We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future. A future marked by scarcity and disaster. A future these people are accelerating. That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality. Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

So the management of Canada Post are simultaneously claiming that they need to shrink the service because its losing money, while promising to keep the aspect of it that guarantees to be the biggest money loser going forward. Either it's a necessary service or it isn't, make up your fucking minds.

🚨BREAKING: today UK healthcare workers were joined by Amnesty activists to demand the release of Dr Abu Safiya and all of the 105 Palestinian healthcare workers who remain illegally detained in Israeli prisons.

Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov says Trump’s “PEACE” banner at the summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt alongside the photo-op with dozens of foreign leaders reminds him of George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner in 2003, when Bush prematurely declared victory in Iraq. “We have a long long way to...

NEW: After years of Canada claiming it won't support Azov Brigade due to its far-right ideology and neo-Nazi links, the Canadian Defence Attache in Ukraine met with Azov at the Embassy this summer. An Azov contact said it was a “friendly and open dialogue.” www.readthemaple.com/canadian-emb...

BREAKING: Al-Awda Hospital is reporting that at least six Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces bombed a tent housing forcibly displaced people in Abu Salim, west of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/fq90eh

It remains wild to me how adamant the public broadcaster seems to be that Canada Post be whittled down and ultimately privatized, with no seeming realization that same pressure will eventually come for the CBC too if it succeeds with the postal service.

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

We do have the power to stop this...

24 years of satellite data reveal a dynamic, cyclic pattern of ice shelf damage across Antarctica. Damage, linked to flow acceleration, strain, and thinning, shows strong sensitivity to climate warming, suggesting current models may underestimate future retreat. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

This morning while cycling the Oakland hills I was zoned out when an older lady suddenly appeared on my left and slowly passed me near the top of a hill. I don’t get a bruised ego and in fact love seeing older people fitter than me. Gives me hope, esp as today is my birthday 1/3 #bikesky

The most Minnesotan protest sign. #NoKings

At this family friendly event, a lady in an SUV tried to drive through the crowd because her daughter had to get to a soccer game and refused to do a u-turn. This is exactly what we mean when say drivers are entitled in this city. Unreal.

Love this: "we need to effectively communicate that the vast majority of people around the world are willing to act against climate change and expect their national government to act."

The Trump administration recently bought stakes in two Vancouver mining companies and has shown interest in a project north of Prince George. How the materials would be used is unclear — but it’s unlikely to be green energy. My latest for @thetyee.ca. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

In our non-DEI meritocracy, Larry Ellison's son bought CBS so that Bari Weiss could then put her sister on air.

still absolutely bonkers to me that the province didn't step in and take over from greyhound when they left

"There were 47 members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. "Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died."

In light of this horrific incident, and years of residents demanding change with no action from the city, we're helping support a "stroll in" protest tomorrow. Meet at 16th and Willow at 1pm (maybe with an umbrella ☔) and let's tell the city that it's time to make our streets safe.

New analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days after the federal election show oil and gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records. Environmental groups couldn’t get a word in. thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

Palestinians are struggling to identify bodies returned by Israel under the Gaza ceasefire deal, many showing signs of torture and execution. Some appear to have been run over by tanks. Meanwhile, Israel has extended the detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, held without charge since December.

Arthi has only been in our care two months, but he has already impressed Nursery Head Keeper Edwin with his mature demeanour. Little Wamata was initially jealous of the newcomer and tried to bully him. However, she has since come to respect his quiet strength. Support Arthi: swt.bio/arthi

In an era when Canada is touting critical minerals as a way to lessen it's dependence on the United States, the U.S. government is taking direct ownership in Canadian critical minerals companies... And Canada isn't stopping it www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Thanks for the great coverage on our housing policy, @jamimakan.bsky.social / BIV! Renters in B.C. have the worst deal in Canada, with 1 in 6 spending over half their income on rent. We need to crack down on greedy landlords with vacancy control and massively scale non-market housing. #bcpoli

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame. tinyurl.se/crR

Israel sent back Greta Thunberg’s luggage scrawled with “Whore Greta”, an Israeli flag, and a penis.
