Like yeah Nick and Susan, I know the advertisement for the building reads "This STUNNING luxury unit in an UP and COMING neighbourhood features QUARTZ countertops and a DEN" but it's also 400 square feet and you are angry about this in your 400 sq ft living room in your $1.2 million heritage home

(now would be a great time for gog & itch to boast about how they give you games without DRM and you can play them forever, just saying)

"Fascists will build a prison for cis women built out of trans people’s bones."

It was never just about sports, but even if it had been, we need to fight back, because participation in sports is as regular as having a place to piss in public. Participation in sports means participation in society.

THATS WHAT CREED MEANS YOU DUMB FUCK THE NICENE CREED IS A DISGUSTING LENGTHENING OF THE APOSTLES CREED

REPORT: We reviewed social media posts of far-right independent media, influencers, and columnists in the 72 hours following the Tumbler Ridge school shooting. What we found was an astounding volume of content seemingly aimed at dehumanizing and stirring up hate against transgender people. 🧵

Unpopular opinion but children should have rights

More than 30% of the country live in households that pay rent every month to a landlord. But to be appointed a Senator you must be a property owner, our Constitution says. www.canada.ca/en/campaign/...

It is fair to characterize the shooter as an incel. He writes that women only being attracted to “favoured men” based largely on height and face shape is a fixed biological reality. He says that “common men” can never expect to be treated well by women.

The police department designed a computer database that is enabling its officers to commit crimes If you change the way the computer database is designed so the police can’t access the information used in their crimes, they will no longer be able to commit those crimes It is pretty simple, really

because the discrepancy between the president's lies are visually obvious and undeniable. at the same time the whole issue is petty enough that people aren't scared to confront the administration on the lie. it's so absurd that their defensive lashing out is sad, not frightening.

"This manifesto is not a left wing document... In fact, the family unit that Hatfield pines for is the most potent node of support for the maintenance of capitalism. Marginalizing women into unpaid work is a crucial element of capitalism and without it, the system would fall apart."

Seconds after I hit publish on this, my thesis that there will be people who have access to national platforms, who will try and obscure what Seth Hatfield's manifesto said. Stephanie Carvin just claimed that it's anti police (it isn't). Take a read... noraloreto.substack.com/p/shooting-t...

As many suspected, Community Justice Initiatives have not been a part of the work #WRPS is apparently doing to bring a Justice Centre focused on restorative justice approaches. CJI learned of it like we all did - through the media. Disappointed but not surprised. www.instagram.com/p/DZ5xkbuCfY...

I'm hoping to see the manifesto from the shooting today if anyone has it. My signal is rachelgilmore.19 and my email is [email protected].

Yet, CJI is over here selling shirts to raise funds for their much-needed work while #WRPS and their $275 million budget wants to dabble in restorative justice work apparently? (Also, consider buying a shirt to support CJI). cjiwr.com/shop/

I love that restorative justice is in the news but there is a seemingly major omission from these discussions - where is Community Justice Initiatives? This makes it sound like this was #WRPS's idea when #CJI (and the Crime Prevention Council when it existed) have already been doing this work.

Canada, the Christian nation, is literally the source of historic institutional antisemitism in Canada.

"‘We’re no longer out of sight, out of mind.’ More than a century after his ancestors were forced to sail away from the burning ruins of their homes, a new generation of Squamish people will return to live where their ancestors once fished for salmon in the abundance of False Creek."

Pride began as a protest against discrimination and remains rooted in that history. It is clear that much still needs to change for Two-Spirit and LGBTQ communities to achieve true equality. #Pride #2SLGBTQIA+ #CambridgeON #HumanRights #PrideIsProtest

A lot of the “kids online safety” proponents actually are anti-LGBTQ extremists and fundamentalists who want kids to have less freedom and don’t care if that actually makes them tremendously less safe too

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth

I think you could build considerable public support behind the idea of not just trying and punishing billionaires, but erasing their names and existence from any public physical space

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

Shopify's CEO, a business darling to both major liberals and consevatives in Canada, is defending Musk from criticism after he promoted ethnic cleansing campaigns

Wow, the mayor used his corrupt power to *checks notes" get shitty seats to a game his team lost this is truly the political crime of the millisecond

As Poilievre stepped on stage to address the CSFN conference in May, some of Canada’s most prominent conservatives were watching. So was an increasingly notorious “Canadian nationalist.” New for @thetyee.ca: I dig into the organized effort to make a racist movement mainstream in Canadian politics.

Seeing some people react to this as if Jesse Brown lost in court and experiencing some understandable schadenfreude But his isn't a court verdict, it's an out-of-court settlement. What this actually shows is Jesse Brown was willing to pay $885,000 to avoid a public airing of these issues at trial

The New York Times is investigating the Israeli military's recent use of white phosphorus in Lebanon against Hezbollah. Human Rights Watch has previously documented the Israeli military’s widespread use of white phosphorus. 🧵⤵️

White phosphorus is a chemical substance dispersed in artillery shells, bombs, and rockets that ignites when exposed to oxygen. Under international humanitarian law, its use is unlawfully indiscriminate in populated areas.

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”

if you continue to advertise that your product is so dangerous it must be stopped, WHILE CONTINUING TO RESEARCH AND RELEASE NEW VERSIONS of said product you cannot act surprised or angry when people physically attack you / your properties.

CBC news coverage today on the crisis in Lebanon. Headline was Israel trying to secure border. A quote from Israeli resident about the threat. Follow-up quote from Israeli officials on next steps. No mention of bombed hospitals or forcible removal of villagers. Just good old 'balanced" news.

A message from Spectrum in regards to Monday's flag raising in Cambridge, Ontario. Thank you to the trans youth who stood up for themself, even when they shouldn't have to. We value the voices of our youth, and will be there to support them as they continue the legacy of activism laid before them.

Aside from this being a wildly broad and absolutely racist generalization, Jesse Brown’s suggestion here that Muslim immigrants are culturally incompatible / failing to integrate into Canadian society echoes the same xenophobic talking points as far-right anti-immigrant demagogues

this is such a good example of someone asserting that incivility lives in actions that hurt people, not in questioning those actions

Take a few moments to give your feedback on the #WRPS. forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

True allyship goes beyond raising the pride flag! We stand with Cambridge’s Queer Community and will be supporting the queer-organized flag-raising initiated by @grandriverpride! See you there! #Pride #CambridgePride #PrideFlag

WHAT DAY IS IT

Happy Pride Month! This June, Thrive HIV Prevention and Support and WHAI are joining the celebration as we uplift, honour, and spread love to 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. We celebrate the strength and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities who continue to fight for their rights and visibility.

yes and a shitload of communists believed freezing seeds made them cold tolerant. bad fucking science does not discriminate between political tendencies

This is insane for an entire theater, for an indefinite period. Free-fire zones are a thing, but for U.S./NATO troops, they're limited to individual engagements. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two large-scale examples over the combined 20-year-long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Leah makes several good points here, however, I think we need to avoid seeing this as an 'encampment OR transit hub' issue which seemingly pits people against each other. 1/ www.therecord.com/opinion/colu...

I cannot believe that we have gone so long without base level journalism that this feels somehow radical, and the guy being interviewed literally cannot conceive of being asked basic questions
