Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

We get to sit and watch billionaire corporations get refunds.

While I appreciate that companies did sue the government over the tariffs the public isn’t going to see a dime of it and it’s the consumer that ultimately wound up and still is paying for these tariffs.

So all the livestreams and article excited about today’s refund queue is disappointing

In case anyone is still wondering why the social sciences and humanities have been systematically defunded and marginalized over the past generation. Seems like a basic knowledge of anthropology would be useful right about now.

This 🔽 but read the entire thread.

This is why "but what do we do with the sexual predators?" doesn't work as a response to abolition.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO WITH THEM NOW: WE MAKE SURVIVORS WRITE THEM APOLOGY LETTERS.

Indigenous patient who sought ER help twice in 2 days was 'crying' in pain before she died, inquest hears | CBC

I know Indigenous people in Canada who are scared to go to hospitals because anti-Indigenous racism is all too common in healthcare.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

B.C. to table legislation to suspend Indigenous rights law Monday: First Nations sources First Nations sources say British Columbia Premier David Eby’s government will introduce legislation to suspend parts of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act on Monday.

This a very dishonourable thing to do. Eby and his government failed so broadly to make DRIPA real, to map out the institutional changes required, and to educate and enlist the public in the work, it almost looks like intentional sabotage. Shameful. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

"why are they doing this?"
To kill open source ventures like Linux distros because the cost of adhering to this law is too much to expect these projects to pay and maintain, forcing everyone to use windows and train their AI/farm metadata

They'll say it's for protecting kids or something tho

They are the actual eco-terrorists.

Memories of “advice” from a doctor when my partner & I moved across the country to start new jobs while I was still writing my dissertation & we were first time house buyers & trying to figure out a custody battle with her ex & I kept getting fevers due to undiagnosed Crohn’s.

Reduce stress. Sure.

Never forget. It's always the same DINOs. Every single time. Schumer has got to be booted from leadership. No idea how Gillibrand keeps getting reelected. Fetterman won't be. These people are simply lost at this point, and can only be described as pro-genocide.

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

It's official. The Democratic Party is divided on continued military support for Israel, and leaning in the direction of withdrawing support. If you care about this issue, you should call your senator and praise or complain, depending.

None of these are the only options wtf?

There are a bajillion options and “forcing your artist friend” to do anything isn’t one of them lmao

You are not entitled to people’s artistic labor in any way

I feel like I'm actually losing my mind. They're just getting on TV and saying "why aren't we knocking up the 15 year olds anymore" and that's just a thing they're saying. in public. on TV.
