Everyone still using X is using a website that produces and distributes CSAM. It is disgusting and immoral and nobody has any excuse for not being fully aware at this point.

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

Canada fuels American growth. Canada supplies 99% of natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports and 60% of crude oil imports. I don't think they want us to stop sending any of that energy. -PMCarney #TrumpTariffs

The Trump admin had a real theory of war: Put on a show of toughness, tell people how manly you are, disdain law, do war crimes, and you win. Earlier losses came from leaders too "weak" to do that. It was a very stupid theory. But they espoused it a lot, really seem to believe it, and acted on it.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I guess I reflexively resist engaging with art when the creators call it "content" the same way I wouldn't order a dish that a restaurant lists only as "stuff."

The CBC maintains an account on X - but not on Bluesky (nor on Mastodon.) Why? I asked CE0 Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor-in-Chief @brodiefenlon.bsky.social when they appeared at the Senate Transport and Communications Committee this morning. #CBC #SRC #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #X #Bluesky #TRCM

CBC stays on X to reach audiences despite hate speech concerns - but isn't on Bluesky or Mastodon.

Fascists are desperate for violent disruption they can use an excuse for state violence and power grabs. They have trouble with mockery, goofiness, and fun. That holds across just about every type of authoritarianism. They like being feared for cruelty. They hate being laughed at and humiliated.

Everything fascists attack is what makes us strong. It's why they go for them. And it's why, rather than retreat, we can't give up an inch. Journalism. Humanities. Universities. Education. Art. Culture. Museums. All targets. All essential to defeating fascism.

Canadians are polite until we are we are not. What makes us not polite is fascism. We fought them on the streets of Toronto in 1933. We fought them in Spain. Long before America joined the war we fought them. When you tell us we don't have a right to a country or kidnap our people we will fight back

Elites and institutions have not “collapsed.” They have not “changed their tunes.” They have not “failed.” They are not “cowards.” They were and are simply been focused only on their own self-preservation and profit. Nothing has changed. They simply made a cost benefit analysis, and fascism wins.

Your daily reminder that CBC News is still posting on X (a right-wing propaganda-pushing platform that is hostile to academics, science, the CBC, & Canada) & NOT POSTING ON BLUESKY, a platform that is becoming a hotbed of Canadian patriotism.

For fascists, the chaos and the "failures" are the point, not mistakes. The more chaos results, the more they can focus people on scapegoats while continuing power grabs. Do not measure success by the usual metrics: we are talking about a construct in which tragedy is a tactic.
