So the Anthropic settlement, does it just not cover Canadian published works?

They're terrorizing people to create fascist propaganda content to circulate on social media.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Paige and Steph were invited by Lil'wat and N'Quatqua to see why the temporary park closure matters, not only to the First Nations but to the park itself. A beautiful story to read & witness on the last day of the fall closure.

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board:

“The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

Holding the Line Through Tear Gas and Censorship “There is no neutral ground in this moment. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit,” says Eman Abdelhadi.

I talked with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social about immigration raids and the violent repression of protesters in Chicago, the administration’s war on free speech and the organized left, and lessons from our upcoming book, Read This When Things Fall Apart.

Everything is connected. When you turn away from active genocides abroad, you'll turn away from active genocide in your own backyard. You'll allow your neighbours to be disappeared. You'll believe you're safe when you are taken away.

Reminder that @theguardian.com has a partnership with OpenAI, and has of late published a spate of asinine articles that are uncritical in framing, and just read as press releases for the company and for "AI" in general.
The headline/implicit framing of this article seems consistent with its biases.

It's interesting to see the non-response to ICE rounding up U.S. citizens, terrorizing citizen-children and separating them from their citizen-parents, zip-tying red-blooded "Americans" and detaining them. It's almost like allowing this to happen to non-citizens desensitized you.

It doesn't. I do have a slow cooker and tbh I can't stand the consistency of any of the meals. It also requires me to still buy ingredients and prepare a meal, which is the very thing that has been impossible for the past 2 years. This soup thing is very intermittent.

Canada Post faces two futures—a revitalized public service or a billionaire cash machine ⋆ The Breach The Liberal government is dismantling Canada Post for the billionaire class, while ignoring bold proposals from postal workers to reinvent the public service

Who stands to benefit from the gutting of Canada Post?

The billionaire class.

If Mark Carney were really serious about nation-building, Dru OJa Jay writes how the post office could become an engine for green energy, public banking, and better services. breachmedia.ca/canada-post-...

The worst part is 4 of us got diagnosed through Frida, and the price kept going up, so I've already paid about $2500. Only to have doctors refuse to write prescriptions or fill out disability tax credit forms.

None of the doctors we've seen will accept an ADHD diagnosis from Talk With Frida, so I've got to somehow come up with $2200 for just ONE of us to get a diagnosis. It's so frustrating! All 6 of us have ADHD. Two have "acceptable" diagnoses. I have to choose 1/4 now AND rustle up funds. AAARRGH!
