I really, really wish that more people would wear a mask if they are aggressively coughing, sneezing, mucusing widely, etc etc while traveling...or at least covered their mouths? Can we as a society at least agree on that? Last 24h of travel has been surreal.

As I type this (2:45 pm EST), C-12 should be discussed shortly in Senate (we're on C-4, which is just before). Again, C-12 is a violation of international law, is also pulling a 'war on drugs' style move re fent, and is a fast-tracked deportation-forward bill. senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/en/P...

A tiny part of this is ok yeah I cannot recognize celebrities—for ex I ended up at a bar with the 2012 US men's Olympic basketball team, and did not figure that one out myself. The bigger part is I know I'm not entitled to strangers' private lives, just...leave people alone and don't film everyone?

If companies know that the government will union-bust for them, they won’t even need to consider bargaining in good faith anymore. Oh, how much has Air Canada fallen (from once being a publicly, federally-owned corporation). Shame on this government. Shame. (2/2)

Canada’s Liberals hate unions. It took them less than 13 hours for @pattyhajdu.bsky.social to force arbitration upon Air Canada flight attendants— the very same people currently facing dozens of hours of *unpaid work* every month— and resubjecting them to these same working conditions. (1/2)

Prosecutors have been illegally eavesdropping on Luigi Mangione’s calls with his attorney.
Luigi Mangione's attorney Karen Agnifilo said during a hearing that the Manhattan DA's office informed her that someone listened to an attorney-client call — but it was "inadvertent."

"We were just informed by state court prosecutors that they were eavesdropping on all of Mr. Mangione’s calls."

Unpopular opinion, but the trans sports debate has been an effective wedge issue for the right because for most of our “allies,” support was always about them feeling good rather than developing any empathy or knowledge. Learning about our lives is sad, and learning about our biology is complicated.

Any responsible jurist should have a healthy disrespect for the law. One that accounts for human rights, democratic values, and foundational tenets. This includes acknowledging that genocides, forced disappearances, arbitrary government actions, etc. must be stopped at all costs.

The best option would have been to not implement that agreement at all. The second best option would have been to repeal it prior to this year. The next best option is to rip it apart now. No economic or political concerns should supersede human rights concerns. Ever.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.
