Pretty fucking badass
This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
It made me happy to see my dear friend @brittlestar.com reading my magazine and sharing his reaction.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

"These Companies—Palantir, AT&T, Deloitte—Have The Biggest ICE Contracts As DHS Funding Under Fire."

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
I've been working on a network of webrings to connect people's hobby sites! I have multiple lines that I visualize as subway lines, so I call it the Smallweb Subway!
Every station is someone's website. You can explore it here:

And yet the Ford government will take over multiple school boards on the premise that they have mismanaged their finances.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I am horrified and disgusted by the lack out outrage on the part of the corporate media to the arrest of two Black independent journalists on Friday for doing journalism, Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Where are the editorials? I'm mulling. In the meantime pls read:

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.
Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)
Wild bee populations have gone down.
"If all we care about is food production, these metrics are useful.
...
(But again), the debates about the state of honey bee populations are completely disconnected from what’s happening to bumble and wild bee species..."
Greenland belongs to its people.
No threat or tariffs will change that.
Our response must be to remain calm, hold our ground and act in unity.
Extract of my intervention in #EPlenary ↓
fwiw this is the kind of stuff that is going to get us through, not playing rambo
Parked my car at the end of my neighbour Steve’s driveway the other day so he couldn’t get in or out and I told him I wouldn’t move my car until he gave me the trophy he won on the weekend so you’re now looking at the new Tri-County Mixed Doubles Pickleball Champion.
Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again."
I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”
The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X.
And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.
Encore!
Read this earnest, respectful call for the United States Congress to grow a damn backbone.
