And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

If you’ve ever had a conversation with someone who is resistant to the Land Back movement or hearing about it for the first time, here are some helpful responses to some common misconceptions about the Land Back movement:

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

When I moved to SJ years ago I was thrilled to turn on CBC and hear a piece about an NB aquarium celebrating a seal’s birthday. Wow, I thought. I love this place. A seal’s birthday makes the news. Well now Cross Country Checkup is treating US invasion rhetoric the SAME way as a seal’s birthday.

Muzzling of The Breakdown should concern all media in Alberta The popular Alberta politics web show has been ordered shut down as part of a $6-million libel lawsuit from well-connected businessman Sam Mraiche.

NEW: A couple days ago, Breakdown host Nate Pike announced that he was being court ordered to wipe the Alberta politics show from the web as part of a libel lawsuit from a well-connected Alberta businessman.

This development should concern all journalists.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Best Cinderella remix ever!

Ah, I see. They're doing Measles Are Great Again. This should be fine. /s

New AG memo states that DOJ will prosecute private companies that try to enact DEI policies.

They are coming for everyone who isn’t a white male.

The US is fascist.

The benefit to the global community is that we can entice American businesses to move out of the US.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

Canada needs to recognize that the U.S. is no longer a reliable partner or friend, and begin reorienting our economy accordingly, says SCP CEO @mendelmatt.bsky.social.

if you're worried about the rise in fascism, I made this video for you..

Some fascinating things happening on Reddit. 22,000 upvotes on the subreddit dedicated to posting pictures of houses that are over 100 years old.

Yesterday had appt at the hospital. Saw about 2-3 other masks (surgical). Woman directing people had one on, then removed it while continuing to talk to patients. Please, at the minimum, wear a mask in the hospital. Anyone around you could have cancer or any number of illnesses. Just wear a mask!

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

What’s funny to me is the billlionaires can’t buy cool, they can’t buy smooth and they can’t buy likability. They will die rich with money and bankrupt of integrity, character and love. That makes me laugh.

Did anyone actually ask for this?

Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that.🥺

So do y'all think that we can convince creators to migrate their contact from Instagram to Pixelfed?

An acquaintance points out that snoozing every ad you see on FB is probably nearly as damaging to Zuck's bottom line as leaving.

Two cartoon houses next to one another. The house with the Canadian symbol has a speech bubble that reads: Hey neighbour, thanks for visiting us last week. Sometimes you come see us, and sometimes we go see you. We get along great!" The other house with the USA symbol on it has a speech bubble that reads: "Hey neighbor, we sure do! BTW, I'm going to take your house. If you don't let me, I'm going to make your life hell." Create by Nat @HelloBonjour .

It's OK for neighbours to visit each other.
It's OK for neighbours to exchange recipes.
It's OK for neighbours to help one another.
It's not OK to take your neighbour's house. They won't like that.

Who would have thought that this needed to be explained!

That’s it - I’ve seen the dumbest commercial - Air Canada where the girl is sad that her backyard rink is melted SO SHE GETS ON AN AIRPLANE to fly somewhere for a magic potion to freeze the ice and you know what would actually help preserve backyard ice?! 📉

As someone in Saskatchewan, unfortunately you're not wrong.😭

This talk makes me very uncomfortable. But then I remember he wanted to buy Greenland, so who knows anything anymore. 🤷‍♀️
