Public services shouldn’t live or die by profit margins. I talked with Simon Enoch from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives about how neoliberal policy reshaped Canada and what it’ll take to win back the public good. https://t.co/KkHb70xZZb

Budgets reveal political priorities. Every cut, every subsidy, every tax break exposes who governments believe deserves support. Austerity disguises itself as discipline, but the real cost shows up in the lives it pushes to the margins.

Who's afraid of Antifa? The US government has found its new boogeyman but don't be fooled -- they're just looking for cover to detain and harass their critics. https://t.co/f9acWLdOLF

From postal service cuts to privatized transit, governments keep treating people’s needs like business opportunities. We dig into what that mindset costs us in the new episode,

Cory Doctorow argues that Enshitification isn’t a glitch in capitalism. Once platforms dominate, they serve investors over people. The result is an internet that deteriorates by design. https://t.co/DXQKSwkAVF

When public systems fail under private control, the result is predictable. Inequality grows, wages stagnate, and access narrows until even basic needs depend on what corporations find profitable to provide. Market logic replaces collective responsibility.

For decades, policy in Canada has been written to serve profit over people. Simon Enoch from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives joined me to talk about how neoliberalism reshaped the country and how public control could be restored. https://t.co/qws4ENn57E

The structure of the internet rewards whoever can grow the fastest and extract the most attention. That incentive shaped everything from how platforms design engagement to how they treat workers. Real communication requires space for cooperation, not constant competition.

He begged them to kill him instead of torturing him, they told him, “You’re a photojournalist—we’ll gouge out your eyes.” They threatened to kill his family. A journalist freed from Israeli prisons recounts the horrors he endured & breaks down upon learning his children are alive

The U.S. economy is being gutted by Trump’s tariffs, scams, and short-term grifts. Farmers lose markets, workers lose jobs, prices keep rising. This isn’t strength, it’s sabotage for profit.

It’s not the unhoused who are ruining neighborhoods. It’s the ones driving up rent, displacing families, and calling it development.

Privatization erodes accountability. Once public services become businesses, decisions serve investors before communities, and the people those systems were built for lose any real voice in how they’re managed. It’s democracy hollowed out through contracts.

The decay of the internet follows the same pattern as any system where power piles up. When ownership is concentrated, accountability fades. Algorithms get the blame, but they only reflect the priorities of the people who control them. Power decides what we see and who benefits.

If a service is deemed essential then that should show you how important those workers performing that service are and you should pay them accordingly, not complain and try to strong arm them back to work

It blows me away that people have been convinced that the people who control the most dominated aspect of our lives, our jobs, are never in the wrong while unions catch shit for fighting against those bosses

Seriously, if your instinct is to blame the union that represents the postal workers then you can just not bother replying. Even bad unions are the only protection workers have against exploitation. So gfto
