Holy shit. How did I just learn that Lindsay Graham's predecessor was Strom Thurmond. The guy who had the longest filibuster on record...against the Civil Rights Act at 24 hours and 18 mins. And how did I just learn that Strom lived until 2003.

Everyone's talkin' about Mitch McConnell missing. Hell - the Ontario Legislature has been missing in action ever since our premier called for a 21-week summer break...this being after sitting in power for only 30 days after a 14-week recess in winter. I am in the wrong field of work lol. #cdnpoli

New Groundbreaker Book Review: 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always been Against This' is a hard-hitting critique of the West and the hypocrisy that underpins it when it comes to war, and genocide. Full of human anger, it will haunt you. thegroundbreaker.ca/one-day/ #booksky #canada #bookreview

Lots of smoke up here in Northern Ontario. Forest fire season. If you're in the area, be smart and don't stay out too long in the smoke. Also, it's time to run those HEPA purifiers if ya got one. Keep up to date on fires in Ontario because you'll never know if you may need to evacuate!

Mark Carney sold out Cuba at the UN. If you are lobbyist for a pesticide company or an oil giant looking for a handout he's got your back but a nation being crushed by an illegal blockade? Well that's another story. Call your Liberal MP and ask why. canadiannetworkoncuba.ca/2026/07/07/c...

Picked up a kitten for my coworker today. He has to sleep over until work tomorrow. Darn. 😍

I legitimately have no flesh in the game as a Canadian, but the fact that British national hemorroid Nigel Farage could face Count Binface (a joke candidate wearing a trash can as a helmet) and possibly lose is amazing. Pls do the funny thing. Vote in the magic trashcan man, please. I need this.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. They're in! I love new books! #books #booksky #sci-fi

Just finished 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This', by Omar El Akkad. Woof. That was heavy. Powerful and well-crafted. Hits hard about the hypocrisy of the West towards genocide, empire, and war. Going to have to take a few days to get my thoughts straight. #booksky #books

Local toddler headbutted my glasses off and then attempted to lick the inside of my nose.

Just ordered two collection boxsets of both Philip K. Dick and Ursula K. Le Guin's work. I legitimately cannot wait to get my hands on them. I have woefully been neglecting reading Le Guin's novels for so long and I cannot wait to start! #booksky #books

Sega has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now. Announce the Dreamcast 2.

On and on it goes. Another tribunal. Another finding. Another confirmation of what Survivors, Elders, families, and communities have been saying for generations. Reports pile up. Evidence grows. The accountability doesn't. The pattern isn't in dispute anymore. The response still is. #canada

Look at this guy 🥰

I really do miss the voice of Ed Broadbent in the Canadian political discussion nowadays. Still very relevant. Very happy that he lives on through the work of the Broadbent Institute though. #canada #cdnpoli #edbroadbent

New Groundbreaker Book Review: The Bylaw State looks at how Canadian cities manage homelessness through enforcement instead of housing. Important, clear-eyed read on encampments, public space, and policy failure. Read it here: thegroundbreaker.ca/bylawstate/ #booksky #canada #bookreview

Yesterday's pipeline announcement is yet another reminder that Prime Minister Carney cares more about lining the pockets of his corporate friends than upholding the Constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples and protecting the public from the escalating climate emergency. (1/6)

Prioritize air conditioning for people, especially our disabled and the eldery. Not fucking A.I. centres. Let them meltdown in the heat for all I care. The fact that this is a thing in North America is a good reason why we should absolutely discuss late-stage capitalism and the climate crisis.

Book order came in! Two non-fiction books and one fiction novel. All Canadian authors! The Bylaw State, One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, and The Caretaker. I'm thinking I'm gonna blast through this and review them. #newbooks #booksky #canada #canadianauthors

Under no circumstances should we be heeding the orders of a genocidal nation like isreal.

