Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

GM Canada layoffs hit Oshawa plant, putting up to 1,200 autoworkers out of work Friday | CBC News The day Oshawa, Ont., autoworkers have dreaded for months has arrived, as GM Canada is poised to cut a shift at the city’s plant, costing over a thousand workers their jobs.

Heartbreaking and enraging. Either the federal government steps up with an actual systemic solution – including public or worker ownership – or we’ll be reading these headlines and watching communities gutted for years to come.

The Tech CEO ‘Making No Apologies for the Work With ICE’ A conversation with an author who had a six-year-long window into the most interesting MAGA conversion in Silicon Valley.

A grim day to note that Canada Pension Plan Investments has ~$264M in PALANTIR, which is enabling muderous ICE + its horrific terror campaign. Pensions will be useless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy!!! (see👆post re BCI)

Canadian friends: today is *the very last day* to buy a membership in the NDP and have a say in who the party's next leader will be.

We're living in an era of market failure and housing is no exception. Handing billions to private developers won’t fix things: we need public housing built at scale.

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

UFCW 1518 has written to the Jim Pattison Group about the decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an ICE processing facility.

We stand firmly against practices that dehumanize people anywhere — including the harms reported by victims impacted by ICE.

Retro campaign-style poster showing Garth Mullins on stage, speaking into a microphone under bright stage lights, with a large ‘Lewis’ banner behind him. A textured halftone effect gives the image a vintage look. A quote fills the lower half of the poster: ‘I’m done with politicians who accept mass death as the price of billionaire comfort. Extreme wealth concentration is a political choice and so is drug policy that criminalizes people to protect property and profit. Avi Lewis is willing to say that out loud—and to fight for redistribution, decriminalization and care instead of punishment.’ The bottom reads ‘—Garth Mullins,’ with a ‘Lewis for Leader’ logo in the corner.

I endorse @avilewis.ca for leader of the @ndp.ca because we need leaders who are willing to take the NDP back to its working class, socialist roots-who & are willing to take money and power away from the people who are hoarding both while the rest of us bury our friends.
