It feels like there's something new, at least in my lifetime, in the starkness (or breadth?) of the rupture between the view of the world that liberal elites in the West are trying so desperately to maintain and that of a significant minority of the population in the West.

The MSM will continue its freefall. The Right doesn't trust them, Leftists never did, all they had were Liberals and they are increasingly tuning out too.

I think it's very suspect that some people are more worried about Iran maybe possibly someday having nuclear weapons than motherfucking Donald Trump having nuclear weapons in this very second. What is going on in your brain? [hint: it's orientalism]

The central premise of the Combahee River Collective statement is irrefutable: protecting the most marginalized groups necessarily protects us all. Right now, migrants of colour are the most marginalized people among us. They must be protected on both sides of the border.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

I'm one of the 412 lawyers, academics, human rights advocates and other experts who have signed an open letter to PM Carney demanding that Canada do everything in its power to stop the genocide in Gaza and support efforts to bring those responsible to account www.alexneve.ca/blog/prime-m...

WE ARE NOT BETTER OFF. THE COUNTRY IS ON FIRE. I CAN'T BREATHE WHEN I GO OUTSIDE. And you're gutting public services, shoving extraction down our throats that will make climate change worse, and pushing through police surveillance and anti-immigration bills.

chinga la migra May the spirit of rebellion grow & multiply!! I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are ever responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist time, they don't need "excuses." Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity, & keep tactical differences internal

I mean, sure, yes, fighting amongst elites is both entertaining and potentially politically useful. But I can't help but think a lot of us are a little too into it, and maybe we should be, y'know, focusing on whatever we're doing to build up our side of things...

Holy fuck, you guys. I keep stressing that this guy is much, much worse than Stephen Harper, and even I am constantly surprised at how fucking despicable this man is. This Liberal govt needs to be opposed in every way.

It's completely predictable, and in fact was widely predicted, but seeing 'progressive' Liberals constantly spout excuses for the awful things that Carney is doing (and that they'd vociferously denounce if a Con was doing them) is still depressing and exhausting. #cdnpoli

How one lands on trans rights & Palestine is a roadmap for how one lands on fascism broadly. Defending oppression requires one to dig in their heels, to increasingly embrace a fascist logic in all respects until they become a twisted, hateful monster. This is what BlueSky is turning itself into.

Yesterday we made Palestine and the genocide in Gaza unavoidable in Ottawa, the nation’s capital in Canada. Protestors took over the streets in front of CANSEC, an arms trade show where tech and weapons used to slaughter Palestinians are being bought and sold.

Both Mark Carney and Anita Anand ran away from journalists today, refusing to explain when, if ever, they will impose sanctions on Israel.