World leaders are increasingly saying the postwar liberal world order is dead. And, the ruling classes in the Global North have an answer for what will replace it: fascism. Will they be able to implement their vision? Check out the latest Monitor now: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Canada is also not immune to this thinking. My small Northern Ontario mining town has completely transformed over the last 5 years or so. We removed benches, access to public washrooms, etc. We have a poverty and opioid crisis and our response is to dehumanize and hope they disappear. #canada

Happy #CanadaDay! 🍁🫎🦫 Today I celebrate a country where democracy is worth defending, class solidarity is worth building, and the promise of Canada is still ahead of us, never behind us! Here's to a freer, fairer, more just future for everyone. I hope everyone's beers (or pop!) are icy tonight!

Sony makes it official. No more physical Playstation games as of 2028. This is, no exaggeration, likely to be the single most anti-consumer, choice-limiting, destructive-to-the-medium decision in the entire history of videogames. A tragedy bordering on a crime. kotaku.com/sony-ending-...

Sony's decision to end physical disc production in 2028 is going to further cement the fact that you will never truly own any software that you purchase now. I hope this is something that is fought against immensely. This will be wildly anti-consumer. #gaming #physicalmedia

Inspiring to see so many people pushing back against corporate AI data centres, unleashed in their communities without democratic debate. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... /1

They’re going to call you a socialist regardless. So be a socialist.

Due to licensing, the film you bought is no longer available. Me:

Vanilla Bean sees all your sins and judges you accordingly

From r/CanadaSoccer. Do you believe in miracles, Canada! Hahaha. We have a rough path ahead, but miracles do happen! #canada #worldcup

Theyve mobilized faster against this than anything in the past 10 years and to me that pretty much says it all and justifies what so many have said about them collectively for anyone willing to pay attention

Welp. Power button is non-responsive on the gaming rig. Mobo's logo has power, same w the GPU. Other than that, my pc won't power up. Checked the front panel cabling, and that looks good. Shittt. Ugh, love waking up to random monday tech issues lol. #pcgaming

HISTORY IN THE MAKING! LET’S GOOOOOOO CANADA!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This. We should fight for better protections and way better control over our data as Canadians.

What a hansum lil man

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

yes, yes, the guy that dogwalked you & is delivering on his promises & makes you look exactly as bad at your job as you are -- yes, that guy "has work to do!" I bet Mamdani is *shaking* they are so bad at thissss 🤡

The Manitoba director of @policyalternatives.ca, @mollymccracken.bsky.social, is calling on the province to impose a windfall profits tax on the big grocery stores and use the revenue derived from that tax to help those Manitobans most in need. @ccpamb.bsky.social www.brandonsun.com/opinion/2026...

The fun thing is with these laws, everyone becomes a communist! TV writers write a program that is anti-war? Anti-american! Unionized? You're a commie and hurting the prosperity of America! Protestor? You're pinko commie scum. Immigrant? Not human and probably a secret communist.

Why am I not surprised. Rather than see that folks on main street want a political shift towards material policies that directly affect the working class, they do everything to protect capital and party status quo. Fight rw nationalists, not progressives who fight for low rent and livable cities.

Mamdani keeps delivering on his signature promises, including those on which critics said he'd never be able to pull it off—like a rent freeze. The landlord class is of course appalled.

Yet another studio laying off. I hope this structuring includes a reduction in executive overhead and paycuts and freezes for management. Game development is art in an industry that treats its workers as disposable as it caters to stockholders. I can't imagine the untold stories lost to layoffs.

Kevin!

🎉New Groundbreaker Blog Post🎉 The old neoliberal consensus is dead. The question now is who fills the vacuum: the nationalist right or possibly a rising democratic socialist left. New at the Groundbreaker: thegroundbreaker.ca/2026/06/25/t...

Possibly might be the cutest kitten photo I’ve ever taken omfg

Wee skrunkleton. Postcard from my collection, 1955.

People calling leftist candidates radical are acting like abolishing ICE, taking on corruption, and stopping genocide are a bad thing

The reaction of a former DNC chair to Democrats winning Democratic primaries, everyone. It's a big tent, until you ingrates on the left start acting like you deserve to be in it.

The real thing to watch is not only the Trump admin's actions, but also the reaction of centrist and establishment democrats towards these sentences. Watch how many go quiet or even cheer on these injustices, because they benefit from a valid opposition to the status quo in America.
