Liberation Day has become so commercialized. I happen to think Liberation Day should be spent enjoying tariffs with friends and family.

New research shows Israel's slaughter in Gaza has killed more journalists than the US Civil War, World Wars 1 and 2, the Korean War, the Vietnam war, the Yugoslav Wars, the Afghanistan War and the Ukraine War COMBINED. More: watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/p...

To be super clear: CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

A long first post for Next Toronto. on why we need to toll the DVP and the Gardiner. It would be better for everyone and that we haven't done it reflects a lack of vision and leadership. nexttoronto.substack.com/p/toronto-sh...

NEW from @charliepinkerton.bsky.social Doug Ford’s former assistant broke the law lobbying for Greenbelt removals: integrity commissioner The commissioner also dinged him for other work lobbying an ‘office holder’ — confirmed by The Trillium as Premier Ford www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

"Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed by Israeli forces “one by one” and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day...Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, at least 36 in a brigade. 1/4

What I’d like to see the NDP talk more about and focus on: 1. Industrial policy, especially now 2. Building an economy where enterprises are increasingly owned and controlled by workers (related to 1) 3. Building things (which workers like to do, related to 1 and 2)

One time in high school I took too many magic mushrooms and gave exactly the same speech.

Seeing a lot of genAI art used in the service of fascism lately

Pierre Pollinate

Love to see that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre follows Ben Shapiro, too! Shapiro has posted about annexing Canada :)

With all the concern about what messaging app was used by our leaders, I'd love it if we also considered that we dropped bombs on a civilian apartment building and killed 53 people. Some number of whom were children. If another country did this to the United States, we'd call it a war crime.

It is so funny that even when posting what should be a triumphant moment about a launch of some new image generator Sam Altman can't even post an image where the guy has the correct number of fingers

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Young person, successful student, permanent resident, participated in campus protests & is now hiding from ICE, which has threatened to deport her (she came to the US at age 7 from Korea). Which part of this story isn’t fascism? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/n...

Paula Fletcher veto’d a motion for the TTC/City implementing temporary transit priority measures like no stopping restrictions, turning restrictions & some dedicated lanes to alleviate diverted streetcars in Downtown & to speed up service. …and it flew COMPLETELY under the radar. I am beyond upset.

"Progressive" councillors

Yesterday Israel attacked a United Nations guest house in Gaza where UN staff were staying and one person was killed. Israel has murdered at least 280 UN staff since October 2023.

I edited Joe Higashi's Real Bout Fatal Fury victory screen.

blue sky is supreme because every time you post you get 100 school principals in the replies asking to see you in their office

Yet people on the right scream the loudest about being silenced… I’m begging people to think about why we have so many massive right-wing accounts and what it tells you about the money behind, institutional support for and algorithmic appeasement of those views.
