In the face of #Trump's #tradewar, 'our' capitalists and their political representatives will try to make the working-class carry the burden. Instead of joining 'Team Canada,' we will need to fight back. My article for @midnightsunmag.bsky.social. www.midnightsunmag.ca/from-trade-w...

"Everything around us is striving to break us, one corrosive myth at a time. What if we were to keep going with our organizing, even when we don’t always have faith in ourselves?" @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social 💙📚 #authorsky #disabilityjustice #freepalestine

On 📚VICTOR'S CHILDREN📚 ep50: As the threat of sweeping US tariffs touches off a political crisis in the Canadian state Todd Gordon and Mostafa Henaway discuss how the left is responding and an alternative approach. soundcloud.com/user-7372679... harbingermedianetwork.com 🔶

"Do we really suppose that Canadian workers have more in common with Canadian plutocrats such as Galen Weston than with an American or Mexican worker? Whatever the outcome of this moment’s trade dispute, wealth in North America will still be controlled by capital,"

Here’s my response to the resurgence of Canadian nationalism — left & otherwise — in the context of the tariff war: a political dead end, we need instead a much more far reaching, & internationalist, response animated by struggles from below. www.midnightsunmag.ca/we-need-work...

Wouldn't it be swell if we used this opportunity to "develop and fight for an alternative political and economic vision"? Nationalism is a dead end.

NEW in Midnight Sun: @toddgordontoronto.bsky.social on why Canadian nationalism is a dead end, and the need for a strategy centred around mass struggle and workers’ solidarity across borders. www.midnightsunmag.ca/we-need-work...

Check out our latest from @midnightsunmag.bsky.social by @alansearslefty.bsky.social

NEW: Alan Sears on the generative desiring at the heart of revolutionary politics, a potential antidote to capitalism’s dehumanizing effects. www.midnightsunmag.ca/eros-and-rev...

“We have to not just be there in the fight together; we have to give each other the resources and the strength, we have to rely on each other in ways that are much deeper than just organizing together or showing up for events or actions with each other. In order to do that, we have to have trust.”

The Liberal government has forced postal workers back to work. @halfpastcapitalism.bsky.social writes that this isn’t just a suppression of labour rights—it’s a missed opportunity to implement the visionary, green proposals of postal workers to reinvent the public service for the 21st century.

Our latest from @midnightsunmag.bsky.social

NEW: Malika Sharma on grief and solidarity. "If I loved this almost-baby with this intensity, what could I imagine...of the families trading children with their relatives, so that if and when the bombs come, at least some of their bloodline might persist?" www.midnightsunmag.ca/bloodlines/
