Bruce Fanjoy should announce he is resigning to run in the byelection

From what I've seen via email, there's a screening of *Yintah* at 12:30pm Friday at McMaster (MDCL 3020), a bus from campus to Gore Park at 3pm, and this rally at 3:30pm.

Climate may have fallen out of mainstream attention, but the crisis is still intensifying. So attend if you can!

Canada is so fucked. Carney is truly a necessary evil because we all know PP would be a Trump puppet- but they are using this moment to deepen neo-liberalism and continue dismantling any sort of social safety net AND Indigenous Ppl are in the crosshairs.

Need some GOOD news today? Consider, the Vancouver Island marmot once numbered fewer than 30 individuals in the wild. This year we are celebrating 381 wild-living marmots - the most ever counted for this rare species. Photo: John Deal.

Let me take this format for a spin

A screenshot from a text messaging app. The sender had said, "It's Doug Ford. Strong leadership is needed to protect Ontario jobs against Trump's tariffs. REPLY > YES if you'll vote Ontario PC. stop to stop" My response reads, "Fuck you, you fucking fuck. You are destroying lives. You are a greedy and pitiful excuse for a human. I pray your corporate circle jerk gets interrupted by a flock of blood thirsty woodpeckers! And the Ontario pc can take a big gulp of covid infected wastewater. Though you wouldn't know it was infected because YOU CUT THAT PROGRAM! You are scum. Never contact me again! stop"

If someone wishes you "happy holidays," it doesn't mean they hate Christmas. They're simply acknowledging that there are *many* sacred observances that take place this month, including the anniversary of Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing a shoe at George W Bush on this date in 2008.

Hi Editor and Journalism friends! We’ve got a feature we're looking to assign and on the hunt for a writer who has some expertise/knowledge of the history of the Gilded Age. If you know someone (or are that someone) we’d love to connect!

Inmate's relative calls for immediate change as inquest into 6 Hamilton jail deaths wraps closing arguments | CBC News Closing arguments at the inquest examining the drug-related deaths of six men who were in custody at the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre have wrapped up. The jury is now tasked with deliberating…

"The Ontario government has had six years to follow through on dozens of recommendations from a coroner's inquest to prevent inmates from dying of drug overdoses at the [HWDC].
"But close to half of the recommendations haven't been put into force ... ."

EMERGENCY RALLY THE KILLER OF JORDAN NEELY WALKS FREE! THIS SOCIETY CRIMINALIZES POVERTY AND TREATS BLACK LIFE AS WORTHLESS The decision to acquit Daniel Penny of charges reflects the disposability of black people in our society. Fascism is on the rise, we must stand up against it! DECEMBER 12th MOVEMENT Tuesday, December 10, 2024 4PM NYC CRIMINAL COURT 100 Centre Street New York, NY 10013

Rally by December 12th Movement called for 4pm today outside 100 Centre St. (Manhattan Criminal Court) in protest against this week’s acquittal of Daniel Penny, who killed Jordan Neely last year.

They invoked Proud Boys hoping to bait people into drumming up free attention for them/get more turnout to harass children.

This is the result of defenders not taking that bait or amplifying fearmongery: A whopping 4 harassers against a wall of rainbow umbrellas and a pink unicorn named Bubbles.

Call to Action: Solidarity with Rojava—Against the Turkish Invasion! We are calling for people around the world to take action at Turkish consulates, US government offices, arms manufacturers, and elsewhere.

Although Assad has fallen, the tragedies in Syria continue. The Syrian National Army, a Turkish proxy force, has captured the city of Manbij and aims to storm Kobane next.

Turkey intends to conquer all Rojava and carry out ethnic cleansing there.

As in 2019, solidarity actions are urgently needed.

Must be terrifying knowing that someone who you’ve never met has the power to destroy your life
