Taxation is not enough they have to be expropriated Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!
Hey man, got aany of those avenging angels we could borrow? Just for like a week.
Religion does not belong in politics in Canada. Keep these dangerous and violent belief systems away from government buildings.
Every warning sign on every issue that we've pointed out about Carney has been borne out. Every time, Liberal partisans first told us to be quiet and to wait and see when we spoke up. Every time they then rationalized what we correctly predicted once it happened. Over and over and over.
No I'm pretty sure thats called absurdism
I dont but if there's one thing I've learned is there's a ton of shitty people who absolutely do.
He needs to enforce his state's antidiscrimination laws if he's gonna protect the LGBTQ+ community, statements aren't enough.
Please I am begging everyone to stop saying that Pritzker hasn't thrown trans people under the bus when he refuses to enforce his state's own anti-discrimination laws to force hospitals in Illinois that have stopped providing gender affirming care to minors to do it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
trust me, if they were offering policies people actually wanted to vote for they could talk about them anywhere on the range from wokest college proffesor ever to barely-literate ape-man and it wouldnt matter a bit
israel is a colonial state carrying out a genocide and anyone supporting it is the moral equivalent of a nazi in 1940
For @taylorlorenz.bsky.social's Usermag.co, Cynthia Conti-Cook, Pratika Katiya, and I wrote about who actually benefits from age ID laws, how they exemplify broader digital ID harms, and ways we can resist. This piece adds to the cautionary tale chorus with more context and resistance strategies.
No i get it, I just think the standard should be, phones on silent, schoolwork needs to be done first, headphones in, no facetiming in class, y'know sensible stuff.
"Solve a problem" and it's just a blanket ban. They ban people from going in the forest instead of doing any fire prevention here too cause it's just easier to ban it then spend money actually solving it.
If people are unable to focus if a silent screen is out (headphones should always be used, I'm not a monster) maybe that person has other issues that should be addressed. Maybe some adhd to be diagnosed.
Literally every class I've ever attended had the actual lesson finish with like, half the time left which was then dedicated to bookwork, homework if you didnt finish. Yes, it's absolutely possible to finish early.
Yes and I think it shouldn't be, like what part of that are you not grasping? It's a difference of opinion. I get I'm not gonna change your mind, you're not gonna change mine.
And I think yours is. Congrats. Welcome to politics.
If you were already done your calculus lesson, yeah she was. Do you know how common it was for people to finish early and just chill on their phone, or with a book, or put in some headphones and draw? And authoritarian teachers will definitely take advantage.
Except no one ever wanted cigs sold on campus, no parent is forcing their kids to chainsmoke and banning smoking has not eliminated it from schools. But yeah, great analogy, definitely no holes in that.
Teaching people healthy coping mechanisms is not dare but nice try. Ignoring the problems doesnt actually solve them. Libs report being happier than leftists and it's mainly due to ignorance so thats not an argument I'm going to accept just based on your repeating it.
Kay but this is not M4A, this is actively limiting people's access to information and accessibility thats been going on forever. It's the same old "protect the children" argument you hear every time people want to treat them property or second class citizens. Obviously there's nothing else we can do
And of course we cant just address that issue, blanket ban for everyone cause some people are a problem. There's also less evidence when police/school officers abuse their power. So instead of teaching them how to handle it we're repeating DARE but with phones.
1) parents can limit that if it's such an issue. 2) probably cause their anxious nothings ever done about your gun culture. Maybe do something there instead of punishing everyone else. 3) apart from those problem parents no one's making these kids use their phone. What happened to autonomy?
Could the school not just block TikTok from their wifi? I know some companies used to do it with Facebook, dont see why this would be different.
How hard is it to understand that genocide does not have levels of bad. It is an absolute. Gaza was already decimated under Biden and Harris, and Harris committed to continuing support for a genocide. Pretending that is okay, or something people should overlook is vile.
Couldn't you solve the issue with a couple poles in the middle at either end?
the era of small government is over and we can either have armed thugs with badges disappearing people or universal health care and high speed rail
Her "concern" was to tell protesters to shut up and be quiet. You dont get to rewrite history. People were begging dems to listen and got told to pound sand but yeah your so fucking concerned.
This is the Democratic Party. Just as violent for Israel as the GOP. Just as paid too. So much for the 1st Amendment, but that’s Zionism. Anti-constitutional. Just like Dems. Just like chuds. And then yall are like “vote harder.” Fck off.
Lib supporters. Speak up, act up or this is how you will be known. You have leadership's ear more than others so it falls to you more than others. I don't make the rules.
Israel is starving Palestinian children to death.
You're right; We need fighters. People who'll fight for the most vulnerable, who'll fight for trans rights, who'll fight to change the system that keeps so many people down. Oh you meant Republicans? Yeah, fuck off.
Due to Mark Carney's recent call for federal ministries to significantly reduce program spending. The spending targets would see cuts of 7.5 per cent in the fiscal year that begins in April 2026, followed by 10 per cent the year after and 15 per cent in 2028-29 www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
‘Carney “is going to have to be pretty careful here in how he responds” because it “might impact ongoing negotiations for a trade deal.” If you don’t ever assert your own interests for fear of what another country might do, you’re not sovereign. You’re a vassal state. Time for Canada to choose.
If swearing is where you draw a moral line in the sand and not the reasons that have upsetted trans people here, then this is the most polite way to say to you "Fuck. Off."
Guess what. There are people fighting against them that aren't willing to throw vulnerable communities under the bus. But you dont actually care about that, you're fine with throwing them away as long as it's dems doing it and you can hide behind "civility"
Two things are equally true and equally horrific: the Trump regime is actively trying to wipe out over 2.8 million Americans and every day we're told by ostensible liberals that those same 2.8 million Americans don't matter anyway.
Synthetic polymers were supposed to free us from the limitations of our natural resources. Instead they led to an environmental crisis
“Didn’t vote” wins every election in America. The “didn’t vote” demographic is far larger than the vanishingly small sliver of “moderate republicans” that democrats pander to claiming it’s the only way for them to win elections Populism and progressivism are the way to reach out to “didn’t votes”
The problem is, like with immigration, instead of saying “actually, that’s not a problem” Democrats agree with the fascist framing and then propose half measure solutions, leading people to just vote for the reactionary party They help produce these crime and immigration narratives they lose on
once you've decided to make yourself ok with an atrocity, the main task is finding an excuse to not give a shit, and once you've decided to not give a shit, you don't really give a shit what the excuse is; once you've decided not to perceive atrocity, you also cannot perceive an atrocious excuse
super interesting that bsky has suspended the accounts of two prominent trans women this week, both of whom were critical of known transphobes and used fairly tame language. it's probably nothing.
Four decades of “trickle-down” neoliberal economics have led Canada to this 🫤
did you just make it bannable to say trans rights or free palestine? because Trans Rights and Free Palestine
it is deeply mentally and spiritually fracturing to be very aware that the global ruling class is, for all intents and purposes, suicidal (and by extension homicidal) while you, an ordinary human being, want to perpetuate life.

