Guys. If you can’t see that Gaza is a model for how the rich of the world plan to deal with climate refugees, I’m not sure where your head’s at. All this military build up in Canada and Europe? That’s for strafing the poor as they attempt to escape the hell we’re turning the planet into. Sorry.
Thank heavens there are some politicians 👇 who get it. Bravo Zack! 👏
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 7h agoClimate breakdown isn't just costing lives, it's scorching our economy. We need to redesign our economy for a hotter climate, and make oil and gas firms pay.
Wow, that's... not very much. Canada's added 181,000 jobs since April. So it's like a few months of no new job growth. Doesn't seem like a high price to pay to cut one connection to a country who keeps electing a mad king.

My office has been in contact with the woman who recorded this video of an ICE agent drawing a gun on her. She is a Northern Virginia native and a mother.
Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · 18h agoVideo of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
I was banned from Province House including the grounds for 5 months for humming. As I said to the media: “I think this is an overreach, and it doesn't send the right message around valuing of democracy.” www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...
Now's as good of a time as any to reiterate that I have never seen anyone in a mainstream newspaper or magazine write about how Mamdani, El Sayed and Hamawy are representing positive masculinity.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 2d agoDon't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym. It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.
Some positive publishing news to counter some of the doomerism: total book sales, and adult fiction specifically, increased in 2025. Print was 73% of market and digital audio/ebook 22%. (I guess the remaining is physical audio?) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
Publishing Sales Hit $32.5 Billion in 2025
Total estimated industry sales rose 2.5% over 2024, according to the year-end report from the AAP, and the number of books sold inched up 0.4%, to 3.15 billion units.

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · yesterdayMore on Leipzig drones: German investigators say a hidden antenna near Leipzig Airport was used to boost control signals and guide an explosive‑laden drone toward parked Ukrainian cargo planes. DNA was recovered from the drone and an unexploded Semtex device, one trace reportedly leads to Lithuania.
There is obviously something deeply wrong with humans as a species.
Gonna staple this to the forehead of every single pundit who writes a “oh the billionaires will leave if you tax them” piece like Martin Luther on meth
Citizen.Coping@propcazhpm.bsky.social · 2d agoMassachusettes "Millionaires Tax", which was targeted to fund transportation and education, has been a resounding success. It has funded FREE school lunch for ALL students, FREE buses in lowest income communities (people can get to work, etc.), and FREE community college. And "exodus" was minimal.
watching members of the public discover in amazement that current events have historical context is somehow both encouraging and discouraging
When I posted that #MarkCarney was 'a cold-blooded technocrat in the service of capital,' someone accused me of 'hyperbole' and 'extremist language.' I believe that the term I used was both accurate and fully justified and I know I'm not alone in thinking along such lines.

The french word for bakery is boulangerie, which literally means "the angry bowl" for some reason.
