BREAKING: On the 39th anniversary of the founding of ACT UP, protestors have shut down traffic outside Grand Central demanding “Money for AIDS and healthcare, not for ICE and warfare.”

They will seize the surplus capital and nationalize it! I'm sure Marx could've said it better but this is Carney.

Eurovision = white privilege. Or am I missing something here? Do they accept any non-Euro countries that aren't majority-white populations?

Maybe a depressing take, but: as fascism takes over, it is not the resistance that goes viral And until it is no longer taking over, it is taking over -- even if there's a few election wins or a big protest every few months or one city in active revolt for a couple months. Break insularity bubbles

Trumptalk has insidiously seeped its way into public journalist worldview. Everyone who says Trump is incompetent and blah blah blah: just look at how he has *intentionally* shifted American society. Didn't understand? Now you do. Want to stay in denial? I'm sure you can get some good likes on here

This could have been me behind bars. I'm a trans woman. I have zines and I read them and share them with friends. I have the zine about "Zines are not a crime" written by one of the Prairieland prisoners. I'm fucking scared ya'll. and devastated. and really hurt.

The context issue is how to combat willfull widespread disinfo spread by the people who own the means of production. #Marx #McLuhan

if you want to understand what happened at the Prairieland noise demo on July 4, 2025, go check out the series of videos created from the actual trial footage, shown in court during the federal trial in Feb/March 2026. link: https://prairielanddefendants.com/what-really-happened-at-prairieland/

Also I don't know if it's implied or not, but to be clear: America also doesn't elect anarchist because anarchists are against this system of governance so an anarchist running for Congress or Senate is an oxymoron and not an anarchist. Plus saying anarchists are "extremists" can be unpacked well.

It's almost like the QT under this was bait. Or just something everyone wanted to light up.

... and so we have to tell those people: 'Stop waiting and do something!' "What will you do in this time of great failures and great injustices? What will you do? How will you help each other? How will you help yourselves?" -statement from Benjamin "Champagne" Song, sentenced to 100 yrs yesterday

what, like think for yourself??? what is this place then, if it won't serve you pre-prepared well-cooked worldviews?

See @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social QT ⬇️ for needed context. "Shooter, 7 others sentenced to decades in prison after violent incident at Texas ICE facility | Associated Press Benjamin Song sentenced to 100 years in prison, others get sentences from 30 to 70 years." #antifa #ICE #Prairieland #Texas

The shooting attack in Montreal in a Jewish neighbourhood was an attack on the Pornhub headquarters by an incel. The Pornhub HQ happens to be in the neighbourhood. It was not a terrorist attack against Jewish people, despite how it is being framed by some pro-Israel media and pro-Israel advocates.

At a meeting today: a 55-year veteran corporate radio media journalist telling some community radio people "It's 2026, this is how you do radio now." I wasn't thinking clearly enough at the time to laugh. The station has not been managed well, now this guy is (undemocratically) the key partner.

How Gaza Was Disappeared from the News by @eveottenberg.bsky.social "By moderating the Gaza genocide, Trump achieved what Genocide Joe Biden, with his obnoxious refusal even symbolically, even deceitfully – like Trump – to lift a finger for the Palestinians, could not, and that is silence."

While the who's-who of Canadian Israeli advocacy is up in arms about Palestinian Authority ambassador meeting with Canadian Museum of Human Rights about the Nakba exhibit b/c #ForeignInterference The National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa has the Embassy of Israel in Canada listed as its top partner

it's much more social popular to preach to the choir but "The well educated activist, certain of positions arrived at among similar people, can mistake the work of persuasion for the work of correction. This is poison for a mass movement" vs an ethical imperative to treat every person with respect

headlines: Quebec law against hijab is still super racist. Shilling for Israel has obstacles with general public acceptance. First trillionaire of world is currently lending his support to racist riots in Ireland (they're not quite pogroms yet, but they sure seem to be aspiring to that).

A possible side effect of antipsychotics (aka neuroleptics, fka chemical lobotomies) is 'tardive dyskinesia', a similar thing of repeated involuntary movements. One other similarity between Benadryl and most antipsychotics, is they both block histamine receptors. Is that the cause? I don't know.

Listening to interview with author @brentvans.com about his new novel, The Peace Thieves, I heard a shout out to I assume @davidpugliese.bsky.social ('An Ottawa Citizen reporter who uncovered that Canadian Peacekeeping Forces had actively engaged in combat in the Balkans, unbeknownst to the public')

ONE WEEK LEFT to pitch a zine about 2SLGBTQIA+ history in so-called Quebec, and I could not be more thrilled to introduce the dream team who will be selecting the 4 zines to be published! sheerspite.ca/2slgbtqia-qc...

Alberta will light on fire and Chretien will not know how to put it out, but they will interview him about it later anyways.

Canada thinks China is spying on us so they can steal our secrets from OC Transpo. lol #ottawa #foreigninterference

It turns out other people know more about Malcolm Gladwell than me (and I'm fine with that)

Down at the Grebe Factory interviewing the new apprentices for the Western Grebe Taxi Service, I'll thread in stills/video as I process them As a primer, here's THE BEST WESTERN GREBE MATING RITUAL FOOTAGE OF MY LIFE Warning on this thread: too cute for doom Skip to :41 for just rushing. 🪶 🐣

Union members faced flash-bangs & tear gas earlier this week as they attempted to topple steel fencing blocking a main route to the Zocalo, the heart of the city's historic centre (site of an under-construction #FIFA fan zone). "I am against any form of repression," Mexico President Sheinbaum said.

"We've tripled our Muslim population..." In the past he rightfully called out Ben Shapiro as being one of the main social media accounts the Quebec Mosque shooter frequented and now he speaks at conferences with him using the same rhetoric.

Text 'PHALLIC' to the 'POTUS' for big news

"Summer of 2020 was no Summer of Love. But it was a summer that was supposed to mean something. The next few years were aimed at convincing us that it didn’t, and that we were foolish to believe it would. The real crime was compassion. The real crime was noticing & caring & wanting to make it right"

What would happen if moms listened to the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Police, Fleetwood Mac, etc... would it turn everything upside down?

It's not only Doug Ford who is against cyclists in Ontario

Ottawa’s Infrastructure Deficit Summed Up: 1) Dig a big hole (debt financing, taxes lower than city inflation, and inefficient spending choices) 2) Reject the fixes necessary to fill the hole (better spending choices, focus on existing assets, taxes at city inflation) 3) Continue digging hole

I saw a video of bobby just this morning catching two snakes with his bare hands, and now this. He's on a roll. Next he will bring in the intersectionality angle - of circumcision and of whatever else it is that causes autism, the scurge of our modern living. (/S)
