Harm reduction saves lives. The Ontario government's decision to cut all public funding for supervised consumption sites in the province is a deadly policy decision that will result in more deaths from overdoses. Supervised consumption sites are a healthcare service for people who use drugs.

A week of state and media fear-mongering with the express purpose of making this rally as unsafe as possible. The last minute injunction was never intended to be "real," just another way to sew confusion

Absurd. Via @justsayrad.bsky.social on the hellsite, The Toronto Film Critics Association censored lle-Máijá Tailfeathers acceptance speech because she mentioned Palestine. Both weird and pathetic!

The figures from the UN come as Israeli forces continue striking parts of the country and also staged a ground incursion into south Lebanon's border zone this morning

meet the new rupture, same as the old rupture

embarrassing that anyone not born yesterday took Carney's "middle powers" Davos speech as anything more than a barefaced, cynical embrace of militarism and austerity

"The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our local economy."

In what could be the “largest rent strike in the US in the last 100 years," a coalition of tenant + labor unions representing over 25K workers are threatening a mass rent strike in the face of the ongoing occupation by ICE. www.commondreams.org/news/minneso...

Campaign statement on the divestment here:

Frederick Wiseman - rare case where a 96-year-old filmmaker’s death feels tragic because they had so much more left to do. Uninterrupted streak of curiosity, empathy, wisdom, and quiet anger, ended only by the reality of living in a human body.

Frederick Wiseman was the greatest American artist to have ever lived. RIP

Cuban government has informed airlines that they only have about 24 hours worth of fuel left for planes.

Beyond the obvious damage that suddenly shutting down any country's air travel would have, a not at all small % of food and medicine in Cuba comes by luggage on airlines

i assume something similar will happen with AI, where everyone gets to drop the pretense of hoping they'll discover the liberatory applications a giant machine built to spit out racism and CSAM

in a way i almost "prefer" crypto now that the ecosystem around it is at least honest about it is - no more people trying to sell us the idea of unions existing on the blockchain or whatever, just pure craven speculation and trying to turn everyone into a gambling addict
