The Epstein-Chomsky conversation sure makes clear that we need a meaningful & working understanding of patriarchy.

Republicans are the party of separating and destroying families | Moira Donegan Their ‘pro-family’ rhetoric is a cynical and hollow sham

"The people tearing these loved ones apart are often the very same people who have spent so much of the past several years lecturing the American people, and in particular American women, about the importance of parenthood and family," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

ICE has offices in 5 Canadian cities. Here’s what it can — and can’t — do | RCI Alberta MP calls on Canada to shut down U.S. immigration and customs operations north of border.

ICE has offices in 5 Canadian cities and has been part of major police operations. Given its role in escalating fascist authoritarianism this should be a clear NO. Abolish ICE and its transnational reach. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

Where did these Epstein folks find the time to do anything given the volume of their emailing? It’s almost parodic how much they liked to chat about crimes in their dumb emails.

At least I have lived long enough to see Canada learn how to make television.

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?

These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.

So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

yeah but retail theft tho

Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important

Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

It always feels like loosing a friend.

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries.

The vast majority of ICE’s violence is never reported on. The only reason more people haven’t died is luck. They’re using lethal force on a regular basis.

Every detail in this story is sickening.

Opinion: Canada’s passenger rail lines are getting revived after decades of vanishing service Across North America, there is a grassroots clamouring for the return of railway lines that once provided a reliable and affordable alternative to cars and planes

Good article with an overly optimistic headline. It is great to see those lines revived, but there are wide swaths of this country that are very far from a revival. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

There is a lot to be said about Catherine O’Hara, and one of them
Is that her Moira Rose gave us a version of motherhood beyond the usual pop culture choice of selfless saint or broken failure, of an eccentric, self-absorbed & deeply annoying woman who remains a good mother: youtu.be/iyMrBdyrusY

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

Indigenous Canadians Warned about Travel to the US | The Tyee The AFN says it ‘strongly condemns’ reports of First Nations people being questioned and detained by ICE.

In a statement posted to social media, the Assembly of First Nations said it “has heard reports that some First Nation citizens have been subjected to increased questioning and detainment” by ICE. @amandafollett.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #canpoli

You’re right about the availability of the language of European racism and holocausts.

its something! I mean, exactly what you would expect, but also so shockingly terrible and trite.

Building Canada together: Prime Minister Carney delivers remarks at the Citadelle of Québec This ground holds memory. In the 18th century, two armies met here in a battle that changed the course of this continent forever.

its straight back to the 50s! www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/spee...

On 1759? I’m not sure but honestly the whole situation is confusing.

somebody needs to collect the PM.

Or is he just reaching back into the postwar nationalist moment and putting it out there? A girl wonders.

Who is Carney’s historian? I mean, who’s advising him on these wild and very nostalgic historical exegeses?

Crystal Fraser and Manouchka Otis are two Indigenous women that were amongst a group of people that were recently honoured at a ceremony held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

They were honoured for their contributions to Canadian history.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Let’s keep talking about infrastructure, about an infrastructure gap 150 years in the making, about infrastructure as colonialism, rendering some places perpetually precarious and often unliveable.

This thread right here from Winnipeg Center MP Leah Gazan.

It’s the second part of the Davos speech, unfolding before our eyes.

And tenacity. They just keep at it, despite the cold, despite the absolute scale and horror of what they (and all of us) are up against.
