This is a worthwhile listen. Avi Lewis has my attention.

Essential listening...

A brilliant interview! Essential reading for all Canadians. Capitalism And Colonialism: How Modern Canada Was Made www.readthemaple.com/capitalism-a...

Lots of people spreading disinformation today that there’s some nefarious reason no female hostages were released. It’s literally just because women, child n and men over 50 were released under a previous ceasefire deal.

This episode is essential listening...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in Israel “plunged the region into a devastating war.” That’s how an Associated Press article opens – one that some of Canada’s largest news outlets published today. But Oct. 7 wasn’t the day this started. Today, with @cjjpmedia.bsky.social, I'm giving a history lesson:

Yes. This actually happens. It's inhumane.

Canadian governments continually treat Indigenous title as a “policy issue” rather than a legal obligation and fundamental right. @rileyyesnomaybe.bsky.social asks: Why must Indigenous people fear for the protection of these rights with the arrival of every new government? thewalrus.ca/trc-land/

I had to stop watching the press conference because it was literally making me sick. When your president can't even pronounce acetaminophen, and the Drs and scientists working for him spew unscientific bullshit and don't seem to know the difference between correlation and causation, you're doomed.

Tylenol does NOT cause autism. When Trump & RFK announce this, don't believe the lies. Also, don't believe it when they try to tell you that folinic acid (leucovorin) is the cure. You know who sells folinic acid supplements? Dr. Oz. You know who Dr. Oz works for now? Yeah. You do. Follow the money.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

I'm listening...

Ahem...

Hey, Canada! Let that sink in...

Trey Reed. Mississippi. The authorities say no foul play is suspected. Riiiiight.

What happened after Canadian journalist @rachelgilmore.bsky.social posted about the potential repercussions of Kirk’s murder: doxxing and violent threats thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Meanwhile, "give them lethal injections," Brian Kilmeade, still has his job at Fox. 🤬

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people. It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

The Groyper Wars

One thing that kinda blows my mind: I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am. I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it. But English-language Canadian media? Crickets. It’s just so odd!

Every word @benjaminfaye.bsky.social writes on the Charlie Kirk situation, go read it. Especially you, my fellow white folks - because we are cluelss and embarrassing AF. Get it together.

To all the people suddenly up in arms about violence not being the answer, what have you done or said about any of this?

Hey, fellow Ontarians! How does Doug Ford have so many people fooled? He's such an embarrassment. Ugh.

This is essential listening, folks.

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Air Canada flight attendants are freaking heroes. We need more of this.

Godspeed Chicago.

I can't believe we're doing the whole, "tylenol causes autism" thing again. Faaaaaack. Like, the dude can't even come up with a new false claim. He just recycles old debunked bullshit.

More badass journalism by Rachel Gilmore. Hey Canada, are we paying attention? Where are the elbows now?

Danielle Smith is so gross. Bootlicker to the patriarchy. The rest of Canada needs to start asking ourselves how we prevent this facist backslide from happening in other provinces. I mean, the answer is easy, NEVER vote for a conservative party. But it seems a lot of people still don't get that.

WTAF, Alberta?! We just can't get rid of this cancerous tumor and his hosts. I mean, supporters. Clearly, people have learned absolutely nothing watching the shit show to our south play out. Or they've been sucked down the RW "media"/influencer rabbit hole into the cesspool of lies. I could cry.

Solidarity with Air Canada Flight Attendants. Hold the line. I hope this situation sets a precedent.

There’s such a constant stream of bad that it almost gets normalized, but there are still things that stop you dead in your tracks.

*BREAKING* Active Manhattan shooting. Shooter is now dead; pedophile president still at large.

Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵

Shame on our government. I don't need your useless tax cuts. I need you to have a soul and a sense of mortality and integrity.

Hey, fellow Canadians. In case you didn't know this - you should.

Sharon I bloody died Sharon. Sharon they sent me to bloody heaven. Where are the bloody flames Sharon. Sharon it’s all bloody choir music up here Sharon. Sharon for fucks sake all the white is bloody blinding me up here Sharon

WTF, indeed. So disappointing. So infuriating.

Mark Carney, I'm lookin' at you. ‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost - iPolitics share.google/HNC2X0k2szLN...

Hey, fellow Canadians! If you have listened to this yet, you definitely should.

Godspeed to all sane Americans. I'm so sorry you're living this nightmare. May you get through it with your sanity and humanity in tact. May those who chose and are still supporting this lunacy be on the receiving end of what you voted for - THAT level of ignorance and hate deserves no quarter.

Inspired by the fabulous conference hosted by @ndhumanities.bsky.social here is a new starter pack of researchers, advocates and organisations all working hard to make the world a better place for Neurodivergent/ Disabled and other marginalised communities. Space for more go.bsky.app/6ftC1uS

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

Yep

WTAF is wrong with this woman?

From the U.K. We are even more lagging in Canada. There seems to be little understanding of, and no attention paid to the fact that Autistics (and ADHDer/AuDHDers) age like everyone else. Autism doesn't end at 18 as our healthcare system/social service agencies/governments seem to think it does.

HELL YES, PRIDE! As we fight like demons to celebrate and protect LGBTQIA+ rights, remember that autistic people are more likely than other folks to be LGBTQIA+. Yes, that includes autistics who are non-speaking and/or have intellectual disability. Research says so: www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...
