Don’t funnel it through the Ontario government please. Doug Ford has a way of “disappearing” large amounts of healthcare funding from the Feds already and we’re getting desperate in Ontario because of his looting

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Yes, Greenland is worth dying for, Ukraine is worth dying for, Mexico is worth dying for, and Canada is worth dying for. That’s the price of sovereignty no matter who challenges it. It doesn’t matter who or where, if you violate it then expect resistance.

I can’t speak for the entire Jewish community, but personally I have been watching many of y’all under-react to ICE actions for the last year and suddenly understanding in a whole new way how my family ended up being rounded up and massacred in camps and y’all should think on that.
ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week.

SAME THING WITH CANADA…
Anyone who still claims the US annexing or invading Greenland is ‘just jokes’ and ‘not worth taking seriously’ needs to re-evaluate their thinking.
It’s not like it’s 100% guaranteed. But it’s quite possible they do some really dodgy, illegal shit to them. I don’t like where this is headed

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Happy New Year everyone.
I hope 2026 is a bit less shit, though I have no faith that it will be.
I just wish the world was a bit kinder, especially to those most marginalised and vulnerable.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.
If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.
Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

In a moment where RFK Jr is taking away life-saving vaccines and spreading health misinformation on an unprecedented scale, making comments that stigmatize other important layers of public health protections like mask wearing is not the play.

I find people are confused by the Toronto Star these days. Most of them didn't register the sale in 2020, or underplayed the significance. Under new ownership, the Toronto Star became the new National Post, so Postmedia could move further right. They even hired the editor from the National Post.
Helped Ford seal the deal again after a first term of lying, stealing, pandemic denial and consolidating power...
The tone of the Toronto Star towards Ford got more supportive after Jordan Bitove bought it in 2020.
After the sale, Bitove's company got an online casino license from the Ford govt.

Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'?

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.
