Huge result here and the CA jury still deliberating. The idea that social platforms are defective products is going to pick up a lot of steam: www.theverge.com/policy/89991...

I think one of my biggest regrets over the years has been not emphasizing enough the connection between anti-trans and anti-gender politics as a function of authoritarian consolidation. Nearly every autocratic country uses anti-gender policies to consolidate power and push boundaries.

declassified RCMP files confirm Canada's domestic intelligence agency infiltrated and sought to disrupt legitimate political Indigenous organizations in the 1970s, in an extensive program of covert surveillance, informants and countersubversion www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

I...I don't like the implications of this. Uh...are we in season 6...? 😬☠️

Parks Power Affordability! When our public spaces are well-funded, well-maintained, and prioritized, we are all better off mentally, physically, and financially. Take it from a career urban planner. Thank you @ny4p.bsky.social for having me on the steps of City Hall to demand better

The Liberal government is “appalled” at the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is causing economic damage. Yet it is utterly silent at the blockade of Cuba, which is causing death to innocents. That’s not only incoherent, it’s immoral.

Really cannot overstate how bonkers the heat wave out West is. Just obliterating records. 🧪

"The war and the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are pushing more people to recognize that fossil fuel is politically as well as environmentally devastating."

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

And, you know, staggering sexism

Particularly frustrating is that a lot of this has been really targeted against science.

This is infuriating. 45 % cut to ECCC, 69 % cut to DFO. Environment and Climate Change Canada + Department of Fisheries and Oceans are two of the hardest hit branches of Canada's government. Where are all the @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social defenders now? #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1173746...

There isn't a way out of the crises we've created without raising taxes. If you've been convinced otherwise, it's because of rich people who have bought up the media that you consume. This is a take derived from @volts.wtf talk of why society thinks what they do.

This is absolutely brilliant. Instigated by Gordon Brown, delivered today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are at least three major news stories about sexual assault and abuse of power by men in prominent positions this week. Government, labor, academia; the culture is everywhere, and women disproportionally bear the weight of the consequences. If this week feels extra heavy, be kind to yourself.

"The vision Kat was offering wasn’t about carving the electorate into pieces and deciding which ones to fight for. It was the radical (apparently) idea that a better world is possible for everyone, and that a political party should be in the business of trying to build one." Bingo. And great essay.

“Progressive taxation is the single most important policy lever for reducing the power of the rich—not because it raises revenue that can be redistributed via public programs or directly to the poor, but because it imposes a de facto statutory maximum on income or wealth.” @econmarshall.bsky.social

Re Chavez: Thread for sexual assault survivors/victims (however you see yourself is ok!) and people supporting them today. Here are some things that I think are useful. I am not an expert, just someone who has been navigating being public about my experiences, including in media interviews. 🧵

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

A dozen years ago in Canada PM Stephen Harper's tell when he was misleading you was "We have been very clear on this"

To all of these men in particular who cannot understand why sexual assault that occurred decades ago still matters. I was sexually assaulted twenty six years ago. I am closer to fifty than forty. I still will not get on elevator with men if I am by myself. That's why it matters.

2/ Now read Dan Froomkin, commenting on this news: "Billionaire media entrepreneur Robert Albritton announced that he is bankrolling 'the next great Washington newsroom.'” presswatchers.org/2026/03/wash... Albritton seeks, of course, "readers from every part of the political spectrum." Dan says:

A Russian oil tanker is heading toward Cuba, according to shipping data, challenging U.S. restrictions after Trump threatened tariffs in January on countries supplying the island. Recent easing of some Russian oil sanctions amid the Iran war is further complicating enforcement.

Spicy day to be an outdoor Icemaker. Day 112 for the ODR in Winnipeg. Freezing rain is OK if there's no snow on the rink, it just gets pebbly and you can flood it out. But rain mixed with snow means way too much air gets into the ice because snow is mostly air. This has been your rink lesson. 🧊

Has Canada sent the aid it promised to Cuba yet?

So, uh, I have some news.

Cuba is on the verge of mass suffering, even deaths, from blackouts caused by the illegal US energy blockade. This is a superpower violating international law against a much smaller state. Where’s the principled condemnation, Mr. Carney? #ForgetDavos
