King's books, many of which i have read and enjoyed, are conspicuously absent from Bad Indians Book Club. In case you were wondering if this was something a lot of us already knew.

A shameful day for Ontario.

After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low. European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths! Me in @theguardian.com

It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible. It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

Carney's budget claims Canada's anti-greenwashing law led to “some parties slowing or reversing efforts to protect the environment.” The government couldn't name any examples when I asked. Experts say the risks are exaggerated and the law could be working as intended thenarwhal.ca/greenwashing...

“Meta shut down internal research into the mental health effects of Facebook after finding causal evidence that its products harmed users’ mental health, according to unredacted filings in a lawsuit by U.S. school districts against Meta and other social media platforms.”

Very dissappointing to see lawyers use Indigenous law in such a self serving way. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Pleasantly surprised to see that this looks like it actually might happen, rather than being ignominiously buried with the rest of the good parts of the 2025 Liberal platform.

for days we got the "Showdown with Socialism" buildup only to get the payoff of Trump essentially saying "wow this socialist guy fuckin rules. I, on the other hand, am a fascist". what a country. what an era bsky.app/profile/self...

The New School is now a place where students cannot major in History, Anthropology, Sociology, Global Policy & International Affairs, Global Studies, Urban Studies, or Environmental Studies. And more pauses, closures, and mergers coming down the pike this week. The future is uncertain.

I found Sarah McBride in this profile condescending and tone deaf. If I hadn't already written 3 pieces this week I'd have written on it today, and I may still. www.advocate.com/politics/sar...

All of this was predicted. A lot of people chose racism and xenophobia anyway.

The Carney government wants to pare back aspects of Canada’s anti-greenwashing law, telling @meyer.bsky.social it prevents the fossil fuel industry and other groups from sharing their environmental claims. Critics say the law might be working as intended. thenarwhal.ca/greenwashing...

Philosophers told me that I had to do the work of reconstructing this person’s arguments and defending the morality of my life to this person because she’s a serious feminist scholar

new paper by Sean Westwood: With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

We are losing so much time fighting fights that should have been put to bed years ago. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“We want our lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers," said Gilmar, an Indigenous leader from the Tupinamba community near the lower reaches of the Tapajos River in Brazil.

I "love" that I opened radio-canda info and the four top articles were: federal and alberta want a pipeline through BC; Saskatchewan support the pipeline; BC reduces electric car ambitions; and record health impact of climate change. Things are looking so good ... 🙃

I've said it before and I will say it again many times, people using "AI" to design and deliver 'teaching' to students, to mark their work, and in this case to (!) generate literal voice overs are risking their jobs, and frankly they *should* be at risk if they do this sort of thing:

When you start letting corporations lie for profit, you end up with society no longer knowing what's really going on. "The risk here is they’re going to let companies make up their own definitions and their own rules, and this is going to result in really weak standards"- @climatekeith.bsky.social

This is the exact phrase used on trans people and our healthcare. Now it's being used to eliminate access to vaccines and kill children with preventable diseases.

elizabeth may saying she can vote for the budget because mark carney said he’s committed to the paris climate targets even as he guts climate policy and pushes a wave of massive fossil fuel projects is laughable. the longer she stays, the more of a laughing stock the green party becomes.

This is rape culture. This is why so many people don’t come forward. A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her. She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it. Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
