the left has offered solutions: -raising wages -universal healthcare -affordable housing -universal childcare -paid parental leave -action to mitigate the climate crisis if only our leaders supported these wildly popular solutions. people don’t want kids in a world we’re struggling to survive in.

“removed from active duty” sounds like they copy pasted this from some police media release which… i mean..

"A terrible accident," says Jigsaw spokesperson Tiny Puppet on Tricycle after victims found mangled in elaborate torture scenario

this is war. I don't know why this isn't the language that everyone uses. The Feds are waging war on civilians.

"Hysterical"

Kinda weird how Carney's jetting all over the world to make trade deals, ostensibly to reduce our ties to the US, meanwhile there's been absolutely no discussion of reducing foreign ownership of our news media. Post Media is primarily owned by a US hedge fund with ties to the Republican Party.

You may have received a letter from the city if you live in an older, multi-residential building, saying that you qualify for a rent reduction. This is because the city changed the property tax class for buildings like yours, and the savings are supposed to be passed down to tenants.

I will accept no moral high ground from a government that refuses to ban a platform that is actively, in real time, right in front of our faces, creating child sexual abuse materials. They're not banning it and there are still government departments with official Twitter accounts. Fuck Carney.

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

Not pissing off Elon Musk and Canada’s right-wing tech bros is far more important to Evan Solomon than protecting Canadians from deepfake sexual abuse and acting on child sexual abuse material.

i guess when this shit is finally banned (if ever) we will know where these people think the line is for acceptable/unacceptable degradation of women

I think about this July 2024 threat from the head of the Heritage Foundation quite a lot these days.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Translation: " Quick, while you are all scared we are going to exploit your fears to force a pipeline through indigenous land." Textbook disaster capitalism. #cdnpoli

"shitting on ai makes you sound like a Luddite" oh okay, thank you! Luddites were cool as hell

our first ever reading series GRUB STREET is happening one week from today at the vault!! featuring Elke Sorensen & Taylor Fleming, + poetry open mic (with door prizes) to follow. hope we see you there!

if you are still on X i don’t trust you. you would hide out in a zombie apocalypse. you would get me killed in a revolution. you would wait until the nazis are losing before you decide you’re against them. you will do anything to avoid making hard decisions. this one isn’t hard. get it together.

wrote about the new year, the future, and trying to love my neighbours 🥂

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This is a huge loss for our community. Wesley Mitchell was a constant presence at many events, always building bridges and seeing the humanity in people

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

two major factors come to mind: 1. Elon has a personal history of committing sexual violence, so this isn't a big deal to him. it probably makes him happy. 2. widespread violence against women and girls is foundational to the US fascist political project

Interesting that the people who threatened people's jobs and lives for simply reposting Charlie Kirk's own words are busy vilifying a woman who was shot three times in the face by the gatekeepers of the state.

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Again, what ICE does EVERY DAY is devastate relationships and destroy people. This is their job. Rage for Renee needs to not mark her murder as especially egregious because of her citizenship status. Rather, this was an escalation of force in the defense of a massive project of ethnic cleansing.

UBISOFT would rather shut down entire studios than pay their staff fair wages or benefits

Silence so far. He should be leading the charge here.

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

The Narwhal is suing the RCMP to protect press freedom for all Canadians, and our case will be heard in a Vancouver courtroom beginning next week. We’re counting on your support as the case unfolds, so here’s what you need to know. 🧵

Gotta say, if I were a Canadian politician, I would be very careful about praising Donald Trump for illegally bombing an oil-rich country and arresting its leader on what are pretty much imaginary allegations of narco trafficking

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn

Grok is not a human representative of X, therefore should not be quoted as if they are a human representative of the company. The company’s AI chatbot generated CSAM of users bc human beings programmed the AI to allow such things What are we doing here
