this card was in the copy of Ray of Light I picked up today. what is it for??

I'm disposed to like Prince, the twenty-six-year-old pansexual star of PURPLE RAIN, because he is, as a friend of mine put it, "the fulfillment of everything that people like Jerry Falwell say rock 'n' roll will do to the youth of America." (1984)

NEW: Today marks 2 years since Israel killed a Canadian aid worker in Gaza. But Canadian MPs have abandoned public calls for accountability for his death. This is part of a broader trend, where MPs seem to quickly forget about Canadians killed by Israel. www.readthemaple.com/say-their-na...

At least four people from my past who I haven't kept in super close touch with responded to this with stories of how they ended up doing this for their husbands — and how they're now divorced

Ontario neo-Nazi and key figure behind the Terrorgram network Matthew Althorpe has been sentenced to 20 years today for his involvement in creating videos for Atomwaffen Division. He is responsible for three online manifestos which inspired several attacks around the world. (archive below)

Editors, journalists, and analysts, too often show no spine when it comes to reporting on Israel. Here’s the truth: rigor in investigative work doesn’t come from pretending to be neutral, it comes from being situated, accountable, and relentless about verification.

Anyone who claims to be a feminist must call the IOC trans exclusion/mandatory sex-testing policy out for what it is: a massive blow to fairness in women’s sports. It is literally harder for women compared to men today than it was yesterday. That's textbook gender discrimination, baby!!

I'm 43 years old. I use my laptop to buy my phone. I use my phone to buy a smaller phone. I use that smaller phone to buy two smaller phones, and each of them buys two smaller phones each. They earn $42,000 a month working from the comfort of their own home.

Paid in, and die from exposure

It enrages me that the Iran fiasco had basically relegated Israel’s absolutely horrific assault on Lebanon to a sideshow which barely gets noticed. That alone should be a crisis that grips the urgent attention of the entire world and nobody even notices.

Labour For Palestine has successfully passed resolutions that empower workers to refuse to handle Israeli goods at provincial labour feds across Canada. In May, their resolution to declare Israeli goods 'hot cargo' + cut ties with the Israeli labour federation heads to the Canadian Labour Congress

"[A] resolution that will be presented at the upcoming Canadian Labour Congress constitutional convention, which would commit the organization to 'declare trade, services and relationships with Israel to be 'hot cargo.''" #Canada #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Labour #Apartheid #Genocide

Workers across Canada have been organizing for years to pass resolutions in solidarity with Palestinian trade unions. After successful motions at four provincial labour federations, they're gearing up for the Canadian Labour Congress convention in May. pressprogress.ca/labour-for-p...

The Farmworker Movement is and always that: a movement. The heroism comes from the thousands of unsung people, many if not most of them women, who bravely faced every form of oppression to demand justice for themselves and others.

The details in the NYT investigation into Cesar Chavez are extremely disturbing. Mel's writing helped me process some of the feelings that have been brought to the surface.

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

Proud to have voted 'yes' on this motion.

NEW: The BC Teachers' Federation passed a motion to support the Boycott, Divest & Sanctions movement in solidarity with Palestine at its annual general meeting this week. I've got a story about workers organizing in solidarity with Palestine coming out tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Empires always begin by telling themselves that they are bringing the light to the dark corners of the world. The reality is always the opposite.
