“Journalism deserves better” or how billionaire Bezos has run the Washington Post into the ground. Though the WP was never a progressive newspaper, much less left-leaning, it did try to live up to Liberal standards. So, in a age on anti-Enlightenment populism, it became a threat to all fascists.
“Journalism Deserves Better”: Ex-Washington Post Staffers Slam Billionaire Bezos for Gutting Paper
The Washington Post has laid off more than 300 journalists, dismantling its sports, local news and international coverage. “Everybody is grieving, and it’s a loss for our readers,” says Nilo Tabrizy, ...

Every African-American that's supporting Trump should know exactly how he actually sees them. Oh, yeah, that includes idiots like Nicki Minaj and Black fascists like so-called "Ye" (Kanye West) whose MAGA anthem "HH" says all you need to know about this punk.

This is a disgrace. Brampton company #Roshel is selling armoured vehicles to ICE to be deployed in Gestapo-style anti-migrant raids in the US. On the issue of selling weaponized vehicles to US repressive agencies, Ontario's premier Doug Ford is all elbows down.

If Shakespeare were alive today, he would certainly condemn ICE and the whole anti-immigrat and racist war coming out of the White House. Don't believe me? Watch Ian McKellen as Thomas More performing/delivering a speech about immigrants writen by Shakespeare 400 years ago. Brilliant!

The most blatant celebration yet of "Manifest Destiny", the despicable notion that the US was "destined by divine providence" to expand to the west, the south and beyond, celebrating the 1846-48 war against Mexico - an ominous warning. The Confederacy was defeated once. It can be defeated again!

Speaking of the Trumpian restoration... it really is going all the way back to the icons of empire, so-called "discovery", and colonialism. Not just in the US, but all over the world.

When confronted with undeniable evidence of their moral and political decrepitude, the ruling 1% class will feign any level of sorrow that's needed in order to get away with murder, rape, pillage or any other kind of destruction. It's the same script from Gates, Clinton, Mandelson to Andrew or Musk.

Al salir de su reunión con Trump, #Petro dijo: “Lo que nos junta es la libertad. Podemos ser muy diferentes, pero lo que nos junta es la libertad. Y ahí comenzó la conversación”. Dos años de críticas a Trump, quien tiene rasgos claramente neofascistas, y solo después de 2 horas salir con esto? 😞

In Mudanza, #BadBunny turns refusal into an anthem. Refusal to leave. Refusal to disappear. Refusal to accept displacement as fate rather than as violence. Mudanza speaks to many kinds of forced movement - economic expulsion, colonial dispossession, gentrification and even climate displacement.

In Lo que le pasó a Hawaii, #BadBunny uses Hawaii not as metaphor but as historical evidence: US annexation, militarization, cultural erasure, and land theft. What happened there is not past—it’s a warning.

Letting technogarch Elon Musk launch a constellation of 1 million satellites into orbit for his now merged companies SpaceX and xAI means not only finishing off the private colonization of low space orbit - which belongs to humanity as a whole - but also the complete destruction of the night sky.

This is exactly how billionnaires rig election campaigns and then, when they are exposed or caught in the process, deny the claims and call them "bullshit". But the evidence is there for everyone to see.

Really sad news: Catherine O’Hara has passed away. For many, she was a comedy legend. For me, she was something even more specific, part of my cultural and linguistic landing in Canada in 1984. Humor was one of my first bridges into the world of the Great White North.
