My book list on fascism "Liberals use “fascism” to identify uniquely authoritarian politicians – exceptions to status quo neoliberal order. Rather than an aberration, fascism operates through everyday violences of colonial occupation, capitalist circuits of extraction & racial terror."

For the Zionists that might be confused why some middle aged white guy in Canada is protesting what you are doing in Palestine: it's because I'm also responsible. My country gives you weapons, my country gives you political cover. We are all responsible for this genocide. #FreePalestine #cdnpoli

I for one think it’s super keen that we live in a world where we can pull out our pocket supercomputers with access to the mass-sum of human knowledge and watch starving children begging for help getting scraps of expensive mouldy bread on a planet where more than enough food rots to feed us all.

Open letter by Israeli academics. “This is a horrifying litany of war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing. … It is human societies, not governments alone, that commit crimes against humanity. … We cannot claim that we did not know. We have been silent for too long.”

Please read. We hoped that one of the many members of the Bluesky community from Gaza could be first to share this letter, but we were worried that their account would get taken down if they did. This letter is for @moderation.bsky.app, Bluesky leadership, and the wider community here. Thanks!

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Canada faces a moral crossroads. It can either uphold the principles of justice and human dignity, or remain complicit in atrocity. To be on the right side of history, and to honour the promise of Never Again, our leaders must act now.

Gas prices back up near carbon tax prices just in time for the long weekend. The idea that fossil fuel companies weren’t just going to charge what we always paid and pocket what the government used to bring in carbon taxes is one of the slickest scams ever pulled here. #cdnpoli

We did what the EPS investigators didn't. We went to the apartment building and asked the super if he had security video. He did. And he gave it to us. It shows Awid looking both ways before he stomps Parkhurst, something the police prosecutor failed to mention. Disgusting whitewash by EPS - again.

New from me! The provincial government believes Albertans on AISH are already receiving more than enough support. So rather than let the federal government lift some Albertans with disabilities out of poverty, the province has decided to claw back the Canada Disability Benefit.
