As a Minneapolis resident, I’ll explain it this way: they already outnumber all PDs in the metro area, and we’re still not backing down. They have assault rifles and Kevlar vs our phones and whistles, and we’re still not backing down. Their morale is already shit, and we’re just getting started.

A screenshot from the Rankin Bass 'Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer' stop motion film. Rudolph has his eyes closed is being chided by his father and mother inside a cave. There is yellow text overlaid on the image, reading: "Deviationg from cultural hegemony will be met with oppression and ostracization unless it can be exploited by the powerful for economic gain or social capital."

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?
Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."
Anything that punctures that myth helps. +
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
I recently reflected on the Royal Society Conference on the Future of Scientific Publishing and summarized my thoughts in an ISSP blog post: www.uottawa.ca/research-inn...

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Budgets are about priorities.
Under the UCP, funding for public education and universities remains frozen, resulting in 'cuts by inflation.'
Funding for private schools has increased above inflation.
In a real way, this means money is flowing from public to private schools.
Priorities.
