This is an incredibly stupid way to interpret what happened. Twitter was bought by a fascist with the express purpose of crippling it as a tool for movements. He tweaked let neo-Nazis back on the site, tweaked the algorithm to suppress viewpoints and threw off critics.

When I was homeless a long time ago, I was able to occasionally rent a shower at truck stops but nowadays those are only allowed for people with CDLs. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: y’all can’t complain that unhoused people smell bad if you won’t let them clean themselves anywhere.

I can't believe all these people like the founder of Latinas for Trump insisting that "mass deportation is not what we voted for." This is Trump in MAY 2024, six months before the election www.cnn.com/2024/05/01/p...

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

Last night, I reached out to Canada’s foreign affairs department, our prime minister’s office, and the French government (half of those on the Madleen are from France) to see if they’re going to do literally anything after Israel’s abduction of those aboard the Madleen. I’ll keep you all posted.

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here

Canada Post wants to create a new class of flexible, part-time worker that will better compete with Amazon and implement “dynamic routing” so delivery routes can be changed on the fly. It’s a good example of how Amazon degrades workers’ rights even beyond its walls. Workers are right to push back.

For many decades in mainstream journalism, gay people and lesbians were seen as a "them"--a problem (societal, cultural, moral, municipal, religious) that needed to be solved by an "us" (straight people and publications) I don't mean hateful press--this was the approach of SYMPATHETIC publications.>

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

That Democrats, even now, insist on focusing on and blaming the progressive wing of their party for Trump is exactly how we entered the Nadir a century ago. White Americans and those who wanted to politically ascend abandoned Black people and oppressed groups to reunite politically with each other.

On D-Day, thousands of Canadians stormed the beaches of Normandy to begin the fight to free Europe from tyranny. Many never came home. Their courage helped build Canada into the strong, united country it is today. We honour their sacrifice by standing up for those values here at home. Always.

I, a trans woman, apparently knows nothing about youth gender dysphoria. Not like I wasn't putting on my mom's makeup at 7 and getting put in detention in 3rd grade for talking about wanting to be a girl. Just breathtakingly stupid.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

This makes zero sense. If you want peace, you have to impose the sanctions. Then you have leverage. Trump is enabling Russia’s war, just as Moscow hoped and expected. He just does what he is told. Not even by Putin directly. By Putin’s underlings. Over and over.

Today is Naksa Day, a day of commemoration for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were killed and expelled from their homes 58 years ago. Lasting peace means acknowledging atrocities. By carrying our ancestors’ stories and pain, we can strive for a better future for our descendants.

This discriminatory policy is beyond shameful. Just like his first Muslim Ban, this latest announcement flies in the face of basic morality and goes directly against our values. This racist policy will not make us safe, it will separate families and endanger lives. We cannot let it stand.
