Must-read piece on "End Times Schooling" by @jessehagopian.bsky.social who has done so much to unleash the liberatory power of education.

A pale teal background has 3 equal sized circles on it, they overlap in the centre, creating a Venn diagram. In each circle in turn the following words are found: What brings you joy? Sources of satisfaction and delight What are you good at? Your skills, resources, and networks What work needs doing? Climate and justice solutions The centre says: Your climate action!

Creating a Climate Venn, as per Dr Johnson’s TED talk, is one of the best things I’ve done to lessen worry about #ClimateChange

The costs are steep but he is close to covering them. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/from-war-t...

Critical read - make sure to vote on Monday if you haven't already!

The biggest wins Canadians are proud of – like dental care, birth control, and safer workplaces – – only happened because people voted NDP. 

We’ve done more with a few seats than others have with a majority.

Your vote gets results. We’ve proven it.

International students are being hunted on their campuses. For raising their voices for justice. This is pure evil.

Poilievre defends decision to block reporters from campaign plane | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre defended his campaign's decision to block journalists from travelling on the party's campaign plane during the election, saying it's an opportunity to hear from mo...

Quite shamelessly too... Pierre Poilievre wants to bring Trump’s toxic brand of politics to Canada.

This #elxn45 we need to #RaiseTheBar.
www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Two screenshots of headlines: 1. Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during upcoming election. No recent precedent for a major party barring journalists from accompanying federal campaign 2. Outcry as White House starts dictating which journalists can access Trump. Fox News correspondent among those to decry move that journalists say will ‘tear at independence of a free press’ Below them a red block of text reads: Any resemblance is purely coincidental... Or is it?

This move to ban the press from travelling with him during the election follows in the footsteps of Trump. Just like Trump spreads misinformation and attacks journalists, Poilievre has also said he plans to defund the CBC.

The Conservatives will tear Canada down—we cannot let them. #RaiseTheBar

Ooh what’s the book?

‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./

Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

CBC controversy over Trump’s annexation threats reveals a broader crisis in journalism – The Independent The now-infamous Cross Country Checkup episode copied the playbook for anti-trans media coverage

"A lot of trans people felt a deep sense of ironic deja-vu watching the controversy play out," writes Rhea Rollmann.

Hi Canadians! Here’s a petition to keep Trump from entering Canada while he continues to threaten our sovereignty. It will be presented in Parliament by Charlie Angus in March.

Climate change: The Panama community that fled its drowning island Rising sea levels threaten homes in Panama, but not everyone wants to leave.

People across the world will have to move due to climate change. Rich countries and big polluters must commit to ambitious climate action, including stopping fossil fuels, and pay up to support affected communities so that people can stay if they want to.

Devastating

Loved this so much!!
