Sleep now in the bed you shit on.

I don’t care if China benefits.

I just need hydrocarbons to lose to solar.

Enjoy your quagmire.

If you knew about it already you would know that the judge is Canadian.

We need more tech unions and tech coops.

They will rehire for less. The AI hype is just a wage suppression scheme.

Are you suggesting that the official political position of the palestinian leadership is not to ethnically cleanse palestine?

YES.

The PLO/Palestinian Authority accepted the two state solution in 1988 and signed the Oslo accords in 1993. Hamas accepted the 1967 borders in its 2017 charter.

That’s the official position of both entities that can lay claim to the word “Palestinian leadership”.

So what the actual fuck are you talking about?

PS. The Knesset voted in 2024 to formally oppose any Palestinian state. So there’s your formal positions of your “both sides”. Not politics and rhetoric, OFFICIAL POSITIONS.

The Palestinian state famously in existence in the last 100+ years and famously expelling and persecuting their Jewish population.

Using light sabres and expeliarmus spells, while lead by the Dovahkiin Nazgûl, Indiana Jones and Drizzt.

When you both-sides genocide, at least get your fucking facts straight.

It’s in the name, right? Resistance doesn’t win. Even if they are not ignored, these court orders will not end the reign of ICE terror. And it is important to remember that there are people for which the system will deny even such an ignorable court order. They are no less worthy of solidarity. So yes, this is not winning. But that’s not the point yet.

Resistance doesn’t win but it makes winning possible. It slows down, increases the cost, frustrates, distracts, buys time, exposes systemic weaknesses, trains the capacity of allies, and makes people lose fear. It’s not sufficient, but it’s necessary.

Do you have evidence for either that these 10 orders were ignored or that there was some false sense of progress that coddled anyone to not do anything because of these 10 orders?

Resistance is not a monolith, it is not all or nothing. It is these shitty 10 orders AND all the other work that people are doing. There is nothing too small and too petty when it comes to resisting fascism. Every little thing raises the cost for the fascists, raises the friction. Remember that 1944 manual on Simple Sabotage? Raise the friction in every way possible. That’s the point.

So, sure say your reminder that “that’s not enough” but then move on and go do something petty to raise the friction the fascists face.

Meh, disappointing.

As of like a week ago, members of congress apparently have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits to federal immigration detention facilities.

Americans: call your Democratic member of congress and demand that they visit facilities such as this every single fucking day until conditions improve.

I don’t pretend to know anything about international finance. I’m repeating what I’ve heard.

It gives us a “nuclear button” where we can threaten with massive sell-offs that could tank the value of US bonds. To counter it they would have to basically raise interest rates and/or print money. Sure it would hurt us too, but not before hurting them more. Now if you also place this in a context of coordination with other debt owners (Europeans, Chinese), we can really hurt them.

But isn’t this also leverage?

We need to break the back of far right organizing in the military. This is not a joke, it’s an existential threat to our democracy.

Beyond dishonourable discharges of fascists (and banning them from joining any kind of armed force, eg police in the future), we need a serious and aggressive EDI recruitment policy. I know that the MAGAs and the Poilievrites use EDI as a slur. Which is EXACTLY why we should make it a core tenet of army recruitment. Disgust them, keep them out. And in the meantime, train a new generation of Canadian professional soldiers that are comitted to our constitutional multiculturalism and are as diverse as Canada.

Quit. Running. Centrist. Democrats.

We don’t need a majority government. We need national deliberation.
