My great-grandfather who killed Nazis during the war? AntiFa.
Captain Von Trapp ripping up that Swastika flag? AntiFa.
When Richard Spencer got his bell rung and then disappeared from public life? That's AntiFa, babyyy
The opposite of being anti-fascist is being fascist. It's that fucking simple.

Everybody hates Dave Matthews but he's a pacifist quaker that renounced his South African citizenship rather than have to join the military in opposition to apartheid (being active against it), gives a lot to charities and causes, and has been pro-palestine anti-netanyahu for years and years, so

“It's f–king unacceptable,” said Kevin Mans, the owner of Niagara BJJ in Welland, one of the martial arts studios CBC identified. “I have built a team that is pluralistic… these guys are scum.”

I saw yesterday someone comment that the summary of a summary of a summary AI answer is Douglas Adams’s 42, which is assured to be a perfectly precise and accurate answer, but nobody has a clue what it means. An answer that is useless without a wider context.

If this had happened six months ago, it would be a key update to the second edition of “Settler”.
Indigenous services will be hit hard. A stunning $4.5 bil in cuts, 1 of 5 dollars in cuts is just reduced transfers to First Nations to provide police, ed and health care. Gutting Indigenous social programs is not an "ambitions" way to find "savings". 3/x

Normalize this. I left in the middle of a second year field trip when I heard my girl, Xena, was dying and didn’t speak to anyone for a week after. Why? Because I wouldn’t have been good for anything under those conditions anyway. (I also got her paw tattooed on my shoulder.)

I open my email 30-40 times a day hoping for a job offer (or just an invite to an interview) that’s never there.

One day people will read 40 year old (or older) critiques of electoralism and centrist liberal politics and think “how did no one listen?” If anyone is still around who can read.
Oddly these are Trump's priorities for Canada. Defence, RCMP and Border services are whitelisted, needing few if any cuts. But what should be our priorities: Indigenous reconciliation, Vets, Science and our standing in the world --- are cut to the bone. 7/x

The fed gov cuts to pay for military and wealthy tax cuts have rapidly expanded. My new analysis shows that most of the cuts will now be on transfers to other govs, non-profits and people. A stunning 1 in 5 dollars is just cuts to FN govs for basic social programs. @policyalternatives.ca 🧵👇👇

And people wonder why I’m childless by choice…
having a 5yo in the house means dealing with an existential tantrum after they worry about the sun burning out and becoming a blackhole + then having to deal with ANOTHER existential tantrum 10 minutes later because their pajama bin moved across the room
(also: the latter was harder to resolve)
