Don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Cliché & basic point, i know, but it's really fucked up how many people refuse to ask "but how will we pay for that" about war & jail shit. Like they fully & fundamentally accept & believe in endless money taps for killing & jailing & hurting other people, but not like… food or medicine or housing.

Charging bus fare but not collecting tolls from cars is a tax on the poor.

america and israel proving themselves to be the great evil iran always said they were

Impossible to hate America as much as it deserves

It’s cool how we just live in a death cult world and we’re supposed to act like it’s okay. Like yeah man apparently it’s cool to burn children alive 24/7 so that billionaire parasites out of touch with reality can get more money. Why are you being weird about it?

Homelessness is a policy choice

Entering the job market after 15 years sucks. What the hell happened?

petition to pay politicians minimum wage

Mandatory posting of this humiliating monstrosity. Humans do not need AI to make slop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkon...

Every review of a basic income pilot seems hellbent on "did they reduce their working hours? Well did they? Huh?!" And I'm saying maybe we're ALL better off when we can ALL calibrate our days to healthier outcomes and the economic breathing room of a solid floor helps there.

“People with disabilities were most likely, in the Probe survey, to believe nearly every aspect of the transit system is worse.” This has been the experience of Project SEARCH students dependent on Public Transit to get to/from their placements. Downtown is just harder to plug in to. #Winnipeg

We really don't have a stable safe use site here in Winnipeg. There are a few mobile safe use services, there are some grassroots groups who do pop up safe use sites, but we don't have a permanent presence for this purpose, & that's a big problem. People who don't understand addictions block paths.

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows

Can we take a moment to really think about exactly what UBI would accomplish? Universal Basic Income provides workers with leverage. It would allow me to tell employers "sorry, this pay-rate is too low, I'm going to keep withholding my labor until your pay-rate improves." #UBI

Belfast stands with 🇵🇸

I love this place!

Our PM talked about bold moves , and changing how things are done. Ok , then how about being bold and implement a UBI. I have zero issue moving on from the US , something I wish we had done a long time ago but until his moves help the desperate, his words will not be heard .

The actions sanctioned on the edges of the empire always come home to the imperial core, every time.

Canada is a police state, too. Mostly limited to BIPOC, disabilities, and low economic status: protected human rights under international law, mostly in Canada (economic status is failed here). The US difference now is political expression of "superior" whites is triggering "show your papers".

If Canada & others aren't willing or able to prevent Grok from being used and monetized as an automated sexual abuse tool then we really shouldn't expect any type of meaningful AI regulation to come from political leaders

@parismarx.com hi Paris, we are a group of Vancouver parents that have started a petition to push back against local school board plans to deploy Microsoft Copilot into classrooms. It would help so much if you could share it 🙏 actionnetwork.org/petitions/vo...

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Trump does not need you to believe that Renee Nicole Good rammed an ICE agent with her car and sent him to the hospital What they want you to believe—what they NEED you to believe—is that if you don’t behave the way they want you to behave, they will fucking kill you

Don't forget, Canadian cops get away with shooting innocent people all the time. Including children. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

There is no other path forward but burning Twitter down to the ground. The rest of social media can burn with it too.

it's unfortunate that we've ceded everything that uses machine learning to the "AI" category. A pen with a mic that connects to your phone and can do automatic translation, record and transcribe meetings is NOT the same thing as a chatbot tech bros think they can turn into God.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

"She was the finance minister...that saw Canadians forced to give back money they needed...when the housing and food crises were forcing people into levels of poverty not really seen before in Canadian history. She oversaw the biggest increase between the rich and the poor in Canada."

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

the American opioid crisis is almost entirely the work of Purdue Pharmaceuticals and the Sackler family of murderous profiteers, but because Americans can't imagine anything being their fault, we've invaded Venezuela over it

I think our leaders have made it pretty clear that their role is to extract as much profit as possible at any cost. They treat the world like a chess match that scores wins for the corporate class. The spectrum of humanitarian care ranges from apathy to sadism. Naive beyond belief to think otherwise

This country finally makes sense

If anyone wants a far better analysis of politics in Canada 2025 compared to what CTV just released, give these journalists a shot instead! @breachmedia.ca always puts out well thought out commentary, they are clear about their biases yet leave no stone unturned. #cndpoli #abpoli

A train derailment involving tank cars near homes and businesses shows why a review of Winnipeg’s urban rail system is needed, former federal transport minister Lloyd Axworthy told the Free Press Monday.

On this day in 1967, Leonard Cohen released his debut album Songs of Leonard Cohen. The album reached #4 in Denmark and #13 in the United Kingdom. It went Gold in Canada and sold nearly one million copies worldwide. The album included one of his most famous songs, Suzanne.

Ryan Nother says showing up at the bus stop on time has repeatedly failed to secure him a ride home.

Generative AI is for losers. It’s so embarrassing to watch people debase real artists, the environment, and themselves for a sloppy, rip-off of a party trick.

this is a Canadian petition to uphold charter rights for transgender and minority communities if youre Canadian, please sign it. if youre not Canadian, please share it. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

We’re not running out of good ideas, but the tech fetishists who have no ideas other than “but I put a lot of money and emotion into this basket” always do, and their narcissism does not allow them to consider that their failed ideas suck, and the flop sweat is palpable.

The way you can tell this is a grift is they hired a human person. No faith in the technology they’re pushing.

Hard no! #EndFossilFuels www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
