Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

We’re in the middle of a massive transfer of wealth from us to the ultra-rich, facilitated by our governments. Houston’s gutting of the office of the Auditor General would allow him to do even worse.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

“A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.” Because if you did, they’d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

The Nazi salute should’ve been reason enough, but now the US is going to cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink if it won’t hand over critical minerals. What happens when the US wants northern Ontario’s resources? If Doug Ford really wants to “Protect Ontario,” he needs to #CancelStarlink now. #OnPoli

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

Dal prof, Dr. Karen Foster: "One gets the sense that it is not “the public” that these institutions are meant to be accountable to, but the government. And this is where the door is being opened to a disturbing level of government influence over university teaching and research."
