs countrywide are expressing concern about the lack of engagement after two pipelines were announced in Alberta, B.C. and

First Nations leaders from western British Columbia to southern Ontario are expressing concern at governments' lack of consultation with them before two recent high-profile pipeline announcements. Chiefs in three provinces told CBC Indigenous there was no consultation at all before the plans were unveiled. The head of the Anishinabek Nation, which advocates for 39 communities in Ontario, is urging the province to apologize and take a step back after announcing a plan to build an oil pipeline from Hardisty, Alta., to Sarnia, Ont. "It was blindsiding, but at the same time it's not surprising considering the behaviour of both levels of government," said Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige.

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

#yeah ive been reading transformative/restorative justice stuff lately and some ppl Do Not Understand the difference#asking ppl to forgive their abusers is not restorative justice and anyone who thinks it is needs to shut up forever thanks

There's a Norwegian documentary, Norges Farligste, which goes through (nowhere near perfect, not above criticism) attempts at restorative/reformative justice in the country's prison system.

It provides some interesting insights into what attempts at restorative justice can even look like when, for example, you've got a guy who tried to murder his dad with a hammer to the back of the head, but has now been in years of therapy during his sentence and is going to meet his dad for an attempt at reconciliation. Because the victim asked to do so. Because stuff like this is complicated in real life.

‘Dumpster fire’: Postmedia’s decade of pushing Canada’s politics to the right

Canada’s largest newspaper chain has amplified conservative grievance politics — creating fertile ground for MAGA-style ideas, Alberta separ

More than half of Canadian daily newspapers are owned by Postmedia, giving the MAGA-aligned newspaper chain enormous influence over the flow of information and how current events are perceived across the country.  In addition to its explicitly Conservative flagship national newspaper, the National Post, Postmedia has a monopoly on major daily newspapers in Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Saskatoon and Regina, in addition to owning the Toronto Sun and Montreal Gazette.  “In the last 10 years, they’ve been imposing an ever further right-wing agenda on their newspapers,” Marc Edge, author of the Postmedia Effect: How Vulture Capitalism Is Wrecking Our News, told Ricochet.

Fire-ravaged First Nations community accuses Ottawa of denying it federal aid

OTTAWA — A small First Nations community in Ontario that was burned to the ground by a raging wildfire on Monday is being deprived of the he

A small First Nations community in Ontario that was burned to the ground by a raging wildfire on Monday is being deprived of the help it needs because the federal government doesn't recognize it as a First Nation, the community's lawyer says. And its chief says she didn't hear anything from Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty for nearly a week after the fire broke out. Residents of Collins First Nation, a remote community without road access more than 200 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, were forced to self-evacuate earlier this week in advance of fast-moving fires.

The Last Unicorn really said “There will be times when you can’t find other people like you and there will be times where you'll wonder if you're really the only person experiencing the world as you are and others will even try to take advantage of you through commodification and exploitation to the point where it starts to dilute your own sense of self and will make you question if you were ever you to begin with but it’s important for to resist the urge to assimilate and find community because there will always be people like you who will understand and have experienced these same things and the only way to combat a dark world who wants to smother your light is to FIGHT FIGHT RAGE AGAINST THE RED BULL DO NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT OCEAN.”

And I just think there’s something beautifully and inextricably queer about that
