I have work to get to today. Before heading offline, I want to share again that we made a workbook for Let This Radicalize You and if you look on pp. 100-109, you will find a list of countless organizing resources: books, articles, manuals, podcasts etc... It's all there to use.

The White House is posting literal fascist video of the deportations with gleeful comments from the official account. You are not going crazy they are Nazis and they are dancing at the the opportunity to murder anyone they want with impunity they are posting the cattle cars for clicks.

I just…have my suspicions about the revolutionary capacity of a left-wing population who abandoned disabled and high-risk people at the drop of a hat for an assurance of their own normality. But it’s not to late to fix that particular choice (except for all the dead and disabled people who can’t)

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

The quickest take is that BC's rush to stand up to Trump by embracing the same rapacious extractivism the conservatives do makes no sense. The more detailed analysis is this, from @thetyee.ca's @amandafollett.bsky.social: thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Food for thought. If they feared violence, they would have banned guns day one. Instead, they are banning books. They are erasing data and records. It is ideas and knowledge that truly scare a fascist and that is their weakness.

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

Canned Tuna: want me to start? maybe it'll cost more in Canada, maybe it won't. Most canned tuna currently sold here is caught & processed very, very, far away, in southeast Asia in fact. Maybe we should be paying a lot more for it than we currently are? Have a listen to this:

It's ok to make bad art. It's actually ok. It may mean you're not the kind of person that art is a marketable skill for, you just make art because making art is cool & fun. That's much better than using AI for art. Just make bad art.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's adolescent energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

keep having Lynch thoughts: he's a refutation of 1 of the most juvenile & annoying beliefs that some in artistic realms have--that in order to create unsettling, disturbing, profound or dark art, the work must be grimdark & also the person making it should be bleak &/or unkind. No! That's very silly

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

No matter what happens with the Canadian Federal election, one thing will be true — a significant % of Canadian voters & media will have been successfully manipulated to oppose a beneficial carbon pricing approach that was either revenue-neutral or financially beneficial to almost all Canadians…1/2

Allowing bigots to be in your spaces is not a sign of being "an adult" capable of disagreement. It's a sign that you're OK with bigots. It's a sign that you have the moral strength of wet toilet paper.

Wearing an N95 is the best way to keep your community safe. Many so-called "leftists" refuse to practice community care because it's inconvenient. Saying "COVID is inevitable" is wrong. Every chain of transmission that is broken is valuable.
