Lessons we can learn from the victory of New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani - Halifax Examiner We all win when we give power to working people and put guts, joy, hope, and even fun into politics.

Biker safety? Why would the city consider that? It might inconvenience one driver once and heaven knows we can’t have that!

I wish Halifax admin could understand how dangerous leaves in the bike lanes are. I narrowly avoided a bad crash on Bell road. The lanes are barely as wide as my handlebars, and over half full of wet leaves.

Weekly street cleaning had the roads clear though

But regulate the shit out of them; no pesticides or herbicides and a huge surtax on water usage. They’d be economically unviable if they weren’t allowed to just offload the externalities onto the public.

Well it got recorded today anyways. Edited? Who knows.

Shan embodies that which is so deeply wrong with the NDP.

The political party aligned with keeping children under the thumb of unaccountable adults that refuses to ban child marriage because either they believe in it or they don’t want to piss off their base defending pedophilia is unfortunately a very natural progression.

If you say things on TV like "Raping an 8yo is worse than raping a 15yo" you should be launched into a volcano

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

police dressed as military in front of a police tank

police dressed in camo like soldiers like total knobs

cops dressed head to toe in camo like full kit wankers

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Holy shit, I think the Board of Police Commissioners started laying the foundation for a structural policy change that is likely to actually achieve lasting police reform.

Good news.

Defense Department Delays Cleanup of ‘Forever Chemicals’ Nationwide

For example, it's notable that the monumental decision by Trump admin to delay cleanup of Forever Chemicals was mentioned a few times but not a major story meriting multiple articles/news cycles. It failed, in other words, to become a "moral panic" like shoplifting. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/c...

Shutdown Deal Kills Food Safety Rules After lobbyists spent big on the Trump administration and Democratic defectors, the government funding bill cut food-contamination rules and limited ultraprocessed-food research.

Instead, the most consequential stories for our safety are largely ignored by mainstream news, appearing every now and then as special investigations rather than daily urgent stories like crimes of the poor. outlets like @levernews.com try to close this gap. www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

you don't have to know the pain of holding a loved ones hand while they suffer and die to appreciate that the people who are supposed to be informing us about the world are engaging in a massive--often conscious, often unconscious--misinformation campaign that makes us fear the wrong things.

This pesticide is causing Parkinson’s #isay TikTok video by vVAbundant

this video does a good job explaining stuff that should be on the nightly news every night instead of mug shots of poor people and people of color accused of street crimes. one of the most important questions you can ask yourself is why it's not. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ds3KE9/

politicians and executives know that unnecessary everyday chemicals are leading to death and suffering for millions of us with loved ones who get cancer and parkinson’s. journalists don’t treat it as an urgent “public safety” issue like they treat shoplifting by poor people.

If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight

It’s publication day for @carterlavin.bsky.social, who was generous with his time when #BikeHfx was fighting our mayor over the summer. I’ve requested that the library acquire his book & you can learn more about it here:

Oh wow, forget I ever complained then

If you follow the money and examine the political alliances that are at work, the truth of this statement is inescapable. #Israel #Colonialism

This is a very good discussion about the present and future of independent journalism. The one model that I think is our only hope -- a municipal levy like hydro or water - isn't mentioned but great conversation nonetheless.

if the amount of people who send me AI-slop PR emails about my book had actually bought and read my book, I wouldn't need their PR.
