My question is why the media happily ran after every "flooding the zone with shit" play from MAGA Alberta while ignoring the obvious Donbas playbook being used in Alberta. Donbas Danielle is not playing with fire. She's burning our house. www.policymagazine.ca/danielle-smi...

- Well, it’s not like Dalhousie is a <checks notes> research institution rather than a <checks notes again> wing of government … ? And it’s not like our government is supposed to serve the people instead of <checks then flings notes into the sea> developers?
- Reposted by Jason Haslamthetyee.ca/News/2026... The Premier has ordered the termination and payout of over 15M in HC leadership alone since taking over. This is obscene. Think of the frontline care this could have bought. 1/5

- Reposted by Jason HaslamThat mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

- Well, @nbcnews.com just let Trump lie on air for much of their 15-minute interview, without a single fact-check correction, even after.

- Reposted by Jason HaslamI've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.
- Reposted by Jason Haslamagain we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
- Reposted by Jason HaslamThis Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.
- Reposted by Jason HaslamMy story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

- Homan’s entire presser is basically “we wouldn’t have to punish you if you just shut up.”
- Little known fact: the first Wednesday after Groundhog Day in Nova Scotia is called “Salty Squirrel Day.” On Salty Squirrel Day, if you see a squirrel giving the side-eye to a power line, it means six more weeks of power randomly going out. Don’t blame me. I don’t make the rules.

- Reposted by Jason HaslamCan comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

- Reposted by Jason HaslamFour weeks ago: Trump floated the idea of canceling future elections Three weeks ago: “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election” Yesterday: “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting” But it’s not just rhetoric: all of this has come against a backdrop of concrete action.

- Lookit. If I’m expected to wake up and work every damn day while multiple genocidal madmen threaten what remains of our liveable planet, I’m gonna need science to invent beer & fried bologna that keeps me fit. Arts & humanities can’t keep pulling the whole “reasons to keep going” alone, people.
- Never a good sign when the wind makes the snow stick to your door.
- Elon Musk is a wilful, racist, fucking idiot. No, I’m not sharing the latest proof of this. Because that’s what he wants. Because he has chosen to be a racist fucking idiot, and it’s past time that becomes the only thing ever said about him.
