B.C. police cite privacy rights as investigators probe contents of chat groups | CBC News The fate of an investigation by B.C.'s Police Complaint Commissioner into officers' WhatsApp chats, which were found to include "pornographic images" among other things, could have implications for police across the country.

hahahahahahahahaha

""However laudable, the public interest in the effective administration of police discipline does not merit such a significant invasion of privacy," the petition says."

what's good for the gander....

Really great strategic and actionable advice here!

Collective Survival, Adaptation and Direct Action Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed at marches or on social media.

"Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed... Some refusals will be visible, but many quiet acts of disobedience—like a healthcare worker’s refusal to aid in criminalizing a patient—have the potential to save lives and interrupt state violence."

I'm autistic. Calling Elon's nazi salute an exuberant symptom of "aspergers" (itself a PROBLEMATIC TERM) is ableist & offensive. I personally can struggle to control my joyful movements, but they NEVER display as a known symbol of hate, nowhere near. The dude is a known supremacist. #nazielon

What a surprise.

Feeling this a little too much today

By resigning and shutting down parliament Trudeau delayed a vote of no confidence, delaying an election. He then talked about his regret being not fixing our electoral process (end first past the post). No shame whatsoever.

How do we keep poilievre out of power?

I'm not used to seeing politicians being held to account for their fascist behaviour!

Fair enough! I'm canadian so obviously I am a fan of universal healthcare.

threads is so full of clickbait I've given up on it.

The idea of E Warren being opportunistic in breaking up big insurance cos is hilarious!

When I was 11, on this day When I was 11 I heard them read this list of names When I was 11, on this very day When I was only 11, I got the message loud and clear You're not welcome here When I was 15 my chemistry teacher put his arm around me while checking my work When I was 16 he laughed off my anger at the calendar of scantily clad women he had in his office My physics teacher, who shared the office, hid in his own beard When I was 20 I was one of only what, 50? 100? organic chemistry students of 600 in my class. When I was 11 When I was 11, on this day, and through *such* violence You're not welcome here.

a tad xenophobic (and a mouthful lol), but in the same vein I would be very happy if Canada stopped exporting all its resources.

Also with keeping kids in cages and separating families at the border.

Hahahahahaahahaha this guy AND Elon Musk both still bringing their mums to work. I can't stop laughing.

I really hear that!! Feels like empire is crumbling and while that's a good thing it's really hard to live through!

I trust that you don't know and that you couldn't tell how your comments read to others. To me your question wasn't simple and saying "do you guys know" sounded really off. But I respect that you want to learn more. Another good follow is Sarah Jeong here on BlueSky and YKReborn on instagram.

I feel the same way, and agree that individually it's hard if not impossible to change. <3

I think if you can look back at your comments with a fresh eye you might see how combative they come across. There are lots of folks sharing the info YOU want, and lots of resources available to you. No need to badger her.

I get it, I really do, but meeting with him before inauguration? Replying to his social media posts? Unnecessary.

Have you read @heesoojang.bsky.social 's google doc primer? Googled the issue at all? This commentary demanding information feels... off.

I think other political leaders need to stop giving him their time, immediately. Delegitimize him wherever they can.

An excellent update from @sarahjeong.bsky.social (who also addressed the whole why is everyone drunk thing that confused a lot of bluesky yesterday ;) )

This is brilliant. Clearly the start of an essay on post-modern analyses of the influences of greek mythology on herpetological nomenclature.

I came to post this too. I guess their lawyers made them include it.
