fucken goof— Petition to Repeal DRIPA is Approved Elections BC has approved an initiative petition application from Langley-Abbotsford MLA Harman Bhangu seeking to repeal the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The move lets Bhangu try to force a province-wide vote on the legislation after two earlier attempts to kill it through the legislature both failed. DRIPA became law in 2019 under the Horgan government, making British Columbia the first jurisdiction in Canada to write the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into provincial statute. It was framed at the time as a reconciliation milestone. It has since become one of the most contested pieces of legislation in the province, especially after a December 2025 BC Court of Appeal ruling over mineral claims found the declaration should be read as incorporating UNDRIP into law immediately. Business groups and BC Conservative politicians treated that ruling as proof the act had teeth they hadn't accounted for, and pressure built through the spring for the Eby government to suspend parts of it. First Nations leadership warned that any attempt to amend or suspend DRIPA without consent would be met with legal action, and the government eventually backed away from a full suspension. Bhangu's initiative petition is the third attempt by a BC Conservative-aligned MLA to kill DRIPA in the past year. Dallas Brodie introduced the Property Rights Protection Act in October 2025, and Jordan Kealy brought forward the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Statute Repeal Act the following month. Neither survived First Reading. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak publicly praised the legislature for voting both bills down, calling them harmful. Having failed twice at the legislative level, Bhangu is now taking the fight around the legislature entirely. The Recall and Initiative Act lets any registered BC voter apply to have a petition issued to gather public support for a legislative proposal. If the Chief Electoral Officer finds the application clear, unambiguous, and within provincial jurisdiction, the petition gets approved in principle and issued to the proponent, who then has 90 days to collect signatures from at least 10 percent of registered voters in every one of BC's 87 electoral districts. Meeting that threshold in even a handful of ridings is difficult. Meeting it in all 87 has happened only once in the history of the Act, with the 2010 petition to end the HST. Bhangu has spent much of 2026 building a public profile around grievance politics, from BC Ferries service cuts to dental care access, and he announced a run for the BC Conservative leadership in February. Framing the DRIPA repeal as a citizen petition rather than another failed bill gives him a vehicle to keep the issue in front of voters through the signature-gathering period, regardless of whether the threshold is ever met. Given the timing of this application the question also arises if this is just a strategy to distract from the problems in the BC Conservative party.

BREAKING🚨 Chicago just became the FIRST city in the country to CUT OFF city funding for those helping ICE, committing wage theft, or discriminating. Mayor Brandon Johnson signed the sweeping executive order Wednesday, citing an "unprecedented level of corporate corruption." Chicago currently holds $3.19 billion in contracts with 42 companies that also do business with ICE, according to research from the national campaign that pushed for the order. The single biggest is with AECOM, the infrastructure consultant overseeing the modernization of O'Hare. Every current and future contractor and subcontractor now has to certify it hasn't committed a "public integrity violation" in the past five years and doesn't intend to for the length of the contract. City code already bars contractors convicted of theft, deceit, hate crimes, perjury or treason, but only after a courtroom conviction. The new order counts a finding by an inspector general or an auditor too. Companies also have to disclose any allegations of excessive force, unlawful detention, unconstitutional policing or discrimination connected to their government contracts. Those disclosures become public, and they can trigger action against the company. Johnson's team named Palantir. The data company profits from ICE contracts and the war in Gaza, and it is among the corporations footing the bill for Trump's ballroom under construction at the White House. "We're recognizing that these companies may be engaging in corrupt activities, but for a variety of reasons may not be subject to criminal penalties. Nonetheless, we don't want them doing business with the city of Chicago," said Sheila Bedi, Johnson's chief strategy officer. The order creates a 12-member Ethical Procurement Standards Task Force and requires companies making more than $1 billion a year to disclose the makeup of their leadership and boards, after the federal EEOC signaled it could stop requiring demographic data at all. Every company also has to report what it's doing to hire and promote formerly incarcerated people. If you appreciate my posts, it would mean the world if you followed my page.

Black magic doesn’t work on everyone. You can’t manipulate someone else’s life when they hold a certain spiritual rank. The intention for harm simply reflects right back to sender, & the energy boost you’ve sent them is metabolized to facilitate their evolution while you’re still down bad. Lol. They’re sending negative energy towards your downfall, not realizing that all that negative energy is just leveling you up. The Chosen are unfazed by the wicked ways of the world.

