Happy Thanksgiving!!

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

More than ever, we need leaders of faith to speak out against the inhumane cruelty happening in the United States, unafraid!

My family were Orange/Green. My "Orange" granny came from the Dundee tenaments. She hated the crown and sectariarism. She loved a political fight.
I got music and religion from the Catholic side and left wing brass knuckles from the protestant side.
tis the biggest mix up that you have ever seen.

25 years ago today I stood on a blockade on the Adams Mine road. In defiance of potential mass arrests we held Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 people.
I made the decision that weekend that I would dedicate my life to resistance and defending people.
Happy Thanksgiving

We have to feel like we can win! Looking forward to No Kings Day! Bring sandwiches to share with your fellow resisters. May sure you give thanks before you break bread. Make up some resistance song books and have a few guitar buddies help you with a sing-a-long…

We are in a time of frightening darkness but people are still stepping up and doing the right thing.
We must keep kicking at the authoritarian darkness until it bleeds daylight.

The profound inhumanity and sadistic violence of the Trump regime is only outweighed by the incredible bravery, compassion, and basic decency of the everyday people who are risking everything to defy Fascism, and protect their neighbours.

It's a time of monsters, yes, but also Heroes.

“Whilst you [Gasparro, Toronto MP] outrageously try to claim we are antisemetic ‘the Times’ ... wrote of our headline show in London... as ‘emphatically anti-sectarian... We’re sorry we can’t be with you [fans] ... but we will not be silenced and will always oppose genocide.” - Kneecap

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

I'm glad that Charlie Angus is reaching a larger audience, he's doing far more to unite Canadians against fascism than Carney, who keeps making moves like this that are frankly terrifying. #cdnpoli

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
This is a speech I gave to autoworkers in Oshawa.
