Agreed.

What the heck is the Overton Window, and how can we use it to advance progressive goals? Hi everyone, before we get started, our friends at the National Council of Nonprofits are sounding the alarm about the...

Make it impossible to be a billionaire. 100% tax rate on anything earned after 999M.

Grant mountains, rivers, forests, and other natural entities status and rights as individuals (if we’re ok treating corporations like people, why not a rainforest?)

Nationalize and phase out fossil fuel companies.

two nuclear states agreeing to ceasefire, even temporarily, is necessary.

however, do not forget Kashmir is still occupied.

And, in the long run, we will see more militarization in subcontinent, hindutva forces will be emboldened, water & resource wars will escalate, indian fascism will ramp up.

This is not war btwn two states, or just about Modi.

India is occupying Kashmir. There is no evidence that Pakistan was behind Pahalgam, but Indian imperial expansionism and Islamophobia drives this jingoism. Most impacted regions are lands of struggle - partioned Panjab & esp Kashmir. Free Kashmir

At this point, it could mean the blood quantum of the film’s PA to the director and that would track. WTF!

WTAF? I feel like I am living in a parody.

Once again, the fact that Palantir Canada does work for Canadian govts and is led by Canada's former ambassador to the US should be causing great concern. Where are the 🇨🇦 stories on this?

April 30, 2025 Dear Premier Smith: Re: Cease & Desist - Separatist Threats You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis - by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals - at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump's America. The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands. Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7 and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct. Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a "citizen" referendum. If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere. Sincerely, Chief Sheldon Sunshine Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro Mikisew Cree First Nation

Calvin's mom says "Life could be worse, Calvin" by a Liberal Party logo, Calvin says, "Life could be a lot better, too!" under an NDP logo, Calvin's dad says, "Life being worse builds character!" under a Conservative Party logo

The forever-correct way to translate Canadian parties to other countries without using their politics for reference

depressing to read polls suggesting that even amongst those who disagree with Trump, the one issue there is some support for is his fascistic immigration policy. border imperialism is so normalized amongst liberals - and even some radicals. stop believing migrants are your enemy, blame billionaires!

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

A must read from @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social.

“If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism.”

Trump White House Won’t Respond to Some Journalists Who Display Their Pronouns Some Trump administration officials have declined to answer questions from several journalists on the basis of their email signatures.

“As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, wrote to a New York Times reporter who had inquired about the potential closing of a famed climate research observatory.

Majority of attempts to ban books in US come from organised groups, not parents Last year 72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups and government entities; with just 16% of ban attempts made by parents

Doesn’t come as a surprise but interesting to see the data.

RFK Jr says 20% of Doge’s health agency job cuts were mistakes Health secretary says roles will need to be reinstated amid Trump administration’s push to slash federal workforce

This is the callous disregard for people exemplified by an administration made up of rich asshats who don’t understand that recklessly cutting jobs knowing you will “make mistakes” is not a rounding error. It matters. To people. Who have families. And mortgages. And student loan debt. And dignity.

Hey! That’s my cat!

The FCC is investigating Disney for checks notes…

DEI programs.

The same people screaming about “big government overreach” are now using the government to punish companies for hiring diverse talent.

Totally normal

not hypocritical at all.

US could see return of acid rain due to Trump’s rollbacks, says scientist who discovered it Gene Likens, who first identified acidic rainwater in 1960s, said the Trump administration’s ‘rollbacks are alarming’

This White House has now crossed the Rubicon that for centuries has kept the Attorney General from becoming a Consigliere for the American President as Mob Boss Extraordinaire. Read this directive and weep:

This is an outrage.
It is beyond words to express how vile it is to deny children legal representation.

Law Firm Bends in Face of Trump Demands Paul, Weiss — one of three law firms targeted by President Trump as part of his retribution campaign — said it resolved the conflict by agreeing to a range of commitments.

This is one of the saddest capitulations I have ever seen. A law firm honored for its bravery has more than bent the knee and kissed the ring: it has paid the ransom demanded by Trump.

ELROND: We elves do not meddle in the affairs of the lesser beings of Middle Earth. We watch from a distance, giving out 5% of our riches, and then we go to the West to the Undying Lands, the Land of Perpetuity, where as usual none of this really affects us.

As we’re seeing in the US right now: races to the bottom only stop when you reach... the bottom.

Mr Poilievre is promising to roll back climate progress, at a time when we need more & better policy - not less - to support industrial transformation in the face of the joint climate and trade crises.

In this photo provided by El Salvador's presidential press office, hooded prison guards are seen marching detainees hunched over & handcuffed. They are transferring deportees from the U.S. Terrorism Confinement Center in Tecoluca, El Salvador, Sunday, March 16, 2025. (El Salvador presidential press office via AP)

NEW: Photo released showing the treatment of 100s of people deported by Trump to El Salvador, in defiance of a federal judge ruling.

Remember, none of these individuals had any due process. They had no opportunity to contest any evidence, if is existed.

A grievous human rights violation.
