Getting ready for another speaking engagement! The biggest win out of all of my politicking is how many other "Nobodies from Nowhere" are stepping up and getting involved. It's extremely important that our involvement includes more than social media!!!!

I'm old enough to remember when the BBC wouldn't immediately roll belly up to appease the government.
Doing it for foreign governments is new though.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Self-censorship is contagious. Once it starts, self-censorship can ripple through a society, making all of us the poorer for it.

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.

Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

🚨 Fake CBC “headlines” are spreading in conservative spaces — fabricated to look real & discredit CBC.
They’re meant to seed doubt, not truth.

I wondered the same thing. But with #ElonMusk one must always consider that the most nefarious ulterior motive is the correct one. Whatever that may be.
In 🇨🇦, there is an endless barrage of malign foreign influence ops. Sadly, 🇺🇸 is now on par with 🇷🇺 in that regard. #cdnpoli #ableg

Yes, mental health and bullying play a role.

Both issues are almost certainly made worse by a neuroinvasive virus which causes anxiety and affects executive functioning, leading to increased aggression and diminished resiliency.

Oh, and then there’s good ol’ ILLNESS.
