@n_hold Did you see the Black Camera issue on "Finally Got the News"? Good to see some attention to this work. And yes, definitely need a book on the League and their influence on rank-and-file caucuses in the 1970s too.

@kmunro_econ That's great. I used to lecture entirely without powerpoint. I developed powerpoint slides during the Covid online pivot, and then kept them when we moved back to in person, but have never liked them for exactly this reason. Also, sans slides, lecture is more reciprocal.

@Navglad Sorry for the abysmally slow reply. I did not get a notification of your reply. Twitter glitch.

@Navglad Where does this data come from? I live in Vancouver and speaking from a long experience of organizing with unhoused people here, where shelters are a miserable dead end that bump you off priority lists for (shitty / trailer) housing.

The magic number is 27. After 27 interviews with outreach workers with police and looming in the background and the bulldozer idling in the street, unhoused people might finally agree to move into a dangerous, filthy, humiliating shelter with no route out to decent housing.

Mamdani says his new homeless encampment sweep policy is diff than past sweep policies cuz of the 7 days of outreach before booting ppl from encampments. "Their 3rd, their 4th, their 5th, their 6th reaction may be one of interest in the possibility of shelter services," he says

@hmcleaver That’s not how Inuit nations see it. Being “freed” from Indigenous cultural practices and economies is colonialism.

@p0stcap Their situation, of course, IS the result of colonial underdevelopment & the general mistreatment of First Peoples in Canada. Same with whaling. Canada has plenty of resources to free both the Inuit & the animals from the butchery, but doesn't.

Canadians have been fighting to end this cruel slaughter for years! With so few killers involved, the question is "who profits?" Ans: not only the fur companies but the politicians they buy off. End ALL fur trade & the use of fur in fashion.😡
dominic dyer@domdyer70

WITH SEA ICE DWINDLING DURING PUPPING SEASON in the Gulf, most of the killing occurs in the 2nd & 3rd week of April, when the pups are LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OLD. Each year, 95% OF THE SEAL PUPS ARE KILLED when they are between 3 weeks and 3 months old. Disgusting cruelty enabled by the Canadian Government

Just ran top speed into an unmarked rope drawn across the road by a construction site, was thrown backward off my bike and split my helmet open on the road. As a long time helmet refuser, thanks god I started wearing a helmet when my son was born. I’d be dead.

As a feature writer with more than twenty years of experience in the industry, I don’t think of magazines as A-tier or B-tier or whatever. I just think about whether they shilled for genocide.

In a historic move, 3,800 meatpacking workers at the largest beef producer in the world are striking the company’s biggest US plant. It’s the first major US packing strike in nearly 40 years. Here’s Day 1 on the picket line:

@hmcleaver I appreciate that perspective, but I see it less fatalistically. Have you read Barbara Allen's new collection of documents of the Workers Opposition? They saw this question as fluid and historical, and that's more how I appreciate it even at this distance.

@p0stcap Seeing "the party as an instrument of workers power" is meaningless if it's not set up in a way that workers actually exercise power. It was NOT set up that way. Indeed, the Bolsheviks destroyed what workers created: their factory committees and their soviets.

What Lenin & Stalin created was not socialism, much less communism, but state-capitalism + a vicious police state that repressed any & all worker struggles. Result: those struggles moved underground, circulated via Samizdat & proliferated throughout the social fabric.

The transition from capitalism to socialism and the liberation of the working class from the yoke of capitalism cannot be effected by slow changes, by reforms, but only by a qualitative change of the capitalist system, by revolution.

@DivineQuad @mosckvichi There's a qualitative difference between the nation in general and the nation state in particular. I don't condition my support for the right of oppressed nations to self defence by the character of their government.

Framing Ukraine and Palestine as engaged in a shared struggle is a complete misunderstanding. Zelenskyy has proved that he is no better than the other bloodthirsty dogs around the world who support the eradication of the entire Palestinian population by literally siding with them
