2023: ABC refunds millions of dollars of Empty Homes Tax to developers 2025: ABC refuses to use EHT money for its intended purpose, putting 81 affordable homes for women and children at risk What an astonishing decision by Ken Sim and ABC.

8/8 When every holiday, tragedy, and headline becomes a loyalty test, it’s not news. It’s conditioning. Understanding the pattern breaks its spell. Don’t feed the outrage machine. Expose how it works. #DisinfoWatch #RightWingWatch #AllTheyDoIsLie

1/🧵 It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani. But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else. GOP doesn’t do this.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Please stop saying things like "We had to vote for Carney, it was the only alternative to PP". It's just not true. In fact, that kind of thinking made and continues to make things worse. 🧵

An Italian journalist asked the EU Commission whether or not Israel should pay for the damages done to Gaza's infrastructure like Russia should for Ukraine. That journalist was then fired.

SCOOP: Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is planning to eliminate the city's sustainability and climate department under the guise of a push to prevent increases to property taxes in his proposed 2026 budget. Great source work by Marc Fawcett-Atkinson to uncover this www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/11/n...

1/ NEW: We identified 20 people who attended a white nationalist conference and, despite their efforts to keep it secret, caught another 30 people on film to identify in the future. Several MMA/combat sports instructors were discovered and their gyms have cut ties. 🧵👇

1/ CBC & @antihate.ca released some excellent reporting on a neo-Nazi gathering in Vancouver on July 26. This thread covers more local context & organizing. To start, here is one very interesting Facebook friendship between Exiles of the Golden Age's Lane Pommer & MP Aaron Gunn.

If Wall Street threatens Mamdani-style reforms with a capital strike, organized labor can fight back—history shows how banks killed NYC’s progressive plans in 1975, so unions must prepare to counter similar opposition now.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

lol she got his ass and he knows it

“We're seeing a level of proliferation of bodies & body piles from space that's unlike anything I've ever seen…” Human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond explains how more people could be killed within a week in Sudan, compared to the past two years in Gaza. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/sudans-dea...

The modern conservative movement is more opposed to America’s WW2 actions than they are to literal Hitler

As the dust settles on Carney’s first budget, it’s become increasingly clear which Canadians he thinks need to make “sacrifices.” Hint: it’s not the ultra-wealthy. In fact, it’s clear why someone who still considers himself a conservative feels at home in this Liberal government:

“I think the decision to shutter Teen Vogue and move it to the safer home of Vogue, which is very much a fashion magazine… reflects a larger cultural sensibility that is pulling away from robust critique of these policies that Trump is enacting…” www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

A new book, "Injustice," examines how the Biden Justice Department failed to hold Trump accountable for abuses of power, despite multiple high-profile investigations. Co-authors Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis discuss their findings.

Just imagine if it wasn't in Jackson's jurisdiction to make this decision. Justice Brown strategically made this move. She knew her soulless peers on the Court would take this up, drag it out, and have a shadow docket ruling signed “Get Fucked” by the conservative majority. SNAP

"In Israel, there is widespread popular sympathy for the rapists." "[T]wo out of three Israelis who were polled said they would oppose the criminal prosecution of the suspects." "Israel is incapable of prosecuting its own crimes." #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Media #Incarceration #Genocide #Military

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

“As I have often said, Trump is hired to break things, it is his apex skill; besides predation, which is not an attribute but a malignant character defect for which he has spent a lifetime evading any real accountability. I hope that changes soon.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Excellent piece and worth reading. They’re serious about wanting to repeal the 19th Amendment, and things to look out for along the way include efforts to control access to contraception and to eliminate no-fault divorce, both of which are widely discussed on the right even away from the fringes.

Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

A New Yorker cover shouldn’t make me feel like this, but here it is, making me feel like this

🧵Go back to 2019. A small group of right-wing donors convened in the tiny village of Rockbridge, Ohio, to discuss plans for extending the future of the MAGA movement and turning Trump's political coalition into an enduring transformation of the Republican Party. Convened by Thiel and Vance.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

‘…(Bill C-5 and Bill 5 together) designate “special economic zones” wherein industrial projects approved at the cabinet level are exempt from environmental and labour laws.‘ ricochet.media/indigenous/w...

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

🎧 PODCAST: Looking inside Mark Carney’s ‘extremely Orwellian’ austerity budget From $60 billion in cuts to eliminating 40,000 jobs, Canadian Labour Congress Sr. Economist @dtcochrane.bsky.social shares his impressions of the Carney government's first budget live inside the media lock-up in Ottawa

A video of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian man in prison was leaked. The Israeli government and its supporters are upset – not at the horrific assault, but at the fact that the tape was released. Read Minnah Arshad’s full article: zeteo.com/p/israel-pal...

“We subscribed to the narrative of conflict in order to create the myth of human supremacy, and we invented human supremacy in order to legitimize conflict. Both conflict and supremacy are myths we fabricated so that we can turn ecosystems, resources and human beings into consumables”

Today’s politics may be confusing, but it’s clear that the Republican Party supports these 2 things: 1. Masked, armed men snatching people off the street because of the color of their skin. 2. The hiding of records to cover up for powerful people who rape children.

He engineered a war built on deception & falsified intelligence. Under his direction, over 200,000 Iraqi civilians were killed, & studies estimate up to 650,000 total deaths by 2006. His policies privatized war, normalized torture, & destabilized an entire region for a generation. Rest in piss!

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

There is a book out called “The Sin of Empathy,” which is written by a white Christian nationalist cult leader out in Idaho. The idea that the left is “weaponizing empathy against Christians” is an EXTREMELY popular & growing sentiment being bolstered by the church. And we all need to be aware of it

In 1965, George Klippert was arrested and charged with 4 counts of gross indecency for having consensual sex with adult males. He was assessed as “incurably homosexual,” labeled a dangerous offender and sentenced to life in prison. Story: evelazarus.com/broken-laws-... Vancouver Archives photo
