I refuse to be sad & scared anymore. I’m exhausted like everyone else. But I’m following Jack’s advice:

Text your friends, tell them it’s the last day to sign up to vote in the leadership race, and you want them to join the party 🎉.

And that is why we’re all joining the NDP.

"what voldemort got right about mass internment" 😭

Okay Heated Rivalry 🏒 fans we got the fleece & now we’re getting to hear a behind the scenes with the casting director at 5pm. See you all there 🧡 🔗 act.lewisforleader.ca/all-out-for-...

porky pine

We're living in an era of market failure and housing is no exception. Handing billions to private developers won’t fix things: we need public housing built at scale. Part of my conversation w/ @daviddoel.bsky.social Join our campaign to build homes for the many, not the money! avilewis.link/join

Here's how to constrain ICE open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

@Hootsuite.com promised to cut ties with ICE in 2020. Now they’re seeking billion-dollar contracts to help ICE monitor social media. 🚩 As a B Corp, they should protect rights—not build surveillance tools. Tell them to drop the deal: #NoTechForICE openmedia.org/NoTech4Ice-b... @openmedia.org

Join me and Jenny Lewis—the esteemed casting director of Heated Rivalry and, yes, my sister—for a conversation about politics, entertainment, and what it will take to support Canadian-made film and television! I'm excited for this one!

Have you heard? Today is the last day to buy an NDP membership to vote in the leadership race. Now go tell your friends. And your friends' friends. And your co-worker's roommate's pickleball club. And everyone in between! Join by midnight tonight. Let's get this done: https://avilewis.link/join

They hate Free Speech and they free Hate Speech.

Yesterday Carney had to assure media he meant what he said at Davos because his words and actions rarely align. We are right to question everything he says.

Since I watched the Bill C5 hearings in the Senate I have been in despair about Canadian politics and with every new bill tabled, devastated. For a while there seemed no way out of what Carney was leading us into, but with this NDP leadership race and Avi Lewis— there’s a chance. Take it.

AI generated "people" really do trigger a deep, ancestral instinct in me to beat it to death with a cold iron chain I later use to bind the body, and then bury it at a crossroads.

They dropped the last sentence, which read something along the lines of: "But we don't care. Capital before caring. Profits before people. Violence before virtue. ICE pays us generously."

This is huge, #canlab 🔗 act.lewisforleader.ca/become-an-nd...

He can stop sending the weapons to Israel at any time.

Free Them All!

Canada here is an important opportunity to learn from a 'panel discussion from Indigenous rights holders and legal experts about the importance of the legal challenge and how challenging Bills 5 and C-5 in the courts is expected to unfold.'

The feds never left California

Avi Lewis is the Canadian Zohran Mamdani. Help us elect him so we can have nice things again.

We finally found out who the guy in the picture was:

Why? To make sure they don’t defect? More seriously tho, I’m going to need every athlete, coach, and delegation member to oppose this

Unlike you-know-who. (MC in case you are not Canadian and don't)

For my friends who think embracing the fascism of the moment will exempt them:

My dream job would be to be sat in a candlelit workshop, pouring over nautical charts, sketching out incredibly detailed maps, but just to take the piss I'd start adding fictional islands and cities and sitting back in glee as chaos takes the world

This is a difficult read, I'm sure it was unthinkably difficult to write but important to give it your time. There is a line in this about how you imagine loved ones you've lost at every age at once, even ages they never got to see that floored me. RIP Alexi Pretti.

I don’t think English Canada understands how big of a deal this in Québec right now with the political climate but it opens a door for the NDP that would have been otherwise shut. If you care about the NDP holding real power, Avi’s made that inroad the BQ have climaxed & there is an opening.

1 day left. This is it! Join the NDP to vote in the leadership race and be part of this surging campaign. Don't sit on the sidelines. Join today: https://avilewis.link/join

I am just asking you to sign up for the NDP now so you can vote in the leadership race because Carney is going to do 300 more things to piss you off and instead of feeling helpless, it will be doing something.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 820,000 federal employees, has called on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to either resign or be fired following the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

Super important. Never forget!

So are they gonna charge anyone or just fire the figure heads? And what about all the people dying in custody? They have babies and infants toddlers and little kids locked up in fucking cages! Who gets strung up for that?!?

It’s pretty fucking wild that the only reason why certain conservatives are just now turning against ICE tactics is because Pretti was a white male with a conceal carry who believed in the second ammendment. His humanity didn’t matter to them til the NRA got pissed.

This is how ICE acts:

This is not an Indigenous perspective. This is not an informed perspective. The MAGA-adjacent are already here in droves. Extremists. Racists. White supremacists. All seeking to be separatists. They have always been here. Canada is founded on white supremacy. Open your eyes.

At least the EU Commission can be counted on where @mark-carney.bsky.social lacks the courage to get it done. #BanHate #BanDeepfakes #BanChildSexAbuse #BanX.com

When they say "a free and independent Alberta", they don't mean it. Everything since the inauguration proves it.

Many of you have written in to ask about this, so I’m finally addressing the rumours… Yes, my sister Jenny Lewis was the casting director for Heated Rivalry, and I am so proud of her. Thanks to @theserfstv.bsky.social for asking the hard-hitting questions the mainstream media is too afraid to ask!

His abuse of blue cities may be over but it doesn’t mean the abuse of blue cities is over.

This GST rebrand is ridiculous, stop insulting people with crumbs and create real policy.

Greg Bovino won't see your jokes about his stature, but your borrower friends might & how will that make them feel?

Truer words Dan! Your support is precious to me. Like so many of your fans, I'm grateful for all the poignant beauty and principled truth in your music. We're building a movement with equal parts moral clarity, grassroots power, and collective joy. You've been writing the soundtrack for years.

This is sad. One of the best Hulk and Captain America artists and possibly my favourite Spidey artist ever. RIP

Amir Khadir is a hero of the Québec left, one of the founders of Québec solidaire and someone I have admired since our days in the alter-globalization movement. Canada’s NDP needs a deep and respectful relationship with the left in Québec. Amir’s support is a vital part of building that bridge.

RIP Sal Buscema. While your runs on Hulk and Rom loom large. Your Spectacular Spider-Man run was phenomenal. This issue being an all-time great.

Toronto! You made this homecoming tour stop a night I’ll cherish forever. Over 600 people came together around hope, music, and a shared vision for this country. It was cold outside, but you brought the warmth. Thank you!  Be part of what we’re building. Join us: https://avilewis.link/join

Please stop getting so panicky about everything Trump says about 🇨🇦, that’s what they want so Carney will get you to agree to anything. Chill the fuck out.
