In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Want to save democracy worldwide?
Dismantle Palantir until nothing is left.
This is actually a big step for the Federal NDP.
To be unshamed to call itself a democratic socialist party after decades of shying around the term.
Feed the hungry, protect workers, build homes on scale, and employ the eager.
Big tent socialism is here, and I love it!
And now, for my next trick, I will make 29 million tax dollars disappear into thin air.
Doug Ford buys himself a $28M private jet.
Ontario continues to burn under poverty and collapsing systems of care.
Extreme wealth is deactivating our democracy. We must address the root of the problem: the distribution of power and wealth. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
Honestly, I want humanity back in our politics.
Never apologize for being emotional about losing your Dad.
Some loving thoughts about my sweet dad from a conversation with the excellent writer Courtney Shea. A little window into my world in the most intense two weeks of my life.

@avilewis.ca's speaking out against grocers cannot come fast enough.
Loblaws caught overcharging for underweight meat. I despise grocery prices in this country.
I wish we had a federal food co-operative framework. I'd happily join one.
Education is not a business.
Schools are not factories.
Our children are not widgets to be churned out.
Do better, @fordnation.

And even if you don't believe Carney would do that, laws persist beyond PMs. Imagine what a right-wing government would do with the security infrastructure behind it.
Do we want the false illusion of security by inviting government into our social media under the guise of saving kids.
I shudder to think what a federal government could do with the amount of digital surveillance such a ban would provide that isn't stated in the law.
I can see folks like Indigneous youth organizers being tracked online on Facebook, Bluesky, etc., when discussing pipeline protests?
I really cannot say that I support the Liberal's motion to adopt a social media ban for under 16s.
Enforcement will be impossible and circumventable anyway. If anything we should be fighting for stronger data privacy rights.
Jesus christ.
$925 M for A.I., coupled with business tax breaks.
Can we tackle cost of living issues instead of basically going full blown technocratic neoliberal?
$925M would be live changing for rural and northern communities in Canada. Not water chugging data centres.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.
I can’t believe it 😭
Goodbye Orbán!
Congrats Hungary!
Artemis II has splashed down!
Phew. Watching vessel reentry is always nailbiting!
Fantastic work from everyone involved!
Anyone want to place bets that Doug Ford will run for Federal Leadership if PP gets booted?
Isn't Gladu also connected to Suncor and then wanted to use the CAF against Indigenous pipeline protesters?
That's one wild fucking big tent party there lol.
Kitchen table economics (rent control, public grocers, nationalization of vital economic drivers for nation building, and a stronger directly public housing developer, etc) play better than market-safe items like P3 blackbox solutions.
All Avi has to do now is play to the tune of Canadian wallets.
Why?
I suspect with a fallen Conservative party, more of a spotlight will be cast on @avilewis.ca in the media to prevent him from chipping away at the Liberals. If the NDP sticks with its left-wing policy that tackles cost of living - having a distinct voice will appeal to working class votes.
Another Conservative passes over to the Liberals and it sounds like Pierre's Comms Director is resigning.
Maybe we'll see a CPC collapse?
I'm willing to bet we'll see an NDP rise with the fall of the Cons, especially if the party falters between a moderate and fringe wing.
Art of the Deal.
Completely destroy what remains of any goodwill towards America.
Skyrocket gas prices.
Threaten nuclear Armageddon for a war no one ever wanted.
Accomplish literally nothing in Iran and cause billions in wasted taxpayer money.
Great job, folks!
Team America at its finest.
“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.”
Shirer, William L. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (p. 331)
Somewhere out there, a defense contractor's stock graph is having a better day than humanity.
Wild how capitalism can price literally everything, and somehow decided that human life is the cheapest commodity of all.
A human soul? We call that non-performative asset these days.
If - god help us all - the Washington Regime drops a nuke in Iran, the world must immediately sanction the U.S., and Trump must be removed from power in any way possible.
It would embolden other powers to use them if our reaction is nothing more political paralysis.

Cronyism and greed in Ontario. I am absolutely disgusted with this province.
The killing of environmental protection acts like the ESA is purely to open more public land up for transfers to the cancerously greed rot that infests this province.
