New piece with Tia Dafnos and Emma Bainbridge in @breachmedia.ca: The paramilitary pipeline police strike again. Now so clearly organized as a permanent counter-insurgency formation, here's what the Critical Response Unit (aka C-IRG) has been up to: breachmedia.ca/a-notorious-...
Use these cards to write love letters or ransom notes, writes @mollycrabapple.bsky.social. And remember: Every handwritten letter is a rebellion against Silicon Valley dystopia.

In the name of "fighting antisemitism," Indiana University appointed a Christian scholar to tell Jewish scholars what they can and cannot say - all while they invited Tucker Carlson to speak on campus. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...
So many of us feeling exactly the same. The creeping horror.
New piece: Private and public capital are flooding into mining and LNG development in the service of a war economy. Over 44 per cent of the Liberal budget is allocated toward defence spending that will eventually slap a Canadian flag on missiles and submarines.

If youβre worried about climate change and youβve never heard of controlled burns by Indigenous nations, read this great piece.
We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.
A future marked by scarcity and disaster.
A future these people are accelerating.
That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.
Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

Some good news
the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes
This is extremely alarming. Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social won the federal election promising to make us *less* depending on the US. Now we are hearing reports that he is offering up a CLOSER energy and military partnership in exchange for a trade deal... π§΅

Watching the way the Trump administration is using criminalization as a weapon ought to make clear how criminalization works even in normal times.
If you've ever found your name on a list, or feared landing there, you're not alone. Today, doxxing is imbued with terrifying state powers, but it's an old strategy of deputization that has terrorized people for centuries. The power of lists is division, but we can draw from histories of refusal.
Avi is direct, committed, and building a political base that is grounded in movements for justice. I have never been a member of this party, but I will become one to make sure he becomes leader. Let's seize this moment for real change.
In light of BC approving the Ksi Lisims LNG terminal, we feel the need to reshare one of our most important podcast episodes: The Costs of LNG.

Mark Carney continues to use the phrase βdecarbonized oilβ to try to greenwash a new oil pipeline for Alberta. Itβs so shameless and I would argue it even shows contempt for the public to be so dishonest.
