Feel like Canada's negotiating team is forfeiting selective human rights in the trade conversation & current economic trade war.

The USA is meant to be the land of the free & the home of the brave. This move isn't brave. What do they fear from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community? Authenticity? Glitter? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

If you're in a union: go to meetings, volunteer to be a steward, run for office, take organizer training.

If you're not: reach out to one in your sector and ask about setting up an organizing campaign.

Then push *hard* for militant action on your next round of bargaining.

Thanks so much! I will try toothpaste on the corner area and see where I get with that before moving on to anything stronger. Will look into getting the hard rubber eraser mentioned too

🧵This applies to Canada too, we see universal healthcare as “an old family heirloom – precious, yes, but dusty. Nostalgic. Something we’re trying to keep from breaking, instead of something worth updating, investing in and expanding”

Our system cab change to make universal healthcare better but

a halftone print block photo of a man with a suit and tie on. physically it is some type of metal that is about the thickness of a quarter, and nailed to a small block of wood

Do you happen to know the best ways to restore and preserve these halftone print blocks? I have one of my grandfather from ~1939, and it looks like there is some corrosion (maybe) on the top right corner and near the center

"Boggling to watch towns across western Canada evacuating again in the face of what will be yet another super heavy wildfire season as Premiers from these same provinces bang the table for more pipelines. Equally boggling is our media STILL failing to make the obvious connection for us in any way."

Lots to not like here, but I do like this:

"Anyone accredited to attend the event, including athletes and media, will also have a free transit pass for the competition period. FIFA also demands that ticket holders for games and the FIFA Fan Zone have free transit on match days."

“Groundwater is a finite, slow-recharging resource that supports not only human communities but entire ecosystems. Permitting large-scale water extraction for bottling is both scientifically and ethically indefensible in this context.”

If you attend their monthly meetings, come say hi! The next will be in September

I got the driver's seat on the new Mark V SkyTrain on my way to work this morning. It's going to be a great day

I’ve Seen How the Neo-Nazi Movement Is Escalating. You Should Worry. After unmasking extremist groups, reporter Jordan Green got a first-hand look at how the ‘militant accelerationism’ movement operates.

To really understand the threat posed by militant accelerationism today, you need to read @byjordangreen.bsky.social's account of the personal price he's paid for his unrelenting reporting on this group

And why he fears under Trump 2.0, things will get worse

The widespread “of course I’m staying on the Sieg Heil guy’s website with the programmed-to-be-pro-Hitler AI chatbot” combined with the government’s “we have to destroy higher education in America to stop antisemitism” is pretty bleak, ngl.

One point of solidarity is that every deserves to survive and thrive out from under the weight of oppression. Another is that when someone is exhausted and depleted and spent and drowning, you and others can carry the weight for a while, and when you are, they can carry you. That's the goal.

Congratulations to Uber drivers in Greater Victoria on winning your union - and welcome to our movement. We're beyond thrilled to have you. This is spectacular news: a global first for workers in the gig economy. To UFCW 1518 and the workers who put in such an enormous effort to make this a success, huge congratulations on this historic achievement. We know you'll do a stellar job of representing these new members - and showing workers throughout the gig economy what a difference a union can make. We're proud to stand behind you and with you. A victory like this is why we fight so hard for single-step certification. Employers like Uber would love the law to throw roadblocks and delays into unionizing, so they get more time to interfere in a decision that's none of their business. Instead, in BC, when workers say they want a union, the law takes them at their word - and that's exactly the way it should be. Congratulations and solidarity all around. We're proud of all of you.

At this point, it is difficult to imagine ever entering the United States again in my lifetime. SCOTUS has done generational damage to the rule of law. Congress offers no resistance to a fascist regime. Trump's eventual defeat or death will not fix this, the entire GOP is evil. It's irreparable.

"While measles was once declared eliminated in Canada, it has become resurgent amid declining vaccination rates."

It doesn't have to be like this. We have safe and effective vaccines, and I hope more people will utilize them.

When I was a newborn I saved up and bought my own basket. We all did. This generation just wants a handout

Absolutely fucking criminal.
