Are these the same doctors who refuse to acknowledge long term organ- and immune system damage from “mild” infections, and who won’t wear masks during an ongoing airborne pandemic? #CovidIsntOver

Break, yes. But break left? Or break right? More capitulation to special interests? Or more fight? I'll give you a wild guess as to what Canada needs. Not just to be successful—but to survive the coming storms. #Climate #Collapse #Disinformation #ElbowsUp #CdnPoli

Misinformation, the podcast. (So long as clicks are how journalism is funded & how social media content is promoted, the truth does not stand a fighting chance. We must fund professional journalism & regulate transparency into social media algorithms) #Disinformation #SaveTheCBC #ElbowsUp #CdnPoli

I see trolls as an intractable by-product of any attempt at bridge-building. [Takes a bow] They fortunately fade so long as they aren't fed—while relying on our reactions for nourishment: But we aren't the reactionaries, are we. I pity the rabid rubes—for they have no power over me. #ElbowsUp

Fascist regimes insist on compliance—any criticism is treason (or in this case, antisemitism). But evil is evil, no matter the banner under which it marches. No child — be it Palestinian, Jewish, Salvadoran, Russian or Yemeni is a terrorist. And no amount of violence will solve this conflict. #Gaza

More proof that the Conservative Party of Canada —like the GOP—is no longer conservative at all. Tories disapprove of the monarchy? In what universe? I’ll tell you in which: the one where the right isn’t about conserving anything—only securing power at all costs; fascism reborn. #CdnPoli

At Guantánamo Bay, language is strategy. Torture becomes “enhanced interrogation techniques,” or EITs. Force-feeding hunger-striking detainees is softened into “enteral feeding.” For journalist @michelleshephard.bsky.social, the euphemisms are dizzying. thewalrus.ca/guantanamo-bay/

What carbon capture is to the climate crisis, in one sentence: "We’ll cross that bridge when we reach it" Only there is no bridge. There are no trees left to build one. We are the inhabitants of Easter Island, months before they realized with horror: "What have we done" #ClimateBrawl

Brits: "You are outgunned, outmanned and sinking. Surrender!" John Paul Jones: "I have not begun to fight" American friends, if you remember anything on this memorial day, let it be this: It’s not by waiting for the odds —or polls—to be in one’s favour, but by fighting fearlessly that one prevails

A judge who orders this administration to do something, but then fails to ensure their order is obeyed, is like a patient with a deadly infection who takes the first couple antibiotic pills but then stops. The patient isn’t cured. And now the disease’s resistance to the next treatment is stronger.

Not going away: finding a way. That’s why they call us creatives, dipshit. Unlike y’all, we don’t steal, plunder and cheat. We create. Out of thin fucking air when we must. Not that any of you low IQ, no EQ opportunists would know a thing about that.

In health as with climate: as the danger mounts, defences falter. This is going to hurt.
