Where did these Epstein folks find the time to do anything given the volume of their emailing? It’s almost parodic how much they liked to chat about crimes in their dumb emails.

At least I have lived long enough to see Canada learn how to make television.

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars? These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research. So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

yeah but retail theft tho

Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

The vast majority of ICE’s violence is never reported on. The only reason more people haven’t died is luck. They’re using lethal force on a regular basis. Every detail in this story is sickening.

Good article with an overly optimistic headline. It is great to see those lines revived, but there are wide swaths of this country that are very far from a revival. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

There is a lot to be said about Catherine O’Hara, and one of them Is that her Moira Rose gave us a version of motherhood beyond the usual pop culture choice of selfless saint or broken failure, of an eccentric, self-absorbed & deeply annoying woman who remains a good mother: youtu.be/iyMrBdyrusY

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

In a statement posted to social media, the Assembly of First Nations said it “has heard reports that some First Nation citizens have been subjected to increased questioning and detainment” by ICE. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #canpoli

Who is Carney’s historian? I mean, who’s advising him on these wild and very nostalgic historical exegeses?

Crystal Fraser and Manouchka Otis are two Indigenous women that were amongst a group of people that were recently honoured at a ceremony held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. They were honoured for their contributions to Canadian history.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Let’s keep talking about infrastructure, about an infrastructure gap 150 years in the making, about infrastructure as colonialism, rendering some places perpetually precarious and often unliveable.

This thread right here from Winnipeg Center MP Leah Gazan.

So inspired by our comrades in Minneapolis, generations of multi-racial resistance to anti-Black carceral warfare on full display.

ICE is ordering armoured vehicles from Canada. If you don't think Canadian military equipment should be used to terrorize and murder civilians, you might send your objections to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs committee: [email protected] Story: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I wrote a short essay for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Welcome To Hell World about Minneapolis' opposition to ICE. www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

Sending love and solidarity to our friends, relatives and neighbours to the south. Stay warm and ICE out!

as a Canadian it is my solemn duty to inform you all that Heated Rivalry is not an accurate depiction of what it’s like to date someone who has spent the entirety of their formative years sustaining head injuries at 5 in the morning

A new Sandy and Nora is out! Wednesday are the new days of publication for us and this week, waiting allowed us to dedicate the episode to understanding Carney at Davos. If you're looking for a leftwing perspective and critique -- here you go. sandyandnora.com/episode-358-...

Ornkey Library and Archives offers accessible, inexpensive and easy to access service, even at a difference. It makes a girl think differently about provincial and federal archives in Canada.

An anti-colonial international law intervention means standing with Greenland, not with Denmark @cschwobelpatel.bsky.social criticallegalthinking.com/2026/01/19/g...

It’s not hard to define patriarchy these days.

Somebody needs to do a deep dive into this CROP.

‘We are very much one people’: Dozens rally in Iqaluit (Canada) in solidarity with Greenlanders

Somebody please wake me up from this fever dream.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

wrote about the occupation in minnesota with a closing note on how the white house has exactly one tactic — repression with goons — but no particular strategy for dealing with entrenched resistance. gift link.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

There are many ways to help.

I hope our friends, relatives and colleagues across the line in Minnesota know that we are with them.

Well this is alarming: ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

Nothing good can come out of Mark Carney going to Prince Rupert.

I’m proud of our neighbours across the line in Minnesota who keep showing up & speaking up and & acting up. It’s easier said than done but they are doing it.

All the lies they're telling about Renee Good are in service of an even bigger lie: that individual human lives have no intrinsic worth and are therefore theirs to dispose of. publiccomment.blog/p/the-poison...

infrastructure + colonialism.

I wish there were clearer and more effective ways to stand with our relations in Minnesota, in Greenland, in Venezuela.
