Let’s face it, we’re losing!

I promised an article on how the Right built back its power and the first thing they did was to accept that they were losing. It’s our turn…

Thank goodness for @rondeibert.bsky.social‬ and @citizenlab.ca. For years they’ve been shining a light on creepy government surveillance around the world and this is coming home, big time. bsky.app/profile/rond... #surveillance #cdnpoli #vancouver 🧵 1.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Jimmy Carter est le seul président américain a avoir eu le courage de critiquer à de multiples reprises le violent colonialisme d'Israël et l'apartheid en Palestine. Souhaitons qu'il ne soit pas le dernier.

"Mais personne dans la gauche québécoise ne défend le machisme, la misogynie et l’homophobie, peu importe le pays d’origine. En ce moment, le seul discours défendant ouvertement le machisme, la misogynie et l’homophobie, on le retrouve chez les masculinistes qui sont résolument anti-gauche."

Thanks for the boost, @tashahester.bsky.social! Don't miss this global exchange on how NGOs can do better supporting grassroots advocacy-activist groups.

Thinking Doing Changing@tashahester.bsky.social · 2y ago

In an NGO that would love to engage with grassroots groups but don't know how? In a grassroots group that can see how powerful it would be to harness the power of NGOs, but you don't trust they would actually collaborate with you? The Global Grassroots Support Network has an event for you!
