The tech broligarchs are getting organized and political. No, I’m not talking about what’s happening in the United States. This is right here in Canada. A group of CEOs, founders and other executives have decided they’re tired of their voices going unheard (lmfao) Here's what's going on:

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

"Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy," Ford said in a statement. "That's my job, and I hate competition."

A U.S. hedge fund owns most of the newspapers in Canada.

BTW, if you're into Buy Canadian remember that basically all mainstream print media in Canada... Isn't Choose @thetyee.ca @thenarwhal.ca hell, even @thebeaverton.com

Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

For the record I spent a few years waitressing at a spot that sold more than 200 different beers (and 36 on tap) so I can easily recommend you incredible Canadian beer ✨

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

The only way we can defend our parks at this point is to protest. Take to the streets and protest like your lives and loved ones depend on it. Because they do

I’ll say it again. On DAY ONE, Trump pardoned the life sentence of the biggest dark web drug trafficker (including fentanyl) & money launderer in the history of the internet. So the #TrumpTariffs premise is as idiotic & false & Trump’s fascist regime. #SilkRoad #RossUlbricht

For as long as this tariff circus plays out, the obscenely wealthy Canadian elite will mobilize maudlin patriotism to get you to buy their shit, even while they raise prices way beyond what they would 'need' to to cover their extra costs. YOU will pay for the trade war, Galen Weston will not.

Galen Weston realizing he can blame the US tariffs for price gouging Canadians this time around.

The first thing Canada should do is cut Fox from all cable stations in Canada.

We need to get this contract cancelled PRONTO! I object to $100m Ontario tax dollars going to a company owned by Elon Musk. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #onpoli #FordFailure cc @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @bonnieforontario.bsky.social globalnews.ca/news/1086986...

I know there's huge concern about the material on the #CDC site that went dark last night. For those looking for the #ACIP recommendations on vaccinations, that page is live here: www.cdc.gov/acip-recs/hc...

Media: As PM how would you deal with US tariffs? Poilievre: Which tariffs? Media: Announced in the media. Poilievre: Which media? Media: By the Trump administration? Poilievre: Which administration? Media: Trump’s Poilievre: But, specifically, which Trump? Media: Donald Poilievre: How many?

They literally removed the T 5 hours ago

We're not giving up on this seasons field work studying moose in the park. Oh we're in debt from previous years but with your help we'll make it. We're a 501c3 in good standing and our first paper already passed peer review so 👍. If you can manage it Please donate today gofund.me/babd9034

Been in a lot of well meaning meetings & community discussions where people are saying "We should really mobilize people for the election. We need to get femicide on the ballot this election" but then nothing comes of it! And the election is less than a month away! So, I whipped these together.

Today we launched the Pledge for Canada. We have voices from across the political, cultural, labour, Indigenous spectrum. We are building a movement to maintain pressure on our leaders not to sell out our nation or our values. Please sign and join the movement. engagement-canada-pledge.ca

I have been given 4 eagle feathers in my years working with the Cree people. It is a sacred trust. I rarely bring them out. But in facing down Trump we need to invoke our inner warrior spirit. I hold the feather aloft as a sign of respect and determination. We will not break. Not now. Not ever.

Not that there was ever any doubt, but Ezra Levant and friends are showing their true colours. Hope Canadians are clocking jersey numbers this weekend. 🇨🇦

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

My local town subreddit has becomes a nonstop ICE resistance machine. People are posting tips, location sightings and updates all day. Attorneys are there volunteering and city councilmembers are in there helping and taking feedback on how to resist It’s beautiful.

This was one of my favorite accounts! cc: @booker.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @jaimeharrison.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

People are spreading nonsense about “deep state” trying to sabotage DJT’s presidency with “all those incidents.” He’s actually doing a pretty good job himself! On a serious note: if you think that, please seek help. 🙏

yeah but reconciliation tho

My coworker is an immigrant from Afghanistan. She said “I survived three wars. If you have lentils and water, we can get through this. I will make sure.”

BREAKING: white supremacy exempt from tariffs

Canada's tech broligarchs have A GROUP CHAT?? Yup, they sure do -- that's according to a great scoop from The Logic: thelogic.co/news/the-big... But this is just one part of a broader story about Canada's tech bros deciding they want to play (right-wing) politics. Let's talk about it:

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

It's Pritzker and AOC who get it so far. Who else?

Holy ****

RIP to a great one
