Are you on crack, Instagram?

I don’t normally publish two stories in one day, but this seemed to good to pass up. Calgary Board of Education hired scabs to undermine striking workers albertaworker.ca/news/calgary...

I miss DEI

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The US President's attempts to extort Ukraine for its natural resources, while abandoning its fate to Russia, is a return to the worst imperial politics of the past, argues Aleksandar Djokic

I've been preaching this for fucking years! I was on the East German border in 87. We were alerted an American businessman was in Leningrad and that he'd be compromised like all the others! 💥💥

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

⚡️ European leaders back Zelensky after Trump's accusations. "Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia's merciless war of aggression for almost three years... And it is simply wrong and dangerous to deny President Zelensky's democratic legitimacy," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on X.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

URGENT Those afraid of truth and scandals becoming public, are using their influence to muzzle the “The Breakdown” through a Court Order. As of Friday, the podcast is shot down. This is not the Alberta we can tolerate! PLEASE donate to fight the Gag Order. www.gofundme.com/f/vggge-lega...

...they're eating the protections for the people who live there.

This is the first piece I've written since the 2024 election. It is published in a UK outlet (@newhumanist.bsky.social) and tries to make sense of many Christians' messianic attachments to Trump. newhumanist.org.uk/articles/6380

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

The gap between First Nations and non-First Nations life expectancy in Alberta is 19 years, and wider now than any other point on record. This is a provincial and national emergency. #ableg www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/f...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

“A new analysis by independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto — the posterchild deadly cars if ever there was one.”

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

Roman shared this video with us from the watermelon harvest in Arizona. An average watermelon weighs 20 lb. These farm workers form a human chain of picking and passing the heavy fruit into the trailer. #WeFeedYou

"I want to be very clear on this: Gaza is the land of Gazan Palestinians and they must stay in Gaza," Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares told reporters.

President Trump has proposed that Palestinians leave Gaza for somewhere else. Framed less politely, this is an American president calling for ethnic cleansing of Gaza. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

NEW: Trump describes Gaza as a “demolition site” whilst sitting next to the indicted war criminal who demolished it. He then explains he wants to clear Gaza of Palestinians and find them somewhere else to live. Presumably to hand Gaza to Israel. It’s US-backed ethnic cleansing.

Beyonce's reaction was fantastic

What a full circle moment; Taylor Swift handing Beyoncé a Grammy and Kanye West, uninvited, escorted out of the building. DAMN. Life moves pretty fast. #Grammys

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

The Trump Tariffs are ILLEGAL. He does NOT have the unilateral authority to amend trade agreements with Canada and Mexico. He needs Congressional approval -- and he does NOT have it. The tariffs should be challenged in court -- and overruled by Congress. NOW.

It's Groundhog Day! Here's what Groundhog Day (the film) is known as in five countries… 5. The Black Hole of Love (South Korea) 4. A New Day Threatens (Denmark) 3. Monday the Whole Week (Sweden) 2.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?
