Humans. 🥰

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

We were JUST all spiralling about potentially being invaded by the US and now we want to be in a joint defence scheme like that would protect us from oh, I don't know, the US?

Buckle up for total silence from our leaders

Braiding, bridging, weaving, ethical space, reconciliation, mean nothing if we tie ourselves to war, genocide, and the ecological devastation of empire. The last ten years of liberal ‘reconciliation’ served to distract Indigenous leaders in ‘Canada’ from our duties to building global solidarities.

While the Prime Minister is cozying up to human rights abusers and tyrants, he is rejecting meaningful consultation with workers, environmental groups and with Indigenous nations. Our path to a stronger economy and a better future cannot bypass human rights in Canada or abroad.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

"🚨🚨🚨The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white irritant substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio."

do not give the people claiming they’re against fascism while complaining about protest tactics any more airtime than absolutely necessary. the cable networks will be having them on starting in the AM, no doubt

Portland and Salem, too

#FossilFuel #Carney “There is no such thing as decarbonized oil and gas,” UBC climate scientist, Simon Donner said. “Oil contains carbon. It is high school chemistry. It emits carbon dioxide when they’re used. The government is going to embarrass itself by using such industry and marketing speak.”

Canada is failing. F-, please re-do.

The moral bankruptcy of the Government of Canada on public display.

F&?!ing pay women.

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

Remember when it felt like we were maybe going to get 4-day work week? But then it was all like, Hell no! Ah, tariffs! We must mine everywhere! Build the military, prepare for war! Work more! Crush unions and protests! And we doubled down on capitalism instead?

Unpack this survey and it shows that it is conservatives in SK and AB that are disgruntled with their place in Canada. And that anger is fuelled by their commitment to the Oil and Gas sector. Which is ironic, given that forest fires driven by climate change are devastating both provinces right now.

Chatted with the National Observer about this breaking story: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/29/n...

100% This is the way to increase density and preserve the character and wind scape of our neighbourhoods - Hamilton has so much potential! Don’t let developers build skyscrapers for profit!!!

W/ Canadian heroes - doctors and others who have been working in Gaza, witnesses to the genocide happening right now - calling on PM Carney to end Canada’s complicity in this genocide. I have reintroduced my motion to recognize Palestine. Calling on my colleagues to co-sponsor this motion.

It’s painful to watch the City of Hamilton struggle to get the light rail project off the ground, knowing the city had epic train and street car infrastructure just 5 decades ago. How amazing it would be to get around *not* in a car.

🚨The SPLC's 2024 #YearInHate & Extremism report tracked 1,371 U.S. hate and antigovernment extremist groups 🔗: www.splcenter.org/yihe2024 Some used tactics like violence and propaganda to manipulate our political system — causing division, demoralizing people and dismantling democracy. 🧵#YIHE24

Rage. So much rage.

About time Canada finally spoke up. The best time would’ve been at the start, but the second best time is now.

Say it louder for the folks in the back!

So, he gets to live for free for six months, while he’s in between jobs? And us taxpayers pay for it?

Back in 2017, I published this piece for The Walrus. My editor at the time had no idea what I was trying to say, and so what ended up being written erased what I thought were the most important points, but it remains a good piece ... thewalrus.ca/the-limits-o...

Love this.

Today, Chief Troy Knowlton of Piikani Nation made it clear to Smith that she has not only united First Nations in Alberta against Bill 54 and separation... She's united First Nations across Canada against what she's doing. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

May 5 is Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Today is dedicated to honouring the thousands of lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people.

🤣

💯 It boggles my mind that there is traction for this story that young men are angry and suffering because the material reality of their lives is so, so, so bad and difficult…

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Every single Canadian member of the IDF who was engaged in the genocide needs to be prodecuted if they return to Canada.

If you were going to assemble an advisory to breathe new life into the NDP - who would you invite? I’d start with @sandela.bsky.social and @nolore.bsky.social

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve been granted an injunction that will ensure that the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University will remain in place until the judge presiding over our Charter challenge makes his decision.

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:

@nolore.bsky.social and @sandela.bsky.social, curious if questions in the Patreon chat get answered by you both or someone on your team?

@nolore.bsky.social you’re airing on The Breach right now!!!

Editors, journalists -- you should all be calling @sandela.bsky.social to explain how policing interacts with safety and security and how more policing makes over-policed communities even more less safe (including people with severe mental illness).

I do not have the words strong enough to say fuck off with this shit.

Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations. For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together. Share widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
