SAVE Act would require birth cert or passport that matches voters legal name. 69M women may have a legal name that doesn’t match their birth cert. An estimated 21M would be turned away at polls. This act is an attempt to disenfranchise women voters. www.thepersistent.com/this-bill-in...

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Israeli air strikes murder at least 28 Palestinians in Gaza. The Israelis have dehumanised the population of Gaza to the point where helicopter gun ships can fire into tents filled with women and children....again and again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So what I'm hearing is that, in the last five days, two Black Members of Congress have been assaulted in apparent support of the regime's deportation diktat (Rep Frost, punched at Sundance & told he'd be deported; Rep Omar at an ICE townhall) & the regime has arrested four Black journalists. Huh.

Because having fewer people to keep our food and meds safe seems like a really good idea somehow.

Is there a good resource of anti-AI tools that already exist? Ideally I would just like an office-type suite, a web browser and search engine that all are anti-AI.

The history of sanitation is some interesting shit. I'll see myself out, but will also be marking this to read later because... it actually is a fascinating topic. 💩

Doug Ford's solicitor general is going to cost the province *so much money* in Charter litigation, you're scarcely going to believe it. Routine strip-searches in youth detention: www.thestar.com/news/gta/the... Durham cops allegedly assaulting a Black lawyer: www.thestar.com/news/gta/cla...

Let me introduce you to the carnyx. It's like a vuvuzela designed to annoy entire valleys instead of just stadiums. youtu.be/D61YKrkNkfU?...

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

If AI is so powerful, why do we need training to use it properly? Like.. we didn't offer free training to all for every other modern innovation, including some fairly complex innovations. Like... computers. Smart Phones. Dangerous and moderately complex things. Automobiles. Power tools.

Having spent too much time in the ER and Ottawa General over the holidays, I feel confident in saying that if these cuts happen, the system will stop functioning!

Heads up to Kitchener-area friends: avoid this fascist ghoul’s business.

Why was the Hwy. 8 flyover reopened after first vehicle went over the side?

An underappreciated point which I think got forgotten from older discourse is that one of the primary reasons ice needs to be shut down and abolished is that they are indistinguishable from random vigilantes. And that is why now we must all act to protect people.

Keep going!!!!!!

When you help make it so the only names people know are Pretti and Good, you reinforce the culture that says these things aren't "bad enough" until white people get involved. This has been going on for a whole year. Many non-white people have died in this same way trying to protect their neighbors.

This is negligent homicide by the Region/City. You either clear the snow properly off these elevated ramps, or you close them. www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

When I was in sales, I went to a supplier outside of Philedelphia. My memories are of the giant NRA banners greeting us at the airport; seeing more gun shops between Philly and the supplier than I had seen in my young Canadian existance; and a lot of bravado from the locals. My bet is on Philly.

Uhhhh, Ontario? We need to fucking raise hell about this globalnews.ca/news/1155832...

You know where you can find mass infant remains? right alongside and under the foundations of medieval churches. because infant mortality was heartbreakingly high and these assholes are doing everything they can to bring that back

Who else is looking at the weather forecast and playing mental Tetris to figure out where you are going to put that snow later today?

The coverage on Fox News right now is veering dangerously close to an attempt to justify the insurrection act. The host, Aishah Hasnie, keeps saying law enforcement and federal officials are outnumbered & literally used the phrase “pull the trigger” to describe Trump sending in the troops.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

It's not paranoid people on the left saying it. Even *Conservatives* think he's Harper 2.0. nationalpost.com/opinion/libe...

"A statement from the Ministry of Colleges and Universities put the blame on the federal government." Provinces have learned that this is a conversation-ender, and they will use it to avoid accountability for their decisions forever, because nobody ever challenges them on it. Ever.

When Alberta insists they want to become the "51st state," they think they'll become another Montana or Idaho. They're too stupid to understand that they will be the next Puerto Rico or Guam. Good luck with that.

Hootsuite is working with ICE to support their "social listening", but it's Hootsuite that isn't reading the room. Despite the reaction to learning they are working with ICE, Hootsuite doubled down during an internal all-hands call on Thursday. Gift link: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0bde79a...

So... If the US is an untrustworthy ally with an unstable leader of questionable mental state and acuity... Why do we still trust them? Why do we still ally with them?

Nation-building isn’t just about infrastructure and resource extraction. It’s about culture. It’s about history. It’s about our stories, and the places that tell them. This is the worst time imaginable to shut down the Register of Historic Places. nationaltrustcanada.ca/online-stori...

she mentions it in passing but look up 'Starlight Tours', this is a method Canadian police have used to kill indigenous men for decades

Worth emphasizing this side of it I think, like we’re literally talking about invading and violently stealing land from its indigenous people yet again

“There is no Canadian EV industry to destroy,” said Ian Lee, a business professor at Carleton University. “We don’t make inexpensive EVs in Canada. In fact, we don't even make expensive EVs in Canada. Most of the EVs available in Canada are coming in from the States.”

A pretty stunning reversal: there was only a 0.2% population growth in Waterloo Region last year. We have gone, at least for now, from one of Canada's fastest growing metros to one of its slowest. Between that and the water supply issue, the 2026 elections should be... interesting.

Tradwife culture is damaging because it is disguised as empowerment while limiting women’s options. It’s portrayed as a women’s place. No one should ever choose a place in life where, when their circumstances change, their life falls apart. depauliaonline.com/81536/opinio...

Ah we see your Blue Monday and raise you a Moo Blunday

When you spend a couple hours dismantling, cleaning, and generally working on your stove hood fans to get them to stop squealing, and you start them up after and the squeal is still there. At least we can work on figuring out the next step now.

You may have seen this video of a woman shooing away two ICE agents with a bat go viral. It's fake, an AI-generated video. Here's how you can tell and how to fact-check similar content:

“But should it?” The quintessential question that needs to be answered. Do we as individuals or families, that have a place to call home, really want to create spaces and places for other individuals and families to have the opportunity to have a home too? Be honest. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mini-biz update: Remaining stock is on website. Everything is 40% off. I will add some leftovers from the market in February. I have decided not to shut it down but it will be more passive for a while. Loxythemaker.com #bsnm

There is no compromising with this regime, because regimes don't compromise. These people are fascists. Fight fascists always. No playing to their language or moved goalposts. No taking their statements as legitimate and reporting them. And then PROSECUTE THEM. Every last one of them.
