Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Solidarity is the only way

We Who Believe in Democracy Must Fight to Make It Real We wake daily to new spectacles of violence and humiliation: kidnappings in broad daylight, attacks on unions, LGBTQ people, women, and immigrants, the erosion of long-cherished rights. It’s no longer...

To renew democracy, we have to organize fearlessly in the face of a repressive state, despite all the reasons we have for being afraid. labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

We are going to Win

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

That stupid fucking arm pull he does to knock people off balance drives me crazy.

The Trans Mountain Expansion Project cost $34B, and it used the existing right-of-way. A pipeline to the northwest coast would require trailblazing through some of the most difficult terrain in North America.

There is quite literally zero chance it can be done cheaper than the TMEP.

The BC Ferries story has been a big one lately, with lots of disinfo and spin thrown around.

Can you outline what a path towards expanding our domestic shipbuilding industry might look like?

In other words, don’t watch/read/consume content from CBS.
It has now become a msm misinformation centre

Yes please!

No matter what happens next, this did not happen in nazi germany.

Privatization erodes accountability. Once public services become businesses, decisions serve investors before communities, and the people those systems were built for lose any real voice in how they’re managed. It’s democracy hollowed out through contracts.

People get so weird about blocking, as though it's punishment for something. And I understand. But also:

People have the right to curate their spaces. If someone needs to NOT have me in THEIR space for their peace, good for them! I don't have the right to be in someone else's space.

Also check your local laws, but there's a good chance your employer is responsible for providing the PPE required to do your job.

Full-face respirator + side impact rated hardhat with chinstrap.

I wouldn't attend any protest where there's a chance of violence without them.

Being autistic is being told why didn’t you ask for help.

Because asking required social scripting, shame buffering, tone analysis, and a risk assessment.

Every time someone talks about “curing” autism, what they’re really saying is:

That autism is a disease
That we are broken
That we shouldn’t exist

It’s not just wrong - it’s dehumanising

We’re not a problem to be solved.
We’re real, valid humans

Why is that so hard to see?

#AutismAdvocacy

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

Many historians of Rome identify Roman generals becoming the personal sources of payment for their armies as a key step in the downfall of the Republic, since it personalized military authority and freed armies to fight for their immediate leader, who paid them, instead of for the Republic

Haymarket affair - Wikipedia

Probably a good time for folks to familiarize themselves with this

We've seen all of these tactics before

This is not just a matter of electoral strategy either, it also aligns with research on the topic regarding mainstreaming and normalisation

Trying to appease or integrate the far right only makes things worse, particularly for the communities at the sharp end but for democracy more generally too
