The idea of inviting Darcie Little Badger, the queer indigenous author of (brilliant, you should read them if you haven't) queer indigenous books and giving her this list of forbidden words and concepts is... it's fucking bizarre

Jack Foley’s show about poetry was called “Cover to Cover,” and he embodied that title by compiling a 1,300-page anthology including just about every poem published in California from 1940 to 2005.

I don't know who in Canada needs to hear this, but the greatest threat to you is the alignment of state and corporate interests and not anything foreign.

It’s worthwhile to remember that Larry Summers is an anti union, pro Wall Street self regulation, misogynistic, piece of shit. Perhaps more than anyone, he’s most responsible for the transfer of wealth from the masses to the very few over the last few decades. www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/La...

Rewatching this for ecocinema tomorrow. Hard not to see echoes of ICE in Chicago or the National Guard in L.A. while watching cops ruthlessly attacking the Water Defenders at Standing Rock in 2016. It's a stark reminder that Trump is mostly accelerating *what was already happening without him.*

A new trans group (emerging out of Nexus Moving Company's trans relocation project) is hosting a virtual vigil for TDOR.

Allowing doctors to practice in both public and private systems solves precisely two problems that conservative governments would like to fix: (1) barriers preventing the wealthy from line jumping; and (2) barriers preventing doctors from becoming more wealthy. @picardonhealth.bsky.social

Transphobia makes cisgendered people less safe. It’s not the most important reason to oppose transphobia. But it’s another good reason.

Every creature in Creation is sustained by Hashem’s giving hand; there is a form of nourishment and shelter provided for everything, from the amoeba to the elephant. Thus, the most effective way to emulate Hashem is to give to and care for others. —Chofetz Chaim

Canadian cops killed again. Yesterday. Powerview, Manitoba, RCMP Shoot and Kill Man (29) in Sagkeeng First Nation (November 18, 2025) killercopscanada.wordpress.com/2025/11/19/p...

It would be nice if the people in charge of the Bank of Canada didn't have brains so melted by finance-speak that they think we can "productivity" our way out of an affordability crisis that in huge part was created by decades of not building enough affordable housing.

This post details what's at stake in the UCP's invocation of the Charter's notwithstanding clause to override the rights of trans and gender diverse youth. The government had other options, and to use the nuclear option of s 33 calls into question its confidence in its ability to justify its laws.

"Ceasefire" 🙄 www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

A message below from my friend Tasneem in Gaza. The cease-fire has been broken, and life is deadly for civilians. Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to escape. And to others. ❤️ tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

The destruction of North Gaza is (or should be) unimaginable. There is no conceivable justification for this level of cruelty.

It’s getting cold and Ranin is pregnant and has a one year old. If you can help her winterize her tent it would be appreciated

“this is the Alberta government saying that the rights of trans kids to receive lifesaving healthcare, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams, don’t matter as much as Smith’s government’s right to dictate their lives.” I feel sick.

The Liberals financialized the CPP. In 1993, it still mostly invested in Canada and was not encouraged to chase risky international investments! I write about it in my latest book, Corporate Control.

I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people." www.reddit.com/r/JewsOfCons...

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

Canada actively supported the British war against the people of Kenya, supplying F-48 Sabre fighter jets and a host of military and police supports. A Winnipeg cop named John Timmerman tortured Kenyan prisoners in Nairobi earning the nickname "the Himmler of Kenya."

Former UN special rapporteurs Richard Falk and Hilal Elver were detained and interrogated by Canadian authorities while on their way to an event examining Canada’s role in the genocide in Gaza. Falk, who turned 95 that day, said that officials said he and his wife posed a “national security threat.”

Medical institutions are silencing and even punishing staff for speaking up about Palestine, but health care workers told me doing so is their job: "Our basic oath is to protect life, and it’s not restricted to a certain geographic area [or] a certain population."

Health Canada convened an independent expert advisory group in 2020 to provide guidance on safer supply. Health Canada heavily redacted its final report, but unredacted version obtained by CBC shows the expert group said drug crisis is driven by prohibition and recommended expansion of safer supply

Whenever I tell people I specialise in Caribbean slavery, there will always be someone who says “but it’s such an uncomfortable and heavy topic!” Personally, the fact that thousands of UK adults are unaware of Britain’s role in the slave trade makes me feel uncomfortable. How disappointing.

NEW Two federal expert reviews provided unanimous support in 2023 for rapidly scaling up safe supply, including compassion clubs. Instead of informing the public, the government silenced the reports, and DULF got closed & arrested. Who killed the expert reviews? drugdatadecoded.ca/who-killed-t...

Update: Both CBSA and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree are refusing to show any accountability for the Government of Canada detaining and interrogating a 95 year old Princeton law professor in what appears to be a politically motivated abuse of power
