I would like CBC to stop airing Israeli propaganda like this, or they could just be defunded. #cdnpoli

Oh look, another cis lesbian assaulted for using the women’s bathroom. I’d like to send a gigantic fuck you to every lesbian TERF who helped create this situation www.outsports.com/2025/5/21/24...

No matter what happens, support our postal workers. They went back to work for you over the holidays to their own detriment. They have among the highest workplace injury rates of any job. They are essential. Postal workers have won all of us rights consistently.

The IDF just fired on Canadian diplomats. Will our politicians respond?

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

It’s absolutely fucking astounding how well they’ve sold and normalized this dystopian Orwell bullshit and how many Americans just swallow it as The Way. HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT—NEVER EVER—BE BOUND TO YOUR EMPLOYMENT. THAT IS A COMPANY STORE TOKEN SHARECROPPER CON OF THE SICKEST MAGNITUDE.

similarly, in the US there are *far* more people working in museums than in coal mining. there are some industries that have salience as 'working people' and 'hearts of the community' (often after decades of intentional managed decline) and some that do not.

Been thinking about this question for a bit. The thing about these these people is that they truly don’t regard defrauding investors or embezzling money to be crime. “Real crime” is a homeless person chasing you with a horrible bloody ax, all this other stuff is just a hobby or something.

As I mentioned earlier this morning, I have edited my anti-Ezra fundraiser and added a really comprehensive introductory overview so that even newcomers can get up to speed on what this is all about, www.gofundme.com/f/bsdxd-defe... So if you're still unsure about this lawsuit, give it a read.

Hi again! This local trans person (who I was just hanging out with and can vouch for) just posted an update to her GFM. Good news: she has two promising job interviews! Bad news: she really needs help with June rent so she doesn't get evicted before she can line up a job. Please help if you can!

This is the guy Frank Seravalli defended Wayne Gretzky associating with.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Dear Tech…

My mother and I are flying to France tonight, so I'm watching some last-minute training videos for the trip. youtu.be/nAHP3skuN0s?...

A must read and here’s the link to comment ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-0...

Last day for Ontario residents to register comment against the Ford Govt's proposed Bill 5, which will essentially remove all environmental regulations in "special economic zones". This will probably go through, but if you want to speak against it... ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-0...

Anyone else notice his priorities are weirdly aligned with sectors that have historically been hubs of mob influence? Just me?

The correct answer is E. Ontario under Doug Ford is now spending 35% more AFTER INFLATION than was the "spendthrift" Wynne regime. It's not austerity. It's piss-poor spending choices and an inability to manage the public sector.

Habs prospect Vinzenz Rohrer was named Austria’s 🇦🇹 player of the game today in a 5-2 win over France 🇫🇷 He had 1 goal & 1 assist.

I guarantee you the focus of the last decade, and into the future, on STEM and trades, while downplaying the creation of a civic culture with people capable of critical thinking and governance skills, will prove ruinous.

Again, if you still have an X account, please reconsider what you're supporting.

Never expect anything from the Liberals except disappointment.

[email protected] and I heard tell of so much of this stuff when we were reporting this story about the Epoch Times/Shen Yun/Falun Gong. They all live on a compound and are encouraged to marry elders to stay in the country. Their existence is shocking. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Reminder for all: Corporations are sociopathic. If your private sector employer could find a way to make money that required throwing a random employee in a wood chipper each year, they'd do it.

They might as well make Solomon the Minister responsible for Carbon Capture and NFTs if he is going to handle things that are complete scams.

Or. OR. He reinstated the ministry because of public pressure. We don't just sit silent. Public opinion guides policy. We don't just "wait and see" with politicians. We are their bosses.

We must stop treating people as expendable. “Covid is only a risk to the vulnerable” has given way to “only sick children should die of measles.” Every time you say “did they have a pre-existing condition” when someone dies… you’re making it easier for fascists to eliminate us.

As a Montrealer, my experience has been that separatist leaders want to sell voters the tickets, but they don't want to take the ride themselves.

"R-Word", eh? People always tell on themselves when they act as though a term is neutral but won't actually say it themselves.

Throwing money away, to the detriment of the health system. Ban this practice entirely. In fact, make these for-profit agencies illegal and require hospitals to hire nurses directly.

No notes.

I am more far fascinated with the security implications of a foreign government gifting a plane to Trump. Wouldn't you have to gut the thing down to it's last bolt and replace everything to make sure no surveillance devices were installed?

It’s easier in Toronto to demolish a science museum that gets 1 million visitors a year than it is to remove a handful of street parking spots on a major thoroughfare
