i want to live in a world where, "these people are suffering under our current social rules, we should help them" was a convincing argument for change

@brianschatz @mehdirhasan Brian you supported doubling ICE’s budget last year, backing what you described as a Republican “border security” bill. Given ICE’s lawlessness, do you think, in retrospect, this was a wise idea?

@globeandmail Can we defend our healthcare from privatization? Can we defend Canada Post from people who want to shut it down? Can we ensure that everyone has a safe and secure home?

Opinion: Canadians want to be able to defend Canada. Our government should provide a way theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

No, that's not what a keffiyeh means. It signals solidarity with the Palestinian people undergoing a genocide. Do you have anything to say about starving & killing women & children, Nico? CIJA, Israel's lobby group here, is foreign interference. Sean, meanwhile, has integrity.

I mean seriously is there a sicker society in the world than one where people lose their jobs and then just roam the streets starving and covered in dirt and everyone just says "don't look at them"

@kevinroose are you writing the book or did an ai write it?

Some news: I'm writing a book about AGI! I've spent the past few years hanging out in San Francisco's AGI scene — the small cluster of people working to build human-level AI, or trying to stop it from being built, or living as if it's already here. I've heard a lot of great stories, and done a bunch of columns and podcasts. But I think this era also deserves a real-time, journalistic account that captures all of the nuance and detail and behind-the-scenes drama of the race to AGI in a durable format. So I'm writing one. Get in touch if you have stories to share!

The police force with the highest paid officers in Canada is expected to be millions of dollars over budget. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

Again. Projected to be over budget by millions again. They've also never been publicly audited.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

VicPD will now do a land acknowledgment before they sweep an encampment and throw away someone’s home and all of their belongings

🚨 Aid operations in #Gaza are on the brink of collapse. The consequences are already deadly. We call on world leaders to press for: ❗️Lifting the blockade ❗️A renewed ceasefire ❗️Letting aid organizations operate in line with humanitarian principles #ActForHumanity

Fuck like I know the numbers and I know this shit happens every day but it still levels me when it’s someone I knew personally. RIP man I hope it’s easier on the other side. Wish we coulda done better by you

This is the hardest and most heartbreaking thing I have ever had to write. Trey Helten was my friend and a friend to so many people. He touched so many people in so many ways. He left a legacy of kindness and selfessness that was an inspiration to all. Through his example… we won’t forget to forget the politics and remember the people. I will miss you Trey. vancouversun.com/news/obituary-…

I have been tweeting this every day. Will you join me? Over 5700 Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women #MMIW #MMIWG2S. #MMIP.

Israel will likely violate the ceasefire, and will exploit its loopholes, and will continue ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and will continue violating international law. This should serve daily as a reminder to us all, that there is no peace without liberation.

Why don't the other reporters there ask that question?

A more senior medical colleague told me that the way people are being suspended from work as doctors for solidarity with Palestine is completely unprecedented, and doctors who are accused of sexual abuse not even being punished with the severity of ‘guilty until proven innocent’.

Unwavering solidarity to @ProfKFranke. Yet another victim of the pro-Israelism that is turning universities, and other spaces of public life, into places of obscurantism, discrimination and oppression. What a loss for @ColumbiaUniver.

@disclosetv Trudeau is a centre right Neoliberal. Anyone calling him a leftist is 1) dumb or 2) trying to make you dumb.