These aren’t even bad people, personally; they’re kind to children and animals, give to charity, they’re generous to me. But you can’t talk politics with them because there’s absolutely nothing there except spite, resentment, bullshit and a desire for policemen to club fuck out of people they detest
This is why I spent two decades banging my head off desks. There is literally nothing any vaguely progressive political project can offer these people that will impress them: they already deserved any benefits, so you’re only giving them their due. And any cruelties should’ve been done years ago.
The study looked at more than 200,000 evictions in purpose-built rentals and found financial firms pursue evictions at a rate 1.5 times higher than chain landlords and 2.5 times more than single-building landlords. www.thestar.com/real-estate/... un-paywalled link archive.ph/WWoH5
Progressive policies are actually immensely popular among the general public but for some reason politicians never seem to think it's time to do them.
A new poll by the Israel Democracy Institute shows that 4 out of 5 Jewish Israelis – 79% - are not troubled by reports of Palestinian famine and suffering in Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/poll...

It actually is because a huge point of overlap between both MAGA and neoliberalism is selling off and privatizing vital functions of the government and creating scapegoats, which both parties historically are responsible for. MAGA just accelerated the process.
The thing that everyone said would happen is happening
Find the leak yet or just more gopher holes?
The latest news story I wrote for @abworker.bsky.social
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
Yeah I bet your fine with raising your income taxes cause thats not where your money. Billionaires dont need higher taxes, you need your assets seized. Companies can go to the workers, everything else to the commons. I'm so done with letting y'all hoard resources.
Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.
They also literally label trans people as pornographic. These people want every photo and video of any trans person, no matter how benign, banned as porn.
Tell me again how Gavin is the hope for the future and trans women were being unreasonable to pledge not to vote for him. Tell me again how excited you are for him to run, you marks, you stooges. And then we'll wait a week, and he'll disgrace himself again.
every time you read a tech company "commit" money to something know that they can (and often will) yank that money, and it will oftentimes not be reported
pritzker has talked a really big game about protecting trans kids and adults for months but i guess that was all bullshit

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone from at least middle management up remains the moderate response. I'm not a moderate tho, I think everyone on their payroll needs a referral to the Hague
It’s actually hilariously sad how easily people are fooled by people’s post politics PR rehab “Kamala was actually against the genocide” is the same as the “George bush sad old man that paints dogs” garbage THEY HIRE PR FIRMS FOR THIS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
...it's yarrow and mint actually...
Stop infantilizing yourselves, your leaders and others and pretending like you “don’t have choices”, or you “didn’t know”, or “I had no idea”, or “what can we do now?” Take some fkn responsibility. Try that.
I can't believe I'm only hearing about this now and it's already been 10 days??
Kay but you're literally an idiot if you think no one on the left has said this.
The left is not silent on the alienation of capitalism and patriarchy and social media radicalizing men and profit oriented dating sites and no third spaces and an unstable future and economy leading less people to settle down and people working more We just don’t frame it as “men not getting laid”
“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.
Do we want our kids to go hungry? No? Then we transform what we eat & how we produce it. We elect governments willing to dismantle the multinationals & fight for a fair & sustainable food system. Or we watch food shortages & hunger rip our society to pieces.
