The Alberta teacher strike that has affected more than 700,000 students isn’t just another labour dispute.

It’s the latest front in a long campaign to undermine education — closely linked to the right-wing Project 2025 initiative to transform America.

Inside the Right-Wing Attack on Alberta's Public Education | The Tyee

MAGA’s Project 2025 has become a blueprint for undermining Canada’s schools in the name of profit and privilege.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Honestly, it needs to go further than this.

We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 1d

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Canadians, fill out this survey on the federal government’s push to accelerate “AI”.

Its technological solutionism reminds me less of DOGE and more of Sidewalk Toronto’s pitch for a “smart city” where power faded into the background while trumpets promised wealth, ethics, and inclusivity.

If you think its a coincidence that they are pushing BS autism causes while the DeptEd empties its special education division and ICE had an autistic child in dention without any of their family knowing, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

This is a purposeful attack on our most vulnerable.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

To note, Mooney did score in the shootout against BC, but for reasons I've never quite understood, the NCAA does a shootout at the end of tie games but game result is recorded as a tie regardless.

Put this in your minds now: these corrupt motherfuckers will argue in favor of Trump and the AI corporations that back him. Many AI companies like Palantir already define themselves by their pocketbook and because many of the judges here take bribes, they too will serve their billionaire masters.
