This is unacceptable.

Funny/not funny. Ontario government calls Ring of Fire minerals ‘the most ethical on Earth,’ while passing legislation that suspends treaty rights, species protections, and human rights — to benefit extractive industries. ricochet.media/indigenous/o... via @ricochetmedia.bsky.social

happy to see this news.. still mad that UCLA’s workers had to sue to stop this because our well-paid administrators were too spineless to fight for us

Eugenics. Disabled people have been saying this. It’s intentional.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

trans women playing women’s sports

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.

Also very Japanese American internment. So many family homes and farms seized for pennies on the dollar by white neighbors

Well, that’ll wreck you. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

about as meaningless as the words "Nobel Peace Prize" now

It’s the latter. And it answers a question I kept posing: how do you punish people with complex bureaucracy if you dismantle…the complex bureaucracy that can punish? You can’t.

“A new step in a pattern of deliberate disregard for international law & the United Nations. Israeli forces stormed into an UNRWA health centre in East Jerusalem. This is a United Nations premises.” Statement by UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

This is why no chase policies are important and it is important to point out the police regulalry violate them. www.washingtoninformer.com/dc-photograp...

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Modern Family Nelson White ~ Mi'kmaq 2024

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.

This policy is illegal in Ontario.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

Today, December 6, marks the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. @stfx-university.bsky.social Sexual Violence Prevention Education Coordinator KR Gowry created a display in the SUB to honor the 14 women whose lives were stolen in the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre.

The real problem with pretendians is the way discussions around them are driven by mainstream colonial narratives about Indigeneity. Non-indigenous folks believe themselves experts on Indigenous identity and end up muddying the waters even more. Seeing this discussed by non-Indigenous folks is...

I had to see for myself: it really says that Canada’s stablecoin initiative will “benefit men and youth". there’s no reason given why that is or why they care to specifically benefit men here. I am telling myself this is a typo or ended up here by accident because 🤯

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Only UNRWA can deliver lifesaving aid at the scale #Gaza needs. We have the network, the experience, and the trust of the community. The State of Israel must let UNRWA bring in the huge amount of aid that has been blocked in our warehouses in Jordan and Egypt since 2nd March. Let UNRWA do its work.
