Congrats to the Fried Egg Workers Union on their big win! They just won 6 unfair labor practice cases!

This was after the NLRB found their employer guilty of wrongful termination, surveillance, retaliation, and denial of benefits.

When we fight, we win! Celebration coming soon, so stay tuned!

Canada can see the costs of dependence on the US first hand. Trump is bullying us and Silicon Valley used his leverage to kill the digital services tax.

As the Canadian government looks for a new cloud provider, it shouldn’t just prioritize local companies; it should invest in a public cloud.

Why Canada needs to build a public cloud

Dependence on US tech giants must end if the country is serious about digital sovereignty

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay.

That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

Anti-LGBTQ orgs have explicitly stated they USE sports as a "gateway drug" to undermine trans people's rights. They've also said this is how they eventually roll back all progress on LGBTQ rights. Newsom falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
