Mamdani’s win is a warning for media: Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

jamaal bowman to mehdi hasan on the mamdami victory: democrats listen up, take some lessons. don't get on your ezra klein nonsense! don't let ezra klein analyze what happened here!

as someone who supported appadurai, was upset with her dubious disqualification, she was not poised to win (eby still had strong support from pre-existing membership and had drawn in new membership as well, he was still ahead) her campaign was also far from the well oiled machine that was Mamdani's

So Carney has cancelled the Digital Services Tax, the tax on planes and luxury yachts, and the tax on empty housing. Seems telling.

you also don't normally restrict your twitter account when things are going smoothly lol

i am deeply skeptical about this framing that about our so-called ancient brains, not the least b/c they frequently seem to rely on old colonialist tropes - but esp if they're meant to justify pseudo-popperianism

carney plans to cut the already understaffed civil service, replace them with AI precisely at the moment companies are rehiring employees after AI efficiencies failed to materialize #cdnpoli

One of @melodyglenn.bsky.social’s major hopes for her book MOTHER OF METHADONE is that it leads to policy change that increases access to methadone and #HarmReduction and prioritizes treatment over incarceration. @muthamagazine.bsky.social

so close they could've been roommates in the Hague

an obvious violation of Indigenous data sovereignty too

this would be a gross violation of the tri-councils ethical and legal obligations, a huge overreach by the state into the privacy of applicants & undermine the tri-councils goal to ensure ethical research canadian researchers please sign the petition (see next post) #cdnhist #stsky
