NOW: I’m outside the Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, NJ where protesters are supporting detainees inside who are on a hunger and labor strike because of inhumane treatment. Follow this thread for updates.

ICE just tasered an activist they were chasing outside of Delaney Hall.

I've worked front-line for over a decade — including at Sistering, who are on strike — and our work is incredibly undervalued despite being the backbone of essential services. In fact, Bill 124 capped me at $25/hr for years, and I had three jobs to compensate. Solidarity with my fellow care workers!

Hundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'

For @thewalrus.ca, I write about Canada Post. What do we want and expect from it? And is that $1.57 billion in the red really a loss? thewalrus.ca/canada-post-...

Canada's top banker wants to take away your Charter privacy rights to share your information with the US and other "Five Eyes" surveillance countries. The Lawful Access Act is a breach of our Charter rights and freedoms. Keep our privacy out of American hands!

They are telling us how to win

Boldness would be decarbonizing as fast as possible, building massive amounts of public housing and introducing a wealth tax and a windfall fossil fuel tax. There's nothing bold about austerity and a focus on extractive industries that are both lifted straight out of the last century.

CANADA: Carney government eying curbs on right to strike, labour leaders warn www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

If you haven’t signed the new Church St Pedestrianization petition yet, I am once again asking for your signature! This one is for the city wide council vote for May 20, so please do it before then! www.experiencethevillage.ca/petition

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

Carney’s housing "plan" is a gift to developers. Over $93B of the $140B in housing measures are low-interest loans and special treatment for real estate developers—not investments in the public community housing we actually need. 🏠 #HousingCrisis

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

McGill... What the fuck is wrong with you?

Saw this on Instagram. I’ll be writing in my thoughts & concerns citing the excellent reporting from journalists @shawnmicallef.bsky.social @iandarragh.bsky.social @cloelogan.bsky.social @alexbozikovic.bsky.social I’d suggest folks do the same. www.ola.org/en/apply-com...

Part of the dynamic here is fueled by the absolute refusal to let the actual targets of these wars from being experts about their own experiences here. Instead of hearing directly from people in Lebanon, we hear from these people.

nwmd.social/s/copylink/4... This @mark-carney.bsky.social government is anti migrant. Status For All Now.

The new @tenantsunionto.bsky.social is challenging the fantasy that Canada’s housing crisis is just a supply problem. As governments bail out developers and investors, tenants are organizing around a simple political reality: housing is about power, class interests, and who cities are built for.

In November, Canada “announced a $2.7-billion cut to foreign aid over the next four years. The spring economic update, released last week, offered no hint of restoring any of this.” Canada is not the moral actor in the world that many think it is. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Resharing this thread as per news that Ford is planning on giving special constables enhanced powers. Worth a deep dive.

A women's shelter is being proposed on Bloor near Kipling station. Despite shelters being allowed in most zones now, it will still require zoning and official plan amendments because of course. Please consider writing in support, it's facing the usual opposition. www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...

It's really telling how much AI boosters don't understand the difference between "writing" and "typing."

Here is what is happening thanks to Carney letting provinces approve infrastructure projects without federal oversight. 🧵 www.mining.com/canada-scrap...

Concerned about rushed, unregulated & undemocratic AI expansion? Read this story from Saskatchewan. Unbelievable.

Doug Ford is coming for the TTC. Bill 98 proposes massive changes to the transit in Ontario and risks a complete dismantling of the TTC. If this passes the TTC Board and City Council would no longer have control over the system.

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime. Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction. And then there's this...

Note that the Carney government is *not* disentangling us from this company. They're working with Cohere, who works with Palantir.

"In her letter, Woodhouse Nepinak expressed concerns that the Carney government's focus on major project development could put First Nations at risk of similar methods today." such as Bill C-22 for example www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

Ask yourself what kind of society allows and even rewards this kind of behavior

We circulated a transit policy survey to all MP candidates in Scarborough Southwest and University-Rosedale ahead of the 2026 Federal by-elections on April 13. We received responses from the NDP and Green campaigns in both ridings. Liberals provided written statements. No response from the Cons.

It is fucking frustrating to see people saying "oh yeah? well THIS GROUP is gonna have to get in line" That's not how politics works. You have to put together a winning coalition or you do not win.

Don't forget that an #LPC majority could make it easier to ram through jets at Billy Bishop Airport given recent remarks from Carney on that matter. It's unsettling to say the least. #cdnpoli #NDP #GPC CC @normsworld.bsky.social

The federal government has ended funding for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. See how Indigenous leaders are standing up for the cause, tonight on APTN National News. Watch live: www.youtube.com/@aptnnews

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

"Tucker Collins, an 18-year-old freshman at USC, attended a 'No Kings' protest in Los Angeles on Mar. 28. He ended up getting shot in the eye with a less-lethal projectile by a Department of Homeland Security agent and is now blind."

I wonder how long it will take for Carney to release a statement urging both sides to not destroy any civilizations in Iran.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Trump’s posts and utterances are not attempts to communicate. They are a noxious, putrid, inklike substance sprayed into the discourse ocean to threaten, confuse, and dismay others who DO attempt to communicate

“For Premier Eby to suddenly say changing DRIPA is ‘non-negotiable’ and will pass this session is an absolute betrayal of everything DRIPA and of our evolving relationship with the NDP over the last decade” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip #bcpoli cheknews.ca/premier-eby-...

My whole life I've had to listen to country-club dickheads in $400 dress shirts tell me why other people should be dying

My letter to the Ministers of Immigration & Public Safety on the unjust denial of entry to MEP #RimaHassan. This last-minute reversal of her eTA raises grave concerns about political neutrality & freedom of expression in Canada.I am calling for an immediate explanation & to facilitate her entry.

Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano died in ICE custody on March 25 at Adelanto, CA. He is the 14th person to die in ICE detention in 2026. That's one death every 6 days holding with what I can only call morbid precision.
