Y’all do know that the dumbing down of America is 100% the goal of the oligarchy, yes? It has been since Reagan… They need the ignorant and uneducated to do all of the work so they need not lift a finger to progress society. Who needs educated voices of dissent? The people do…not the ruling class.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Remember, #Lethbridge City Council returns to the integrated Fire-EMS discussion today. Decisions still need to be made. I've attached a couple of pieces if you're still needing information. Enjoy. 1/ We Pay ... or we Pay! Let's Pay for the Right Thing #yql

Behold! Tomorrow at 12pm PT I will be live with epidemiologist, pediatrician, & global health expert Dr. Rupa Narra about the Hantavirus, Norovirus,& importance of vaccines- she’s also my BFF who I rode out Covid with in NYC. #scicomm #hantavirus #epidemiologist www.youtube.com/live/NSUvN3u...

With the house fire in 2020, we lost everything, including author's copies of books I wrote. The company I worked for while writing sent some afterwards, but not all were replaced. This is a plea. If you have one of these and arecwilling to send to Canada, or want to buy for me, here's a thread.

Alberta: WTFU

1/ The myth: cutting integrated EMS saves #Lethbridge taxpayers money. The reality: we pay for it anyway. Here's how, #yql! 🧵

May the fourth be with you 'er whatever

Christians read the Christmas story on Christmas Eve. I read the May Day story on May Day. This retelling by @margaret.bsky.social www.tangledwilderness.org/features/hur...

Sam Fielden gave the speech that was used to justify the police crackdown at the first May Day rally in 1886. He was a weaver and a stone-cutter, who'd started working at 8 years old in England. He'd been a Methodist preacher, who moved to the US south to preach in support of Black rights.

Oscar Neebe was the only haymarket defendant who wasn't sentenced to death for the crime of working for an anarchist newspaper. He was also one of the only American-born defendants. He said to the court that he wished to be hanged alongside his comrades.

Adolph Fischer was hanged for the crime of editing an anarchist newspaper. He told the court: "I was tried here in this room for murder, and I was convicted of Anarchy. I protest against being sentenced to death, because I have not been found guilty of murder.

Louis Lingg was the youngest haymarket defendant. He had a watertight alibi: he couldn't have thrown the bomb, because he'd been at home with his friends making bombs. He spoke to the court with nothing but contempt. He told them:

George Engel was the oldest of the Haymarket defendants, but one of the most radical. He wasn't on speaking terms with some of the moderate anarchists with whom he would soon share a gallows. He was a German immigrant toymaker, gentle and honest.

August Spies was one of the "moderate" anarchists, the editor of a newspaper whose title translated simply to Worker's Paper. He worked 12-16 hours a day on that newspaper, fighting for the eight hour day for everyone else. He kept a circle bomb on his desk in the office.

Albert Parsons stood out from his defenants. He was American born. At 13 he'd run away to join the Confederate army, and after the war he dedicated his life to undoing the evil he'd helped promote. He was shot for trying to register black voters in Texas.

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, @margaret.bsky.social and @bumlung.bsky.social discuss the history of May Day, the Haymarket Martyrs, and what the repression of yesteryear can teach us about the repression that we're seeing today. live-like-the-world-is-dying.pinecast.co/episode/1025...

Oh yeah, I forgot to say... HAPPY MAY DAY EVERYONE! I think it's time we, as a nation, should have a serious discussion on how important unions have been, are, and will be in the very near future.

Martha Stewart: one trade, one tip, $51,000 saved. Five months in prison. Hundreds of millions moved minutes before Trump's announcements. Five separate times. The source of the tip is the president.

"We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the weapon industry. Capitalism built a system we can't afford to do the right thing."

What do you do if you see a coworker stealing? Here's a six step program. 1. Stay calm. 2. Don’t angrily confront the person. Doing so will needlessly escalate the situation. 3. You didn't see them stealing. 4. Steal something yourself. 5. Share with your coworker. 6. stealfromwork.crimethinc.com

@realfollowers.bsky.social I'm curious

Go and vote like you're Hungarian, y'all! Check for your state! ♥️

I cannot implore enough.. watch the docudrama 2073. Save it if you can. As right after watching it... I saw a UN post that showed a Palestinian refugee camp was just bombed.

Very funny stuff. Jason Kenney got kicked out of St. Michael’s University School in Victoria (tuition for day students = $35,220; boarding = $85,300) and then went to Athol Murray College of Notre Dame (day tuition = $13,000; boarding = $32,000) for free because his dad was the president.
