Lent starts tomorrow.
I will be staying off my personal social media accounts until Easter.

Being anti-imperialist is more important than whether you are communist or anarchist.

Capitalism creates conditions that make finding genuine human connection difficult, exploits those conditions with AI companions, and now poof. I sure hope people don’t have psychotic episodes over this 🫠

Jesse Jackson riding a horse into the #NoDAPL camp in 2016.
RIP Jesse Jackson.
Here he is in 2016 riding into #NoDAPL camp at Standing Rock with great aplomb. He always did his best over many years to show up and support oppressed people in struggle.
“When we’re unemployed, we’re called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it’s called a depression.” Jesse Jackson
Rest in power, Jesse.

Today’s news story from @kimsiever.bsky.social
Alberta had worst unionization rate in 2025
This shouldn’t surprise anyone though. It’s been like this for at least a decade.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Roses are red

Workers should own
The means of production
Yesterday, a reader of The Alberta Worker sent in a $25 donation to support independent labour journalism in Alberta.
You can, too.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me