Political opponents thought Hitler was a buffoon. They called him an uncultured agitator and believed he was incompetent. Conservative elites thought they could use him. Franz von Papen famously believed Hitler could be boxed in after becoming chancellor. They thought the existing institutions would contain him. Instead, Hitler used the authority they handed him to dismantle the restraints they thought would control him. The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended fundamental civil liberties. The Enabling Act allowed his government to legislate without parliament. Within months, the people who thought they were bringing Hitler inside the system had given him the tools to destroy it. Most of these people did not live long enough to publicly express remorse for underestimating him. Emperor Claudius had a stutter and a lame foot. His own family treated him like an embarrassment. When Caligula was assassinated, ancient accounts described Claudius being found hiding behind a curtain. The Praetorian Guard proclaimed him emperor, and many assumed he would be weak and easy to manipulate. That perception followed him directly into power. The political class thought his physical disabilities, awkwardness, and lack of conventional political prestige made him manageable. Instead, Claudius consolidated his position, expanded the imperial bureaucracy, undertook enormous public works projects, and expanded Roman citizenship. Claudius wound up ruling for thirteen years, overseeing the Roman conquest of Britain and significantly reorganizing the imperial government. Genghis Khan was abandoned by most of his clan after his father’s death. They thought he was a weak child. Naive and incapable. He was left without the protection that had supported his father. He built new alliances. Crushed old coalitions. And instead of simply recreating the aristocratic structure that abandoned him, he organized loyalty around ability, usefulness, and personal allegiance. The child nobody thought capable of controlling his own clan eventually unified the Mongol empire and went on to build the largest contiguous land empire in human history. Frederick the Great’s own father mocked him because of his interest in music, philosophy, and French culture. His father mistook refinement for weakness. Frederick liked poetry and music. He wrote. He played the flute. He surrounded himself with intellectuals. And then he became one of the most formidable military and political figures in eighteenth-century Europe. His interests did not make him incapable of exercising power. They made people underestimate what kind of person he was. Frederick the Great wound up turning Prussia into one of Europe’s great powers. Idi Amin was caricatured internationally because of his bizarre public statements and theatrical behavior. And HE WAS RIDICULOUS. That didn’t make him any less dangerous. Amin controlled Uganda for eight years through military force, intelligence, intimidation, imprisonment, torture, and mass killings. His theatrical and ridiculous behavior became part of his international image… but the machinery underneath it was unfathomably violent. Being easy to ridicule didn’t make him incapable of brutality. But it often made people pay less attention. Stalin was grossly underestimated within Lenin’s circle. Trotsky regarded him as mediocre and intellectually unimpressive. While everyone else competed for prestige, Stalin quietly accumulated control over the machinery of the party. And that mattered more than his charisma. Stalin became General Secretary. While other revolutionaries fought ideological battles in public, Stalin built an enormous network of institutional dependence underneath them. By the time his rivals understood how much power he’d accumulated, the bureaucracy was filled with people whose careers depended on him. Benito Mussolini was theatrical, bombastic, and infamously vain. He was mocked by political rivals and the international press. Italian elites thought they could use him without surrendering control to him. The king, conservative politicians, and well established elites believed they could bring Mussolini into government… and use the fascist movement to stabilize the country without allowing Mussolini to dominate it. Instead, they gave him access to the state. He used that access to dismantle the parliamentary system, suppress opposition, destroy independent political organizations, control the press, and turn temporary accommodation into a ruthless dictatorship. This is why, whenever I hear people calling the president a buffoon… I think they look like arrogant fools. Some of the most ruthless tyrants in history were grossly underestimated. The way they were perceived was one of their most powerful weapons. And that is the point. You don’t have to have staggering intellect to be dangerous. You don’t have to be dignified or speak elegantly. You don’t even have to understand every mechanism of power underneath you. You just need people who do. Lawyers, political operatives, bureaucrats, idealists, religious fanatics, think tanks, and loyalists.  And you need opponents who are arrogant enough to mistake your ridiculousness for inability. There is a culture in liberal and leftist activist spaces of mocking and belittling this administration. Of acting like the actions they’re taking are the result of ineptitude. I would know, because I move through these spaces. I have spent the last several years organizing and demonstrating. And the most frustrating part about this experience is watching my fellow activists consistently underestimate this administration. Most of them haven’t meaningfully investigated the history of the Heritage Foundation. Many of them are completely ignorant of the way the current playbook mirrors strategies that were developed and tested under Reagan. They don’t know about Jerry Falwell, Paul Weyrich, and the Moral Majority. And are thus unable to see the striking parallels. The Heritage Foundation produced Mandate for Leadership for Reagan before he took office. It laid out an enormous administrative program for restructuring the federal government. Reagan expanded centralized regulatory control through OMB. His administration put ideological opponents of federal regulation in positions where they could weaken the agencies responsible for carrying it out. The conservative legal movement developed increasingly aggressive theories of presidential control over the executive branch. At the same time, Jerry Falwell, Paul Weyrich, the Moral Majority, Heritage, and the emerging religious right were building an organized political relationship between conservative Christianity and executive power. This isn’t some vague resemblance. There is institutional lineage at work here. The think tanks survived. Even as Reagan crashed and burned. The legal theories were adopted by a new generation of conservative Judges and legislators. The political organizations persisted. The donor networks didn’t disappear. They quietly grew stronger. More deeply embedded in the fabric of our government. Democrats, liberals, and the political left have a serious vision problem. They see chaos and assume incompetence. That couldn’t be further from the truth. If you think all of this chaos is an accident, you aren’t as intelligent as you think you are. You don’t know history well enough to recognize the pattern. And you are in for a rude fucking awakening.
