Let’s face it, we’re losing! Words of wisdom here from @tomliacas.bsky.social. We need to accept the populist far right is having its moment, then we can respond & build power. History has sone pretty good lessons to teach us… medium.com/@TomLiacas/l...

Thank goodness for @rondeibert.bsky.social‬ and @citizenlab.ca. For years they’ve been shining a light on creepy government surveillance around the world and this is coming home, big time. bsky.app/profile/rond... #surveillance #cdnpoli #vancouver 🧵 1.

This really gives me hope! Organized and funded networks of resistance to the creep of authoritarianism right in the heart of MAGA country. convergencemag.com/articles/fro...

H/T to friend @jasonmogus.bsky.social for sending this my way. For organizers in the U.S. looking from whence the Resistance to fascism will come, Nolan has some clear-eyed takes. In short, it will not come from those who have a lot to lose under the current system. substack.com/home/post/p-...

What's on every progressive organizer's mind right now, or should be! mobilisationlab.org/building-a-s...

We need to hear unconditional opposition to this sinister ploy Justin Trudeau & @melaniejoly.bsky.social. A "directorate" for "voluntary" departures from Gaza? Where was that "extensive assistance" for getting out while genocide was raging?

I wrote a thing where I use dogs to explain the strategic rift dividing progressives at a time when we can't afford to be divided. Bear with me, I think I'm on to something! medium.com/@TomLiacas/w...

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

LOL!!

J'ai écrit à Haroun Bouazzi ce matin. Je regrette de ne pas l'avoir fait avant.

Students in Serbia are at the forefront of nationwide protests and institutional occupations, which have brought higher education—and the whole country—to a halt. I wrote a text explaining what it is all about, please read & share, thank you! 🤝 #students #highered #Serbia

My GGSN colleague Kenzie Harris is one of those vital people working as an 'activist librarian' - someone who curates useful and actionable knowledge in response to activist challenges. More about this in her own words on this great podcast from Commons Library! open.spotify.com/episode/7MZz...

As awful things and awful people join forces around us, one thing that keeps me sane is the knowledge that good people who value justice, care, solidarity and a healthy planet, will also join forces to fight this. Example here: thesurgeinternational.net h/t @tashahester.bsky.social

Some smart political advice for progressive folks in Canada facing a gloomy election soon. medium.com/@hussansk/we...

Great new report from HUB colleague @amandahsanchez.bsky.social on capacity needs and future development strategies to build out Canada's climate justice activist movement! (no doubt relevant across borders) www.lehub.ca/media/moveme... cc @tashahester.bsky.social

Jimmy Carter est le seul président américain a avoir eu le courage de critiquer à de multiples reprises le violent colonialisme d'Israël et l'apartheid en Palestine. Souhaitons qu'il ne soit pas le dernier.

"Mais personne dans la gauche québécoise ne défend le machisme, la misogynie et l’homophobie, peu importe le pays d’origine. En ce moment, le seul discours défendant ouvertement le machisme, la misogynie et l’homophobie, on le retrouve chez les masculinistes qui sont résolument anti-gauche."

Lots of love for the courageous work of Jews Say No to Genocide Coalition, Independent Jewish Voices, and If Not Now! ricochet.media/politics/not...

Pendant que les valeurs de solidarité et d'ouverture sont menacées au Québec, j'ai choisi d'appuyer cet organisme qui soutien les demandeuses d'asile en situation précaire. Faites un don avant les fêtes, c'est bon pour le moral ! #immigration #polqc www.canadahelps.org/fr/organisme...

A principled power move by a team of awesome tech-for social-change folks. Bravo 👏👏👏

Thanks for the boost, @tashahester.bsky.social! Don't miss this global exchange on how NGOs can do better supporting grassroots advocacy-activist groups.

Refreshing to read that some are still pursuing simple and timeless rituals of life in the midst of all this planetary craziness. May we all, each in our own way, become the ham (or veg) sandwich man.

Hello saner people! Enjoying the Musk-free air in here 😍
