This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Complaint by @teamsabrinastc.bsky.social against #Niagara Police going to Human Rights Tribunal. "I would feel attacked if somebody asked me that and I would definitely refuse to provide that." (Colleen McTeague, Trans Niagara) Not a one-off but pattern of misgendering. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Niagara police crackdown on public substance use is only to give perception of safety to wealthy and privileged but is more dangerous for everyone, and de-humanizes marginalized as not counting as part of the community. www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/will-ni... via @matthewpbarker.bsky.social

Letter in #StCatharines Standard: it was never about protecting children but about pushing bias and stigma i.e. hate

Birthright citizenship in the US was part of the victory against the Confedaracy in the civil war over slavery. It was a condition of re-admission to the union. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBFX...

It's not supporters of Palestine who people should be worried about but the pro-Zionist counter-protesters who the #Niagara Police give a free hand to, while going all the way to Toronto to support the annual "Walk With Israel" rallies.

After saying could do nothing more for house Johnny Cronkwright was in when property standards hearing (weakest enforcement option) wasn't getting results, City of #StCatharines used courts to shut down another unsafe building, removed unsafe items. They could've done it for Johnny but did nothing.

“You protest so that you’re listened to and when you’re not listened to, you protest louder. The message is we’re not going to get tired and we have the people behind us. We’re going to keep coming out and we’re going to keep on this case until something really changes.”

#Niagara Police crackdown on public substance use sold as clearly positive, but for who? For privileged to make them feel safer, but not for marginalized, criminalized for health issue: substance addiction. Why aren't they counted equally as community/public members? www.youtube.com/live/UyaObDS...

The #Niagara police's crackdown on substance use is like the coming crackdown on encampments and crackdown the far right is pushing to get "tough on crime," based on misinformation, anger, and fear to make the privileged feel more comfortable from the rest of us. Quotes @whatdoesntkillu.bsky.social

The reason that so many Americans can’t recognize fascism is because fascism is an American tradition. So traditional values in America is Fascism. America isn’t becoming Nazi Germany Germany became Americanized when it embraced Nazism

The Charlie Kirk hagiography shows our society's empty worship of form. He held debates, so he was a free speech hero. Never mind that these were rigged events where he'd tempt unwary college kids to spar with him and then humiliate them with cheap rhetorical tricks and put the footage online.

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

My latest: Charlie Kirk was a gutter bigot who built his career on censorship and bussed insurrectionists to the Capitol on J6. Why are liberals like Ezra Klein trying to paint him as a paragon of reason and dialogue?

Some critical context about Trump's troops to "war-ravaged Portland" that most folks don't know: Any conflicts there between protesters and ICE agents are happening because ICE agents ARE PROVOKING THEM (From that "radical left-wing group," the Portland Police Department) bsky.app/profile/mock...

Coverage of #Niagara Regional Council calling for "tough on crime" policies they should know haven't worked. These have quotes from my speech not to fall for misinfo pushing our buttons of fear and anger. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... 610cktb.com/niagara-regi... www.105theriver.ca/news/local-n...

Propaganda pushing fear and anger is used to increase police and incarceration as a political strategy in the war on us. "The language of war in such cases justifies actions made for political motives and undermines the rule of law." Excellent op-ed. www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/opinion/cont...

"Fidel" will spend his day harvesting hundreds of boxes of parsley. He shares he is grateful for his union job that allows him to earn more in way better working conditions than non-union workers. #WeFeedYou

About time! Now the rest of the world should join! Also putting all the Arab states to shame rightfully so.

Reactions to my speech at #Niagara Regional Council. Sound like concerned people who just want to protect the kids to you? We've seen them before with anti-trans and white supremacy campaigns. Few want to point out the obvious because they're pushing the hot buttons of fear and anger over crime.

Posters for the white supremacist group "Dominion Society" are being put up all over #Niagara. These were at the Royal Canadian Legion in #StCatharines (George St.) and #NiagaraFalls (Spring St.) Please take a pic, report, and take them down! We can show we outnumber the people putting them up.

My speech to #Niagara Region Council against supporting "tough on crime" crackdowns that don't work and are being pushed in part by same people pushing anti-trans hate and white supremacy. Full text: arguments-and-facts.blogspot.com/2025/09/spee... youtu.be/8jwvK6dFs2s

Mail is a public service not a for-profit business. It's not a bail out, it's funding public services we need. These are part of the Carney cuts corporate agenda. We need to fight to keep our public services. Post offices are our public assets.

"...Associated Press’s Farnoush Amiri, an anonymous U.N. official said the escalator in question was actually stopped prematurely by someone from Trump’s group, who ran ahead of the group and accidentally triggered a stop mechanism. The official added...." newrepublic.com/post/200833/...

Canada Post is supposed to be a public service, not a for-profit corporation. It's not bail outs from government but funding public services that we need.

Canada is worse than the US when it comes to being unvaxxed...and worse than 95% of the world! We are the 8th worst country in the world for this, with Ontario and Alberta being the worst. All thanks to the anti-vaxx conspiracy propaganda.

“He said things like ‘vaccines had fetal parts,’” Monarez said, “and I had to send a note to our leadership team to correct that misinformation.”

I'll watch Jimmy, but ABC and Disney can still go fuck themselves. When people show you who they are, believe them.

I'll say this as a cishet man: I've never heard a valid argument against medical gender transition, because every one boils down to "I don't want my children to change." Sorry to inform the bigots, but you can't make your children stay the same forever.
