First, it goes without saying, Fuck Doug Ford. But the road to this, as the article points out, was paved by previous Liberal and Conservative governments, both federal and provincial.

I have work to get to today. Before heading offline, I want to share again that we made a workbook for Let This Radicalize You and if you look on pp. 100-109, you will find a list of countless organizing resources: books, articles, manuals, podcasts etc... It's all there to use.

Actions you can take right now. This is really good. #resist thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lon...

Should we turn Czechoslovakia over to the Germans? We've set up a call-in on Czechoslovakian public radio which is open to Germans to talk about the pros and cons.

Imagine being a witch and you’re all excited because you just brewed up a wicked potion but then you realize now you gotta clean out that cauldron and it’s too big for the dishwasher ugh

Hopefully it means something. The huge irony is Ontario polling shows big disapproval of Ford govt on housing, healthcare + most else. Yet they are 40 % + in the polls re who people will vote for.

“Developed nations such as Italy, Turkey, Sweden, Finland, Spain, and South Korea deliver transit projects comparable to those in Canada at as low as one-tenth the price per kilometre.” High Speed Rail in Canada needs to be publicly-owned and to be built NOW www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/20/n...

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

No surprise given their funding comes from the same people as the American right Canadian right-wing media host links DEI to Toronto plane crash. Gross. youtu.be/0e745p8UKQY?...

Good morning to everyone except the Justin Trudeau supporters. You’re all fake progressives that ignore the rights of First Nations people and believe in our assimilation. He’s been trying to legislate our inherent rights for a decade now. We can’t wait for the fake “sunny ways” PM to be gone.

Ontario election candidates from the PC party are being muzzled and skipping out on local all-candidates debates in droves like TRAINED SEALS. Is this the kind of leadership we want from our future MPPs? UNACCEPTABLE. Ensure your voice is heard at the polls. www.thespec.com/opinion/edit...

While smartvoting.ca is a great tool to stop vote splitting in #ONelxn and NDP candidate Natasha Doyle-Merrick stepped down to prevent just that, Bonnie Crombie has used this final week against Doug Ford to come out swinging hard against…the NDP. Like Wynne did. They just can’t help themselves 🫤

I'm not equal with weird angry bigots I'm their better and will always be so because I'm capable of loving more than myself These words mean so much more than just that though

How Trumpian 😒 Call me shocked 🙄 Kick Thug Ford to the curb ONTARIO!! GET OUT THE VOTE

Trudeau did nothing for First Nations people but lie to our people’s faces & fight our children & elders in court. I don’t see why he should be honoured. He used our people’s trauma against us in his “reconciliation” agenda which actually sought assimilation with release clauses for “certainty”.

Remember when Black people were called paranoid during the election because we suggested this administration was going to try to find more ways to reenact slave labor?

Today Manitoba celebrates Louis Riel Day, a day to honor the Métis leader, visionary, and defender of Indigenous rights. His legacy of resilience and resistance lives on in our communities. Let’s celebrate our history, culture, and strength. #LouisRiel #WeAreTheResistance #MétisRights

scientists say that the disposable nature of starlink satellites results in tons of metals burning up in orbit degrading the progress made on repairing the ozone layer and the worst part the service isn't even affordable to the people who need it most

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Canada recognizes Aboriginal title over Haida Gwaii — the first time this has happened via negotiations, rather than through the courts www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/can... #cannews #cdnnews

Think about that for a minute Ontario!!

What's your favorite Jock moment in the series?

If you've been employed with insurance for the past three years and never had that questioned based on your race/gender or had an identity you could hide to prevent that or that allowed you to sacrifice someone else and didn't actively fight that you feel shame because you should

The Left in Germany are enjoying a late surge. Viral anti-fascism and a stress on working class interests is helping turn their fortunes around.

these corporate boobs really were so on the board for fascism they forgot that soulless greed was their primary motivation

“News flash: Doug Ford was thrown off his game. …because he was forced off his canned campaign script. Friday’s debate changed the channel by challenging the agenda Ford has been foisting on voters since he triggered this absurdly early election.” www.therecord.com/politics/pol...

Holy crap.

There is a great book called Buried By The Times about the NY Times and the Holocaust and the thesis basically is: “It’s not that the New York Times didn’t run any stories about the Holocaust, but they buried it on page A22 and wrote about it oblique ways and in ways that minimized it.”

New from @policyalternatives.ca: A piece by Cory Doctorow. Now that the U.S. has thrown out the terms of continental free trade, Canada should seize the moment and build less predatory alternatives to U.S. tech monopolies. #cdnpoli #CanadaUSTradeWar www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
