Yesterday, media reported that there were "border incursions" at the Coutts border crossing. The language in the reporting was suspicious, and intended to ellicit our sympathy for hard working cops. Even though one person was killed and 9 people were a family, including 5 children, who crossed.

I've said it several times before but in case yall not putting two and two together, once mass deportations are done, the oligarchs will need a work force. Yall about to find out what a Black job is. Don't believe me? Check the rising stocks in private prisons.

I remember when we used to chant ‘a better world is possible’ at rallies. Feels like we became so focused on countering cruelty that we forgot to dream. UBI, Open Borders and Prison abolition might still sound too far fetched but if we never demand it it’s never going to happen.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Holy Shit. “Empire City” is such a good podcast series. It features @prisonculture and other thoughtful people. I'd been leaving it until vacation and I'm so glad I'm listening now.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment even after the schools ended any racial preferences then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

Gisele Pelicot is an incredible woman and a hero for her nerve in bringing all those rapists to justice and for knowing the shame does not lie worth her — bravely declining anonymity was incredible.

Christmastime 1997, Loblaws arrested Santa & 2 elves for directly depositing 1000s of dollars worth of quality food from the store into the food bank bin without paying for it, part of the millions Loblaws owed the community. The grocery chain was declared a corporate hypocrite by members of Toronto

Great piece that dives down further on the relationship between the Canadian far-right grifter-media ecosystem and foreign interference. Let’s be clear: we have the problem, others just look to exploit it for their own ends.

My dear Leftist Irish brothers and sisters, What are some books you would recommend on the Irish Potato Famine? Tim Pat Coogan has a book called The Famine Plot that details the generally accepted idea (by most outside of England) that the famine was intentional and a genocide. Is that a good one?

Furries, trans people, and sexual workers built this site, and are responsible for its fun vibes. But this is because we've been pushed out of other spaces by those who control the rest of culture. The "normals". You want Bluesky to stay fun? Respect and listen to us freaks and weirdos

One thing we should all be conscious of here on Bluesky is that trans people were a key part of keeping this site alive when everyone else was afraid to lose clout. They are a big reason we have an alternative to Elon.

The biggest impediment to any city led effort to build more housing is Toronto's own rules and processes. The mayor and the PHC will need to do broad upzoning and simplify applications if they want to succeed.
