📣 Germany is close to reversing its principled opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private —& Signal—in the EU. Time is short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how

Commieblock denial reflects a stunning belief by many: that aesthetic preference (an subjective thing) should take precedence over making sure no one has to go without dignified housing, with modern services (an objectively good thing). Idealism before materialism.

All violence is political, state violence most of all.

"political violence has no place in this country" LOL. this country was founded on & is solely maintained by political violence. the only language it speaks. but it is only condemned as such when it is wielded against those who have a monopoly on it & those who wish to be them.

I think a lot of the public would be less numb to political violence if we hadn't spent the last two years being told 2 million people need to be killed for geopolitical reasons.

Most leftist anti-maskers think they are annoyed by the masking-left but actually are mad at material reality. I also wish it wasn't airborne, there wasn't asymptomatic spread, and that vaccines offered sufficient prevention of transmission. But wishing that doesn't make it so.

If it wasn’t already clear why Stephen Harper tried to recruit Mark Carney to the Conservative Party, it should be now.

A reminder that Canadian media has unanimously supported nearly every war the country has formally participated in, plus the Iraq War. https://t.co/jKiEvagNe1

This is nothing new. Written in 2020. Every disabled person I know and saw on here all the time saw the pattern. Many of them are dead. Disability politics have always been everyone’s politics, you just don’t care if those canaries die.

Pandemics lead to genocide and fascism. I thought you all did your research. It’s been well documented. You just didn’t care if disabled people died. Also, get your timelines right, disabled people have been saying we’d be in this moment since 2019 when they were tracking COVID

The United States doesn't get "dragged into" wars. Through arms sales, proxy wars, military encirclement, sanctions, and expansionism, it creates the conditions in which wars become inevitable. War is not a misstep of US foreign policy but its foundation.

Seems like a lot of people on all sides have no idea how anything in history has actually happened

The LA uprising reveals, not for the first time, the moral bankruptcy at the heart of the Democratic Party. Note their muted response. They cannot support the anti-ICE protests, which is why you have these unbearable statements invoking MLK that are only ever trotted out to tell

chinga la migra May spirit of rebellion grow! I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist times, they don't need any "excuses" Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity & keep tactical differences internal

Israel has murdered 629 Palestinians in the past week. Just incase people didn't know.

Fuck city council. Fuck bubble zones. We take the streets until babies stop starving in Gaza #FreePalestine btw @MayorOliviaChow Jack Layton and God see what you’re doing

This is heartbreaking.

@Malala Malala vs Greta is the difference between liberals and leftists.

For months now, The Maple has been the target of a multi-faceted campaign to take us offline. It started in February, right after I published Find IDF Soldiers — a database of Canadians who have joined the Israeli military, which is based entirely on public information. It’s the
