The fucking audacity of liberals to say that communism always fails while they see capitalist nations band together in an act of intentional starvation against Cuba is so bloody maddening.

On the Environment and Climate Change cuts. Remember when Carney ran partly on climate credibility - the whole sustainable finance framing? From @nolore.bsky.social : open.substack.com/pub/noralore...

The Carney government's actions would certainly lead Trump to believe he can do anything he wants to Cuba, as they have refused to even condemn the oil blockade, let alone take meaningful action in solidarity. Canada must send oil to Cuba now!

Horrific. Death to US imperialism The condition of their electrical grid is inseparable from the decades long embargo and current blockade www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Urgent! The Liberals are trying to force through Bill C-9 this week. It is being cynically advanced as an "anti-hate" bill but but will criminalize protest in large areas of major cities. Our full statement: communist-party.ca/defeat-bill-... Sign the petition! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Absolutely horrific. Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate. C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation. A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.

Today, all but 22 Canadian MPs declared they stand on the side of genocidal terrorism and bending the knee to the United States. Elbows down!

Highly recommend this for anyone who has ever caught themselves repeating "facts" about Stalin without thinking critically about why they think what they do. The PDF is available for free on the Iskra website.

And yet we just keep voting, writing polite emails to our MPs/MPPs that go unanswered, arguing online about which politicians have the best 'ideas', like it matters, and only protesting where and how they allow. That'll show em!

The relational nature of humanity was and is experienced as an annoyance. This has intensified in atomised modernity. This is unsustainable; we must lean into this relational fact - politically, socially, and ecologically - rather than run from it.

Rachel Gilmore was intimidated by Nazis wearing open totempkofs at a private event for her reporting on their secret fight club. Jesse Brown ignored that and instead compared pro-Palestine activists to the KKK. Sounds like he's really concerned about antisemitism! Article by @nolore.bsky.social

the three primary sources for the intelligence in the crypto investigation are two countries currently engaged in an all out assault on iran, plus a blockchain analytics firm that SELLS COMPLIANCE TOOLS to governments and exchanges.

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.

Of course the IDU's best banker is a war criminal. There's no world in which this piece of shit doesn't crawl up Trump and Netanyahu's arsehole. Fuck Mark Carney.

Mark Carney is an imperialist.

I don’t even know what to say atp. Down with Israel and the United States. Down with imperialist capitalism.
