We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault to an extent Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs. A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.

governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy how can these people be so bad at this

I notice that some people do not understand that #TeslaTakeDown is also a warning to other corporate "leaders" that they too can be next in terms of public repudiation that will destroy their brands.

It seems so obvious that in any country, conservative leadership will capitalize on the opportunity to seize on a swell of reactionary nationalism when there is an existential threat, real or perceived, to pass horrific policies. Canada isn't different or special even if yall want to think so.

A people who couldn't draw the line at genocide are definitely not gonna draw the line at an assault on democracy. Genocide is the RED line. The one line no one must cross. They crossed it, and outlawed anyone trying to stop it. Those are the people y'all want to fight for your democracy. Wow!!

Today @melbuer.bsky.social writes about lessons learned over the years working in the restaurant industry and how those can apply to fostering a general sense of solidarity among workers everywhere. It's a great piece and also kind of gave me PTSD. www.welcometohellworld.com/lessons-in-s...

I know the “revoke Elon’s Canadian citizenship” movement fires up all the populist nerves which are legit raw right now but an approach that cuts off public funding for his companies is both more effective and sidesteps the ethical issues of whether a mob should decide who is a citizen

The definition of "small business" is as slippery, ideological and unhelpful as "non-violence". Small Business is a right wing framing that offers a non-class non-property based analysis and imagines the problem with businesses are their size rather than the fact they exploit and dominate workers

100% this. My aunt texted me about it. A woman who has voted republican in the past, and was charmed by Obama. She’s furious and has no idea of what to do, and this sort of action activates folks like my aunt, it gathers their attention. Now she’s like ‘what else can we do?’ and that is a good thing
