Oh he does. He just hopes you don’t. And that you’ll accept what he knows to be bullshit and give him the power to change things so his party will never lose another election, even if they don’t get enough votes to win.

⬇️ GOP and 🍊 are ‘whittling’ away at their goal of delegitimizing elections ⬇️

So we'll have federal byelections in Scarborough Southwest and University-Rosedale to replace Blair and Freeland Then Ontario will have to call a byelection in Scarborough Southwest to replace Begum, who's running for the Libs federally ...

I am a developer and I absolutely refuse to use it. If I get left behind so be it. I also refuse to build it or be involved on that side of it. I genuinely view it as a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear weapons. It is going to kill us all, just not in the Skynet way everyone thought.

Once again, with feeling.

It is killing the planet! It relies on the exploitation of workers! It's literally overrun with sexual abuse materials! "It's not the tech, it's the use" might make sense when you're talking driving safety but cars weren't created to churn out non-consensual nudes! What are we doinggggggggggg

Listening to colleagues talk about using AI to translate emails (That means you stole work from a translator!) or that the tech isn't the issue, it's how it's used. I feel insane. AI is by definition, theft! That's a consent violation! The tech companies have garbage infosec! What are we doing?!

We are absolutely going to find out there are mass graves of ICE casualties when all is said and done

Remember Americans, The government wants you to work until you die, so you'll never collect your social security . And remember our former allies, Canada and Europe. They work less hours. Get better vacation. Get free healthcare, better retirement, and live longer to enjoy that retirement

Stephen Harper is the Viktor Orbán of Boris Johnson's. Research the IDU, if you've the stomach for it, and 'Yes,' Pierre Poilievre is heavily involved in the right-wing organization.

WELL WELL WELL also, thank you for making that list. I was still a baby reporter when it dropped, and two of the men on it had already sent me dick pics

genuinely a great thread, i think a lot about china's last emperor puyi and his post-revolution life

It's why I feel like something is deeply missing from our understanding of fascist violence, and especially from conversations about what to do about it. How do we move forward if dehumanizing our oppressors in turn is the only move we have space for? If vengeance is all we can think about?

Maybe they have no remorse, or some other word that describes their willingness to confront their own wrongdoing on a surface level. But I think, at their deepest core, they swim in shame. They loathe themselves so much they're barely alive. They are disconnected from what love would even feel like

I often see people saying that capitalists, and their footsoldiers of state violence, have no shame. I think it's exactly the opposite. I think they spend every waking second pushing an ocean of shame down. I think it drives everything they do. We know this about how narcissism functions

Every new violent line the colonizers crossed trapped them in a cycle where stopping would mean they'd have to reckon with what they'd done. And the shame was too great, so they'd dig deeper, go even darker. Worse atrocities. I think about this all the time in relation to lsraeI. And lCE.

I can't stop thinking about anthropologist Michael Taussig's book about the terror of the rubber trade in Colombia. In it, he describes how colonizers wantonly tortured Putumayo workers, with violence becoming a culture in itself, for its own sake. Like it was a sunk cost they couldn't escape

A citizen-led challenge to Saskatchewan’s continuing use of coal power failed last month when a judge sided with the province. Via @nationalobserver.com: thenarwhal.ca/court-denies...

We’re working with international partners to create new high-paying careers, build up our domestic auto sector, and boost productivity in Canada.

CPP should be doing everything possible to divest from American capital just on basic national security grounds, but absolutely inexcusable to still be involved with American regime shit at this point.

Hopefully soon! Canada has got to move faster. In the meantime, a lot of the advice in the Nordic ones is generally applicable, and they are available in other languages including French and English. For instance Finland’s digital brochure (link👇).

He’s not wrong

Woman with legal status taken from her family home in St Paul by ICE, flown to Texas, held for two weeks before being ordered released by a judge. She lost her job. She's afraid to go outside because agents keep coming to her home. www.kare11.com/article/news...

This just going to mean more innocent people end up in state surveillance databases that position people as guilty until proven innocent

Quite the contrary. It appears to be a GOP requirement

I used to think villains like this only existed in movies. Now I know they're based on actual people.

As we see stuff begin to become public, for me it’s gone beyond “that guy?” to amazement at the common acceptance within that circle of what they were doing as if it were as normal as “hey, I’m thinking of playing golf this weekend”

I thought I had a fairly realistic view of the good and bad in the world but what I’m seeing is so bad and pervasive that it’s hard to take in.

I worked in finance for a while Couldn’t stand the people - and it’s not just the people at the top of the food chain. The people climbing the food chain are just as bad if not worse - and there’s more of them

That’s both infuriating and heartbreaking all at the same time

All of that and how many people know what the powerful men are doing and say nothing and help them cover it up.

I want to go back in time when I didn’t know how many powerful men rape powerless children, how many people want to invade peaceful countries to rob them and when I didn’t realize the obscenely rich will do anything and hurt anyone to add a few zeros to their bottom line.

More than likely this was a request from Trump who wants Russia back in the G7, etc. All of the teams playing in the World Cup will boycott this. Is they don’t they certainly should have.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s push to lift the ban on Russia reveals a complete and total moral rot. As Russia continues to slaughter Ukrainian athletes and footballers daily, FIFA is prepared to welcome the murderers back to the field. Lifting this ban doesn’t just let Russia compete;

it forces Ukraine and the world to treat state-sponsored murder as part of the game. Over 600 Ukrainian athletes have been killed or injured by russia. Just days ago in Nikopol, they murdered 31-year-old footballer Vlad Strelchuk. If they proceed the blood will be on Infantino’s hands.

Trump further harms Epstein victims via the incompetency of his administration that failed to redact hundreds of victim identities per court order. #EpsteinAndTrump www.cnn.com/2026/02/02/p...

The Peter Thiel connections to Epstein, Ehud Barak, Palantir and...of course....JD Vance should get more scrutiny. Thiel created Vance and essentially hand delivered him to the White House. Thiel is a white nationalist billionaire, part of the "Pay Pal" mafia. Buddy David Sacks is Trump's AI Czar

Canadian firm signs a $354M dollar MOU with South Korean firm, who will provide conventional submarines to Canada. —Previously, we were in serious talks with the US, which only builds nuclear submarines. But we recently realized we need conventional technology instead. youtu.be/iUEKJOTXNMQ?...

I remark more upon how many people think it’s obvious that governments elected on specific progressive promises to the electorate should immediately toss them for wildly different policies as soon as they are safely past the electorate. I wonder why no one ever thinks those people are progressive.

Tulsi Gabbard is a russian operative. "There is a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard that is so sensitive that it is "said to be locked in a safe," and the administration has spent months trying to figure out how inform Congress."

It is becoming increasingly common when engaging with someone online for them to copy/paste or even screenshot an AI response to try to prove something. There is nothing that will make me ignore someone faster. Immediately check out.

It is sad to see what is happening to the US. 😢

This is the absurdity of ICE Thugs putting people at risk of freezing to death, Trump is play the Nazi playbook. #GetICEOut #25thAmendment #Minnesota
