A Canadian Returnee is someone who has lived abroad and is now back home in Canada. It is a term that captures more than just physical relocation; it speaks to the experience of rediscovery, adaptation, and reflection. canadianreturnee.substack.com

Sumaya Awad and Beth Miller unpack why the ADL’s attack on Zoran flopped, the "Mamdani monitor," and what this moment means for NYC politics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xif9... We must learn to no longer conflate Judaism, Zionism and Israel. This has been extremely dangerous to Jewish people!

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

With everything going on in the US, it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the only real difference between fascism and colonialism is whether or not it's used against white people.

I am glad this is being shared... The censorship with Jimmy Kimmel fits neatly into the settler-colonial left-right debate of USA&Canada -- so is safe to talk about. Blind loyalty to settler-colonial ideology that exists across that left-right spectrum within USA&Canada can't be questioned.

They can't figure why Canadians don't want to go to Plattsburgh, NY to celebrate the first time USA tried to make Canada (Upper Canada now Ontario), the 51st state! Their pride is our disgust. #Never51 #BoycottUSA

Last week, the federal government upheld a ruling by the CRTC that existing fibre optic infrastructure must be shared with resellers in much the same way as cable and phone lines have for many years. The big telecom companies are mad, and I hope we make them a whole lot madder still. It is time f...

“All Gaza will be Jewish" "There’s no hunger in Gaza." "We don’t need to be concerned with hunger in the Strip. Let the world worry about it.” "The government is racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out.” ~Minister Amichai Eliyahu Can we call it a genocide now?

NYC's #RankedChoiceVoting primaries showed what can happen when you empower voters to choose candidates who are accountable to them, rather than a narrow base. Read more from FairVote CEO Meredith Sumpter in @thefulcrum-us.bsky.social ⬇️

I really enjoy these articles by Lyric Lark Rivera (AKA: NeuroDivergent Rebel). What they write regularly resonates with me so much, and reminds me of things I have also felt for so much of my life. r.flora.ca/p/dont-assum... #ActuallyAutistic

"What the author of the critique of this painting wrote is more likely accurate, as it matches what a male would paint given what males are taught in this culture about how women think." r.flora.ca/p/also-not-a... #cdnpoli #Incel #RapeCulture #GenderBinaryMyth

Listening to @karldockstader.bsky.social on #OneDishOneMic on #610cktb Remaining "neutral" on what is being done by Isreal against Palestine is siding with the oppressor. Canada has been too late, too soft. It is being done in the context of ongoing colonialism.

I have seen this quote in many places. I understand the sentiment, but it doesn't match my personal observations. “When I criticize a system, they think I criticize them—and that is of course because they accept the system and identify themselves with it." -Thomas Merton r.flora.ca/p/i-dont-hat...

A key tactic in an abusive relationship is for the abuser to take things away from you for no reason and then expect you to be grateful to them when they give you back what was always rightfully yours to begin with

The American descent into fascism is so rapid and comprehensive as to suggest its architects are indeed students of history. The expression “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” appears to be truncated when confronted with reality. ...

If you look back far enough on Twitter you’ll see the #CancelCanadaDay hashtag was started by me lol. We used to trend it as well as #NoPrideInGenocide every year.

The Dominion of Canada government is also providing cover, a supporter of the Zionist project since before 1931 when the Dominion was allowed by the British government that created it to have its own foreign policy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW1f... Dominion Day 2025

I and my NDP colleagues oppose Bill C-5 in its current form. I demand that the federal government uphold their constitutional obligations to obtain free, prior and informed consent.

Bill C-5 violates the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples, diminishes environmental oversight, and puts workers and communities at risk.

No to bills that fast-track projects that violate Treaty and other rights of Indigenous Peoples!

Today in Washington, DC, Donald Trump is planning a $45 million Soviet-style military parade to celebrate his 79th birthday, while using 4700 military personnel to suppress protests in Los Angeles in violation of Posse Comitatus, and the same week as a US Senator was assaulted and handcuffed for ...

I'm noticing a format change, without the break around 11:00 for #OneDishOneMic Is this something @karldockstader.bsky.social can speak about?
