notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

This is a good point
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Seems fitting that an administration covering up the Epstein files would want to celebrate one of the most famous child traffickers in history

Hank Green doesn't know anything about Tribal Government or Indigenous people and he should really shut the fuck up. He ignored several Indigenous people trying to tell him not to speak on something he knows nothing about.

"Canadian digital sovereignty" puts Indigenous Peoples here in a really awkward position. Do we trust Canadian tech companies any more than we trust American tech companies? Why would we? Ironically our stuff might be safer with (some) European companies that take privacy and encryption seriously.

Note how the "Reconciliation" buzzword was abandoned in favour of "Economic Reconciliation". In other words, help Canada find and extract resources to send to foreign (mostly American) markets, or else. Just look at all the bills Canada and its provinces recently introduced: bsky.app/profile/jeff...
I finally did it and organized my thoughts on Bill C-2, C-5, 5 etc. into a concise(ish) narrative. There's many threads to navigate through below if you wanna spend your day / week going down all the rabbit holes I did.

You want a nuanced analysis of "digital sovereignty?" Ask Indigenous people who have been thinking about this long before settlers have who take the notion of "sovereignty" for granted. That's why Canadians are flailing about panicking now. They didn't barely considered this a "thing" until Trump

I've yet to see a single discussion of "Canadian digital sovereignty" include any Indigenous experts, at best we're given a token mention that at some point they'll "consult with Indigenous Peoples" like we're some sort of monolith. Umm, y'all need to consider all our lands, and our distinctiveness.

It's as if there's some sort of weird cognitive algorithm in the minds of settlers that Indigenous Peoples = backwards and savage therefore anything tech related doesn't apply to them.

Ummmm, you do realize all this "Canadian digital sovereignty" stuff requires unfettered access to Indigenous land.

What is it about tech that gets a pass when it comes to respecting Indigenous rights?

Why is it that the Internet itself depends on trespassing through Indigenous territories yet it's framed as something that we're given access to through some sort of charity?

Why are we never even considered?

the number of times I've seen Canadians give land acknowledgements at tech conferences and then immediately launch into discussions about "Canadian digital sovereignty" that completely excludes any concept of Indigenous rights or even us as Peoples at all. It's absurd, I can't wrap my head around it

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".

There's a bunch of industrial & resi electricians doing this too. I've personally seen at least 5 being hauled off sites over the years.

Three species of Arctic seals now face extinction due to global warming, while half the planet’s birds are in decline due to habitat loss. But the return of the green sea turtle shows how, with coordinated conservation efforts, things can be turned around. www.cnn.com/2025/10/10/s...
