Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Which is why I’m so grateful to be doing the work of rebuilding the NDP into a national fighting force for the working class, and to see so many people rushing through the wide-open doors of our movement.
It will either be harnessed by progressive politics, to balance the scales of society and make a fairer economy for all… Or it will fuel fascism. That’s the choice. And happily, it's up to us!
This groundswell of populist rage is legitimate, and it’s a completely predictable consequence of our economic system and how it has been managed for the last 50 years. The desire to push back against the smug arrogance and creepy impunity of elites is a defining force in politics today.
People are furious with ultra rich, powerful elites. The social contract has been broken. People who work for a wage or salary (not a dividend or bonus) just can’t make the household math make sense. And we’re looking up at the unlimited wealth of the 1% and we are pissed.
Of course there are many factors shaping this shift, most unique to the US. But there is an underlying feeling that we share in Canada, and its importance cannot be overstated.

I think that everyone should watch this video. So often people blame victims. As someone who was sexually assaulted, and was a victim of child abuse, it's particularly irksome to me. There's a lot to be gained from learning about rhetoric, logic and fallacies.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
