The very definition of “human rights” entails universality; every living human has human rights by virtue of being human. That’s something way too many so-called “world leaders” love to purposefully ignore.

Doug Ford left thousands of longterm care residents to die in horrific conditions at the height of the pandemic. Now he wants to make it easier to treat residents that way anytime. #onpoli #topoli

In Florida schools start in August specifically to be open for kids so they have a place to be with AC during really hot days. As a kid (and adult until a couple of years ago) who grew up without AC, school was the only dependable relief from heat.

I've been saying it for months: The Liberals and Conservatives will effectively function as a super party in control of the entire House unless we can drive a wedge between them. Right now, there is a technical but no meaningful difference between these parties.

There's one good thing to note about the slight differences though: the Liberals are desperately trying to manage public sentiment. The walk-backs on Bill C-5 are just enough to get some heat off. The mention here of Gaza is just enough for Carney's defenders to point to. Keep pushing them!

A shameful response from @mark-carney.bsky.social. He can’t say he stands up for international law while justifying US breaches of it. How does he expect Iran to trust the bargaining table when the US ended the JCPOA, Israel killed its negotiator, and the US says recent diplomacy was a ruse?

Bill C-5 part 2 is the controversial part that gives super powers to cabinet to override certain acts to speed up approvals for projects and lacks protections for Indigenous rights. Part 2 passed 3rd reading of the house 306 to 31 - Liberal and CPC in favour, #indigenous #cdnpoli

Write to Prime Minister Carney and related cabinet ministers demanding that Bill C-2 be rescinded. This law gives dangerous unchecked powers to the government to deport people, including permanent residents, and attacks refugees. Add your name: migrantrights.ca/stopc2 #cdnpoli

It’s increasingly clear that Mark Carney misled Canadians about how he was going to approach the United States and wants to govern as a CEO instead of as a prime minister accountable to parliament in a democratic country.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

When a Liberal MP says his own government’s handling of a bill would “make Harper blush,” it’s time to listen. That's why we've got to talk about Bill C-5. Because in their hurry to ram this bill through Parliament, the government is running roughshod over Indigenous and environmental concerns:

Carney’s Bill C-5 is sidestepping environmental laws to fast-track dirty energy projects. But burning #fossilfuels isn’t the answer. Tell #cdnpoli that our strength lies in #climate leadership, not in accelerating pollution.Take action ⤵️ act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/173069/...

We take a shitload of steps to block scrapers, and I mean a FUCKING SHITLOAD of steps that we're constantly tweaking and spend hours on per week, and our server load is still up about 75% from two years ago with only a slight increase in MAU. This problem is fucking huge.

Choosing not to wear a mask/respirator when you can makes you complicit in the current raise of fascism, eugenics, racism, ableism: These horrors echo out from the fact many of you choose harm over community care daily, actively leaving the most vulnerable behind. What future are you fighting for?
