Falling for anti-migrant racism doesn't protect workers, it entrenches capitalism by making workers more vulnerable & exploitable! Our enemy arrives in limousine, not someone on a boat fleeing colonial devastation. Being pro-migrant is central to our collective fight against fascism!

Biggest shocker at my talk today, which is consistent with my other talks and media stuff, is that the acceptance rate for men and women are different at highly selective institutions. Men have a much higher acceptance rate because most colleges are scared to go beyond a 60/40 ratio.

Doug Ford campaigned on “stopping the gravy train”. Today he’s driving it.

Magnificent banner made by a Madrid socialist group for event surrounding the 50th anniversary of the death of Franco.

Reading about the Cagots, who were savagely persecuted for centuries despite lacking "any distinct physical or cultural traits differentiating them from the general population". Not race, not religion. They were ostracised just because they were people that you ostracised en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagot

Trump defends MBS while wishing he too could dismember journalists with chain saws

The real problem here is the shag carpeting.

"One irony of this situation is that while those on the British left tend to defend the BBC on principle, they are often exasperated by its deference to the right-wing press..." Exactly. "The Plan to Bring Down a Giant." www.cjr.org/the_media_to... in Columbia Journalism Review. Recommended.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Turns out the academic meritocracy *is* skewed by minorities, it's just that those minorities are pedophiles and petrocrats.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

“Peace through Strength” is a pretty short step from “Strength through Joy” and “Work makes you free”

Respect Alice Wong’s call here: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

Canada First is an ideology used by White supremacists and Maple maga traitors. ricochet.media/politics/how...

Don’t cross picket lines, don’t be a scab, get your coffee somewhere else and let *$ know why. #NoContractNoCoffee

Expose them all and let the light burn who it will

So @bsky.app is now siding with pedo apologists over satirists?

This is extremely disturbing if true. It's Ford though and it's exactly what he'd do.

Boycott Starbucks. Don’t be a scab #NoContractNoCoffee

Consider joining me in backing this campaign for "Release of Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 4 (Physics)" launched by my good friend Reg Bloor on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/reg... #MusicSky #GlennBranca #RegBloor #KickStarter cc: @florgoth.bsky.social

Statement from the Unitarian Universalist Association and 8 other denominations: “…our faiths call on us to proclaim that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people deserve respect, love, and equal rights.… our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole.” www.uua.org/pressroom/pr...

I’d love a peek at the timeline in which FDR lived out his fourth term.

@bsky.app what, and I say this in all sincerity, the actual fuck? What has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social done to warrant suspension?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Is Damon Knight’s story “Dulcie et Decorum” an ancestor of Roko’s Basilisk? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulcie_...

Are there even 100 million “foreigners” in the US? (Yes, if you count anyone without First Nations ancestry, but fairly sure that’s not who he means)

Waiting for the Welcome To Derry / Derry Girls crossover.

Anyone who loves Rumours should read Iain Banks’s Espedair Street

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Great article by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social about how Toronto killed Sesame Street (the style of urban living, not the show). I'm sad Toronto decided against neighbourhood retail but it's heartening they even had the conversation. We're still years away from even talking about that in Regina. #yqrcc

A Modest Proposal: bring back the property qualification for holding office, and for voting, but with a twist: if you’re worth over a million, you’re excluded from the franchise, and from holding office.

“Orgasms without consequences” are awesome, and also the name of my next band

Never owned a boombox, much less hoisted it on my shoulder. Otherwise, perfect score, no regrets.

Long live the jury trial in America.

An American president was ordered to feed Americans. He's fighting it. Let that sink in. Then ask yourself what are you going to do about it.

A good day to post this song m.youtube.com/watch?v=KYG7...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
