The Houston gov’t lost more than $300 million in revenue annually by cutting bridge tolls and 1% from HST. They also spent more than $6 billion outside of budget processes over the last few years. Now they cut two of our biggest economic sectors (tourism and arts and culture) to deal with deficit?

not a hot take: if you’ve been silent / politically inactive since 2023 im not interested in your art

like wdym you had the platform of the grammys and you said nothing of substance 🫠

denouncing injustice on every platform you have access to is actually just the bare minimum

no business as usual

Things I know to be true:

- All our struggles & our freedoms are interconnected

- We owe each other everything

- There is no "right time" to resist, come as you are

- Endless catastrophes = many opportunities to find your place

- We need a diversity of tactics & many sites of struggle to win

Trump’s biggest donors in 2025 were AI CEOs and relatives of criminals, report says More than a dozen wealthy donors gave at least $1 million to the Trump-affiliated super PAC, MAGA Inc

Boycott AI if you can.

OpenAI (chatGPT) is Trump’s biggest donor in 2026.

The results you get using AI are not neutral. Trump is buying algorithms.

Censorship is deeply embedded in the rollout of this mediocre tech- no different than Meta or TikTok.

I know too much about what we do to incarcerated children in the U.S. I started and ran an organization focused on this for almost 15 years. Immigrant children are being treated terribly.

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

Cops in Atlantic Canada have already murdered two Indigenous men this year, within 5 days of each other.

Darrell Augustine, Sipekne’katik First Nation and Bronson Paul, from Neqotkuk First Nation.

The RCMP is a violent colonial institution built on the murder of Indigenous people.

El Sayed: It's time to abolish ICE After the violence of the last year, abolishing ICE is not extreme; it is the necessary next step.

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to.

It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.

i have seen so so many posts about β€œhumanity and morals not politics”

what will it take for people to understand that humanity, morals and politics cannot be separated? especially not now.

and that theres nothing wrong with β€œbeing political”

Who can plan? And in what ways?

People should know that the city of Halifax @hfxgov.bsky.social did not open any warming centres this weekend. We are getting arctic winds, and an incoming snowstorm. It's cold enough out there to kill people experiencing homelessness. 1/4
