I will be on CBC with Ian Hanomansing at 19h05 tonight to talk about Canada announcing that it will recognize Palestinian statehood.

The sexual assault trial of 5 hockey players is over, they were found not guilty. But many of us will never be confident that justice was served. The judge mishandled the trial, dismissed the jury and the alleged victim was subjected to day after day of interrogation by 5 different legal teams.

Harvard has officially closed its office for LGBTQ life. They folded it into the office of culture and community.

There are affinity support offices for veterans and religious students but not for LGBTQ students, students of color, or women.

Absolute cowards.

It’s worth naming that the reason people already have these “neutral” alternative phrases in their back pocket is because this is the language white supremacist scholars use to hide their hateful work.

And now they’re asking all of us to use it to legitimize them.

People briefed on the negotiations say the United States would be guaranteed first right of refusal on Canadian resources. That is quite a prize at a time when countries around the world are scrambling to line up their supplies.

“the United States would be guaranteed first right of refusal on Canadian resources”
Omg no

The French have a first right of refusal on French African resources. That’s how France strips their wealth

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE                THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

In Compton, a city south of Los Angeles that sits across a freeway from Paramount, some demonstrators are zipping through the dark in off-road vehicles, blasting music, while others chant near a police line. Most are standing around chatting or filming on their phones. There’s no indication that this crowd plans on leaving anytime soon.

Wondering how enthusiastic the CA National Guard is about going into Compton?

In COVID’s wake

This book is *psychotic*. Revisionist, fact-free propaganda from the very first page. I know I shouldn’t be at this point, but it’s shocking that the authors were featured on The Daily

It’s important that we name that sociologists (including Jess) have been raising the alarm about these trends toward misogyny in young men and boys for a decade.

This isn’t something that sprung up out of nowhere. It has been brewing for their whole adult lives.

Safe from what?

“Jordan Peterson is a bad and lazy thinker, and an even worse writer,” writes Luke Savage. “But he is also symptomatic of a more generalized decline in the quality of public intellectuals.” thewalrus.ca/is-jordan-peters...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

What’d I tell y’all? The man is a Conservative

Trump administration is minimizing white supremacist threat, officials warn Coming changes at the state department follow pattern of moving resources away from programs that focus on preventing far-right violence

“According to this new updated [State Dept style] guide, the term “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism”– “REMVE” or “RMVE” – was now banned, except in situations where they were legally compelled to use it.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🧵Alberta’s new legislation to force people who use drugs into withdrawal and long-term confinement passed this week. There are few limitations, despite political pronouncements that it will only target the “most severely addicted.” 1/

Dear #AcademicSky: have you told all your friends, family members how much you make? Especially if you are in humanities and social sciences?

We need to counter the myth that we're these wealthy elite.

I just resigned a tenured, full professorship where, after 14 years, I was finally making...

And I think we academics need to do better to explain who we are, what we do, and how we are compensated for our work. Those government grants don't help us live large. They help us work so that everyone can live better. They help us improve our communities, people's lives, our various ecologies.

What could go wrong when a private company with more than 5,000 cameras uses hacked personal data to develop a platform called NOVA that springboards from license plate reader to real time surveillance, not only of a driver, but the people they are connected to and then shares with police? 👮

This is simplistic but I'mma put it out here anyway... the socialist revolutions of the late 19th / early 20th centuries started a radical process of political, social, cultural progress even within bourgeois society.

Three Alberta separatism myths No, we wouldn’t be able to force the rest of Canada to build pipelines.

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.

But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...
