When did we decide that it was good policy to commodify food, water, and shelter? Organize. Resist. Choose better. 🇵🇸🇨🇦↙️↙️↙️

If you don’t know who Bob Weir was starts here. Then work your way back to 1969. And then 1989. Find the music.

After death threats for his work on antifascism, Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor, fled the United States.
“It’s too late for preventative antifascism,” he said. “I think we’re in a new era.”

He studies fascism. Is he now living through it?

If Doug Ford truly was the business person they thought they were, then they would have been pushing the auto industry to diversify into other manufacturing opportunities. Over-reliance on the auto sector has hamstrung the province and country for too long. #onpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

You can love Jewish people and be against Zionism.
You can want a free Palestine and a free Iran at the same time.
You can love a population of people and also hate people in that population who hate other people.
All things can be true. It’s not always one or the other.

An interesting development and with live phone numbers. #minneapolis
Screenshots of some of the documents found in looted ICE vehicles from one of the livestreams before it got turned "private" on YouTube (after the other one already was). Share widely and make sure the genie can't go back in the bottle.

If policies do not genuinely adapt and lift people up instead of offering platitudes and handouts to billionaires, discontent and isolation will grow. #Canada needs to do better.

So a little band of petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s most rightwing supporters gathered at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto today to demand mass deportations.
They brought the Trump 2024 campaign flag but largely kept it hidden (naturally).

Learning tonight that:
1. Canada used to have laws against publishing fake news
and
2. They were struck down as unconstitutional by the SCC during Ernst Zundel's trial

1/2 The chart shows the 0.1% wealth share 1913-2013. Current estimates show now it's ~14% to 15%. It fell during the Depression & WW2, & leveled off until the '80's, when Reagan's deep cuts in taxes for the rich led directly to today's extreme imbalance.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.
