I’m intrigued to hear the Canadian government is reviving the online safety bill, but I don’t have much hope from this tech-optimistic government.
It should be used to rein in chatbots, social media, and force platforms to align with strict rules based on our values. I’m not holding my breath.

Within @aaup.org, there's a lot of advocacy chapters who wonder what power they have without a CBA. We're here to say it doesn't matter. Organizing is organizing is organizing. You want the contract but if you act like a union then you're a union. I call this The Newsies Principle.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.
Fuck Columbus.

There are well-recorded cases of Canada & America inducing starvation & then explicitly mocking Indigenous peoples for not wanting to starve. The reason they're so well-recorded is because they led to uprisings, the 1885 Cree Northwest Resistance & the 1862 Dakota War. Blueprint's been here already.
Israel is providing a blueprint for fascists the world over.
If you think they’d never try this at home, you’re wrong.
They need to feel that being this comfortable supporting the starvation of children will cost them - and it absolutely must be very costly indeed to support starving children
