I have the time today, so let's break down this story - which is a very nice, fluffy account of the work Op. UNIFIER has been doing in Ukraine.

This is a really long-winded way of saying "in almost five years, the only progress we've made on the transit file is introducing a decades old payment method". #FordfailedOntario #onpoli

to make amends for its Koch scion puff piece NYT should do a glossy profile on a working class person picked at random once a week for a year. This would (1) no doubt be more interesting than Koch’s woo woo progeny (2) put 12 publicists out of a job (the lord’s work)

"I profoundly regret being caught hanging out with German neo-Nazis. It'll make it much harder for my friends and I to continue to curry favour with fascists in this country and maintain plausible deniability."

CPC MPs Dr. Leslyn Lewis and @ColinCarrieCPC trying to distance themselves. Take responsibility and resign instead of hiding behind your Twitter settings. Keep tagging and don't let them hide from it. Fascists aren't welcome here.

Just a reminder that liberal democracy's capacity to combat fascism is limited only to the extent to which fascism attacks its institutions. When fascism "legitimately" captures institutions, through accepted institutional processes, liberal democracy is powerless.

Watching Canadian conservatives demand that Jagmeet Singh and the NDP call a no confidence vote to "regain their trustworthiness" is the funniest bad-faith declaration in #cdnpoli.

Another 27 humans died because two arbitrary social constructs couldn't determine where those 27 were in relation to an imaginary line drawn on a map hundreds of years ago. Individual military personnel scapegoated for the deaths.

Domestic disaster relief should not be assigned to the military, but to civilian specialists employed by the state. So why does Canada’s government use the military for domestic disaster relief? Because it’s good PR for the military. In other words, it’s a propaganda stunt.

In other words, Canada takes Israeli forces at their word that they are serious about stopping settler attacks, despite all of the evidence. Israeli soldiers often regularly participate in the attacks & use force against Palestinians trying to defend themselves. Preposterous.

Elon says "her [Harris's] father is a Marxist economist... She was raised that way" while endorsing Trump on Spaces convo. Big business tends to side with the extreme right when threatened with even *the idea* of protections for the working class.
