DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Global warming is on track to cross 1.5°C. Three phases should drive the global response: immediate action, containment, and long-term resilience. Making that happen will require political will, stronger multilateralism & governance that puts equity & justice at the core: ow.ly/6kqH50ZJsmm

“Synergy is the way forward to solving today’s critical global challenges." Bahareh Seyedi, UN DESA, urged delegates to come together in closing the gap between ambition and progress on the #GlobalGoals in the race to 2030, emphasizing "the window for course correction is narrow, but is still open.”

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

Here is something Donald and Pete will never tell you about. If it was not for The US and Britain Iran might still have it democracy. They orchestrated a coup & then installed the Shah as their puppet which eventually led the disastrous regime Iran has today.

A new study from the #LSE reveals the brutal truth: 50 yrs of #US tax cuts, which promised to 'trickle down' and boost jobs and income for everyone, have only served one purpose—to enrich the wealthy. It's time to demand justice and build an economy that works for everyone! #Limitarianism #WealthTax

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says
Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

I am starting to find that I am losing the sense I had of being "up to speed" with what is going on with regard to climate and environment, Canadian politics and Geopolitics generally. This week anyway, I'm unsure I even want to get that sense back at my age.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

The G7 backed Ukraine. Trump blocked the joint statement. He flew home early, called Putin, and demanded Iran surrender. This isn’t neutrality. It’s a pivot - away from allies, toward power. And the world sees it.

the horrors of this genocide are beyond what words can hold..but among its many impacts is the erosion of my faith in humanity. but seeing kids create art rooted in empathy + resistance, with a teacher guiding them - has offered a small but powerful glimmer of hope. i am sincerely touched.

@boldnewme.bsky.social reports Bonhoeffer said stupidity is a greater enemy than malice because it can not be reasoned with. My my German-born father and Canadian superior court judge was a great admirer of him. I will have to find this 2024 film centered on his part in the plot to stop Hitler.

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.
