Why are London's public institutions still using X? This man says it's time to stop | CBC News
A Londoner is calling on the city to stop using the website X, formerly Twitter, to send out official communication because of the site's associations with hate speech and bigotry.
If you look at the engagement metrics on the City of London's posts on X/Twitter, they're generally low. The replies are outright nasty and dangerous.
London City Council already received a recommendation from its community advisory committee to divest from using X.

One more Conservative leaning towards the US rather than showing solidarity with Canada β¦ a reminder that 44% of Poilievreβs base is pro-Trump/51st state.
So Poilievre is not MAGA he says.
Big deal - his party IS MAGA and should not get in power or it will be the end of our country.

Number of active-duty troops authorized for border mission is now about 9K, with some arriving in coming days, defense officials say.
That includes 3K from a Stryker brigade combat team and aviation battalion approved by SECDEF last week. WaPo scooped that news Saturday.

A picture of my tweet on Twitter that reads:
βI will no longer be posting on this platform which has become increasingly toxic & is owned by a member of President Trumpβs inner circle. The US decision to unleash economic warfare on its closest ally will hurt people on both sides of the border. Please follow me on Bluesky.β
After much consideration, I'm stepping away from Twitter (or βXβ), now a space that amplifies misinformation, hate speech & corporate and Trump's interests over real conversations & accountability. I'm sticking with Facebook, Instagram and BlueSky plus face-to-face engagement in our communities!

Is your NGO forced to sign a statement agreeing to transphobia, opposing climate justice, or anything like that in order to get US funding?

Basic indicator of the viability of a permanent human presence on the Moon/Mars: do a quick survey of your inter-regional travel infrastructure. Not just its existence - its upkeep and quality. Would you want the same people charged to build & maintain *that* to be ensuring your oxygen?

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

You skate really hard into the opponent with your elbow up and hit them as hard as possible either with your forearm or the point of your elbow. Often used to slam the opponent into the boards.

Democracy Is Under Siege Globally. Canada Is Being Tested | The Tyee
How the well-honed playbook for whipping up authoritarian populism is being employed here and around the world.
And donβt forget what Harper continues doing as chair of the Intβl Democracy Union (IDU), global club for crypto-fascist political parties: Harper has been happy to support such champions of democracy as Orban + Modi, and his IDU deputy chair was Mike Roman (Trumpist charged re 2020 US election).

Also, don't forget that Harper and the IDU supported Trump and the GOP heading into the last US election. He cares not one damn bit about Canada. It's all about his oligarch pals.

This isnβt #France βs first rodeo going against the US.
Itβs funny. We always said that it would take an alien invasion to get the world to work together. Looks like the aliens were from here. Alien to common decency, and basic humanity.

PP an MP under Harper when they cheated in 3 elections in a row. In-Out scandal-2006, violation of campaign finance laws-2008, Robo-Call scandal-2011. Harper put PP in charge of Democratic Reform to overhaul the Elections Act. Bill C-23 was so bad it was referred to as the Unfair Elections Act.
