This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

Our book is out next month! In a long essay on digital worker inquiry and 11 interviews w/ organizers all along the digital value chain, we consider the relationship between research and organizing within and against digital capitalism.

It just bought another data labeling startup.

The people at this ostrich farm are the same gang that opposed M-103, co-opted yellow vests, push UN / WEF conspiracies, opposed lockdowns, face masks and vaccines, occupied Ottawa, harassed people at drag story time events etc

It’s all the same far-right influencers and content creators every time

WTF. If this is true I will also sue Gasparro for denying us @kneecapceol.bsky.social

A Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger could give Trump even more influence over US media – shaping the news and culture Americans watch and stream The proposed Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery merger would concentrate oversight of two prominent newsrooms – CNN and CBS – under one owner with strong ties to Donald Trump.

How to run a university in Canada? Outsource it to this management consulting firm Nous Group's template for getting out of the red has been adopted by major schools. Critics call it the corporatization of higher education.

Carney’s Liberals are cowards. But we knew that already.

"Glorifies terrorist organizations?" Like the people who fought for Irish independence?

Who’s Afraid of Kneecap? | The Tyee The Liberals have made a big mistake by cancelling the pro-Palestinian Irish band.

While Kneecap’s rise to prominence has clearly troubled the Liberal party, Vince Gasparro’s claim that the band glorifies terrorist organizations is an obvious smokescreen meant to divert the public’s attention from the band’s steadfast support of the Palestinian people. @enda-b.bsky.social writes.

Canadian Jewish News: Irish band Kneecap barred from entering Canada
"The decision to prohibit the band from entering Canada was welcomed by Jewish advocacy groups which have been lobbying the federal government for months on the issue.
B’nai Brith Canada also thanked the government for the move"

And just days after meeting pro-Israel lobby groups which clearly have had Kneecap in their sights for some time now bsky.app/profile/alis...

Had tickets and was so looking forward to this show.

This is an absolute fucking outrage and puts Canada on the EXACT SAME level with our boot-licking, dissent-cancelling neighbours to the south.

This story is shameful and enraging. SFU was warned about this contractor many, many times. Will they finally give these workers the respect they deserve and bring them into direct employment?
