The Right seems to think PressProgress is dying. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s been an eventful few weeks here at PressProgress. Here are some updates 👇🏽

My last article as the labour reporter at @pressprogress.ca is about.... media layoffs! Earlier this month, Rogers closed six stations and laid off 230 radio workers across the country. In Vancouver, the layoffs hit a newsroom that had struggled for years to unionize.

19 detained after rallying inside the lobby of @governor.ny.gov’s NYC Midtown office calling on her to Tax The Rich to defend their medical care. Some spoke with me about why they were arrested, some with chronic conditions defending their own healthcare they’re about to lose. Jail support at 7th.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

This elite project taking place right now to distance Epstein from his friends and allies and try to wipe their slates clean is a way to protect elitism itself in the face of more evidence that it is a house of cards, filled with people who do not deserve to be there.

the last thing Oddnon ever said to me was "Disco slysium"
Discord screenshot. Oddnon says

That would be fun
Disco slysium

dated 1/26/2026 at 7:38pm

Oddnon's Avatar is a pixel-art drawing of their face, smiling and slightly blushing with their eyes closed, with a beard longer in the chin and shorter in the mustache. you can't see it in the still, but it was an animated avatar, and the eyes would open with a surprised expression and the image would jiggle a little. it always kept a certain playfulness in conversations, even when talking about heavy stuff.

Oddnon was one of the few people I considered a close friend even though we had never met in person. A true legend, and one of the kindest persons I've known. Rest in power friend.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

it’s important to keep your lib friends in your thoughts today as they are convinced, against the weight of reality and historical precedent, that things are going back to “normal” bc of the temporary ICE changes, as if the entire country didn’t see a city under siege by the feds

The usefulness of police officers is overstated in almost every single way, because they use their own judgement to decide if they think it’s worth helping you or not. If you aren’t in the demographic which makes your suffering worth an investigation, you are already in a copless society.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
