EVEN/ESPECIALLY if your thesis is "AI is just the worst and I refuse to use it," so that when microsoft/google/your government make it unescapable you can clearly articulate your sense of betrayal when you call them out on it/organize against it.

ISRAELI IS STARVING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IN GAZA TO DEATH

Anyone who has ever said the Holocaust was disgusting should be objecting to this. Loudly.

There are food trucks, waiting to deliver relief. Israel won't let them in.

Excited to share that the motion I co-submitted with Councillor @ptfry.bsky.social to restore municipal funding for Vancouver School Board food programs has passed at Council! This is a critical step toward ensuring no child goes hungry at school.

Our joint statement can be found below.

Not really a tip exactly but a note for the CBC Vancouver news room (so I'm tagging you @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social): US CBP is doing OUTBOUND vehicle inspections of ALL vehicles leaving the US by way of Peace Arch. Which, you know, sign of the times.

Last night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process.

Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more.

We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.

What will the federal election mean for Indigenous Rights? | The Narwhal The Conservative and Liberal parties diverge sharply on Indigenous issues. Here’s what that could mean for conservation, resource projects and costly legal battles over the duty to consult

Where do Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre stand on Indigenous Rights? And what could their positions mean for the future of Indigenous-led conservation in Canada? New from @michellecyca.com: thenarwhal.ca/indigenous-r...

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) is one of the most quietly effective tools the federal government has. It is the center of our industrial policy providing loans that banks won't give for energy innovation. It funds real projects. Battery factories. Nuclear reactors. Geothermal energy. Car factories.

Please Echo This Around Loud and clear. We have got to get the language right. When someone is picked up off the street and put on a plane to a prison in another country with out any access to due process under the law- they ARE NOT being deported - They are being DISAPPEARED!

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Screenshot of BBC News feed reporting on the meeting between Trump and the president of El Salvador. Trump is quoted as saying he plans to deport "as many people as possible" a number in the millions. Shortly thereafter he says he'd like to "go after home grown criminals".

It's really very hard to overstate just how deeply bad it is that
Trump is now openly talking about deporting millions of more people to El Salvador, including US citizens.

This really does feel like a turning point. Like if the US is going to walk back from the cliff's edge, it must do so now or it will be too late. There are things that cannot be undone.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.
