Ken Sim offered a private apology to Councillor Orr. An apology is not a defence to a defamation lawsuit. It’s not a public retraction. He doesn’t tell us where this “incorrect information” came from. If the facts are untrue, can the comment be “fair”? vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/02/26/v...

⚡️Major victory for Indigenous Peoples in Brazil 🏹After 33 days of powerful mobilization – with thousands of Indigenous leaders occupying a Cargill facility in Santarém – the Brazilian government has revoked a decree that would have opened Amazonian waterways to private concessions…

The Canadian version of this is called "starlight tours" where police drop off Indigenous people in remote areas so they die in the cold. You can do these things if you're in a job that requires you to switch off your humanity. #acab

In the #HoC for Friday #QP. Nater in the Big Chair. Barrett leads off, wants the government to work with them on Poilievre’s ideas from his speech. Joly thanks them, says Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington today, and thanks Poilievre for copying their plans.

This needs to be talked about more - police frequently harass and try to criminalize the families and loved ones of the folks they have killed, especially when they have been vocal.

Explicitly capitalist media is telling you that getting/continuing to get COVID is really bad for you and is, mortifyingly, still doing more to warn you than most public health leaders are. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... 🎁 Link below

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

Jay Treaty Border Alliance says guidance from Canada advising First Nations peoples to use Canadian passports when crossing the US-Canada border undermines their inherent right to cross as citizens of FN and the principle of Indigenous self-determination. www.jaytreatyborderalliance.com

Welcome to the resistance Mr Mayor!

All Black people are impacted by the N word, not just the Black people you want to tokenize for discursive purposes

“The body registers the effect of the word and not the intention. McNally’s statement focuses on the lack of intention of Davidson but has no understanding that the way black people’s bodies registers racial aggressions is also not intentional.”

“To not acknowledge the unique effect of a racial slur is a form of indifference to the suffering of others. The problem of being indifferent to the suffering of black folk while also imploring folks to have empathy for Davidson cannot be understated.” — @nubluesnick.bsky.social

You obviously see apology as punishment. That’s why the insistence that an apology was required due to the exact circumstances of this outburst was met with such vitriol. “He said fuck the queen in front of QE2.” That’s not the same and you fucking know it, you bellends. Jesus Christ.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

This place needs an enforceable wealth tax, yesterday. 33% (cf. www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a...) of ~$20.6b is $6.798b. "To meet and maintain all current and future water and wastewater needs on reserves for the next 10 years would cost $4.7 billion in servicing, an annual budget of $419 million".

Every day I see a cheerful new video about budgeting for groceries or reducing food waste at home. Not clicking on any of those, sorry. How about we talk more about how greedy, obscenely wealthy grocery store owners are ripping off the rest of us to make even more money they don't need.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Mon. that no deaths have been recorded thus far from Winter Storm Hernando. That stands in contrast to the late January cold snap, when 18-20 people died, several in cases preliminarily linked to overdoses. Mamdani told MSNBC’s Katy Tur the city learned from the...

i hope you and your social media team at least consider delay-posting to vichy-twitter (posting there only an hour after you post on other platforms - if they want to see potentially news-making statements immediately they then need to leave X)

The same shady forces that engineered “Climate change is a hoax” also later masterminded “COVID‘s like a cold.” “His primary qualification for this wrecking operation stems frm his role during the COVID-19 pandemic as a leading propagandist for the mass infection policies demanded by Wall Street...”

Wait mayors can just suddenly decide to pay people decent money to provide services that help everyone? #yvr

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

I’m no expert but if I had spent the last few years as an AI-boosting journalist and suspected the bubble was going to pop soon, this is the type of thing I’d start putting out if I wanted to try and salvage my credibility once the dust settles.

I'm told that some leftist bro on another site claimed that Millennials and Gen Z hardly use public libraries anymore. Based on what data? NO DATA. In actuality, a survey from 2022 found that 54% of Gen Z & Millennials had visited a physical public library in the past year.

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Holy fuck look at this anti-Indigenous imagery lol. But listen, if we are going to actually tax the rich, then I will personally organize an Indigenous summit to fire symbolic arrows at big fat wallets, even effigies. [Alt text, yellow background, fat brown wallet bristling with arrows.]

Ford's casually racist comments are a dog whistle I've heard my whole life, reflected in notions of "high" and "low" technology. Baskets are a technology, and STEM courses should be teaching their historical trajectory. You can trace colonization itself through basket tech www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is yet another example of a private institution capitulating to the federal government’s assault on transgender rights. In the face of these attacks, New York City will continue to be a refuge for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The grand chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation and the chief of Wapekeka First Nation are accusing Ontario’s police watchdog of disrespectful handling of investigations into three deaths at the hands of the police.

The BC government is furiously defending a new term they made up, called "re-pace", to describe removing many long-term care facilities from the capital budget They really don't like people saying they've been cancelled or indefinitely delayed But also, there's no longer any financial commitment

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
