I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

Please do enlighten me on how AI can conduct autoethnography, participant observation, affective and experiential learning, or build trust relationships with communities over time that result in new co-generated knowledge. I’ll wait.

This completely misunderstands the research process including the point of doing literature reviews. Claude’s “analysis” treats research as paint by numbers regurgitation of pre-existing work.

Kustov & folks who share these views need to give up their jobs in favor of those who want to research.

I lived there for 15 years and you are NOT wrong.

“What do they want?” and Other Dishonest Questions Weaponized incompetence and the false promise of settler solidarity By Emma Battell Lowman We have all encountered them, haven’t we? The would be ‘ally’ to Indigenous people who just does not seem …

New to the Allygned blog: Emma Battell Lowman writes about the mental load of decolonization, settlers weaponising incompetence, and why “what do Indigenous people want?” isn’t an appropriate question: allygned.wordpress.com/2026/02/25/w...

“Mobilize Everybody”: Minneapolis Organizers Share Lessons From Their Struggle Largely unseen care work, communications, healing, and fellowship makes sustained resistance in Minneapolis possible.

My latest reprinted in @truthout.org. "One group member admitted that she followed ICE vehicles while honking loudly so often that her car horn broke."

The Ugly Underbelly of the US Hockey Victory The real Olympic heroes were the athletes who stood up for each other—and against Trump.

Again, I'm glad I wrote why this team sucks eggs. I'm glad you're going to the State of the Union because it'll be fun to see you squirm as you become openly aligned to this regime. History won't be kind. awakhttps://www.thenation.com/article/society/us-hockey-olympics-gold-trump/

Why is “corporate spokesman lobbies for his company’s product in predictable commitment to self interest” being reported as news?

Ugh worst case scenario.

I’m so sick of Olympics nationalism that I kind of want Canada to get knocked out here so I can stop hearing about it. But that will just initiate post-loss hand wringing which is nearly as bad. Maybe the roof will just fall in and they can cancel the rest of the games?

got you (it’s longer but who cares you’re here to see caleb go apeshit)

You know that creative struggle you have in your head when figuring something out and trying to write it out? That’s called thinking!

Monaco resident says what now?

just the same thing over and over. "it's over for artists" "it's over for writers" "it's over for mcdonald's workers" no wonder everyone is sick of this shit

The only thing more powerful than hate is love ❤️

And I fuckin LOVE Bad Bunny for his bravery tonight. Holy shit what an icon

just keep this going, we don’t need a second half of that anyway

It’s February so that means it’s America’s favorite secular holiday – Black History Month!
Psyche! We live in a racist moral slum, so the actual favorite holiday is the Super Bowl, a crass four-hour cavalcade of TV commercials interrupted briefly by a football game aligned to a fascist regime.

Yes!! I just noticed that @iwriteok.bsky.social and Behind the Bastards are doing episodes on “The Queen of Canada”, one of my favourite weirdo, delusional cult leaders! She literally came up during my lectures this week! I can’t wait to listen to these.

Chuck Shumer thinks this is “common sense”.

The rest of the world thinks this is “lipstick on the fascist pig”.

America, if history will judge you by your opposition to fascism, you better be sure they don’t think Shumer’s Democrats are considered “opposition” or you will be judged harshly.

i would be overjoyed if the U.S. had a president as ethical and even-tempered as Chancellor Gowron

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

Just approach *every* rationale the right provides for its actions, by assessing what it would expect if its opponent was itself... and the logic is far more clear.

(apologies for the tortured sentence structure)

One of those people who will never, ever win enough to not be a huge loser.

This is fucking appalling. This is university-administrators’-heads-should-roll appalling.

There is money for "education" if and only if that money is being directly funneled to corporations. Anything involving actual learning, however, well there's no magic money tree

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

Ciancabilla and maybe that of Malatesta. It was during this debate, and as an unintended consequence of it, that during a conference, in the heat of discussion, Malatesta was shot with a revolver and lightly wounded in the leg. But Malatesta energetically refused to give importance and continuity [?] to the incident; he didn't speak of it in the paper, and when distant friends insisted on making vehement protests, he intervened with these simple words, in an impersonal way: "The comrade Errico Malatesta — seeing the protests that are published in the Italian papers, in addition to those that were sent directly to us, regarding the little disgrace that occurred to him and which we believe isn't worth the pain of discussion — thanks the friends who have wanted to express their sympathies in this manner, but begs them... to cease."

in case you think you need to personally like everyone you organize with during a disagreement at a conference another speaker shot malatesta in the leg and he was pretty much immediately like its cool man we all get heated sometimes and went back to organizing
