Between bill c-39, the notwithstanding clause, and section 107 in Canada, I don't know how many more reminders we need that it's time for labour to continue preparing to go back to the roots of illegal strikes, solidarity strikes, etc. It's actually kind of exciting

"Keeping streets safe" is BS language politicians and cops use to cover up what they really mean which is "I don't want my bougie voters having to see the poors."

Andor is the closest thing we have to a historically accurate account of the Rebellion. Movies are Jedi propaganda. Luke never existed; Leia did, but not as she's shown. Han Solo is a composite dirtbag. Chewbacca was a more important leader than them all but sidelined by humanocentric racism.

I'm glad an increasing number of writers, activists, and people I admire are leaving twitter, closing the comments on their articles/vids, and coming over to Bluesky so I can finally just say nice things to them where they'll hear it.

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Had a nice convo with an old lady while delivering her parcel. I explained to her why her mail is late this winter (Canada post is delaying it by denying overtime and then refusing to staff). Then she started going off about "nazi-communists" and chemtrails. Ooooh boy 😆

Decades later, Michael Parenti’s "Inventing Reality" remains one of the best-written critiques of mainstream media. It’s a masterclass in how news is shaped to serve power. A must-read for anyone seeking the clarity to cut through the mainstream media’s manufactured narratives.

Every winter I'll deliver mail to residents who'll chat about how rough it must be to do my job in the winter. I really don't mind! What's the worst is the summers where your truck is over 50 C and not all the trucks have AC but have illegal tracking devices instead

I think I need to start listening to this. The reading of JRR Tolkien's take on aircraft is fantastic. I knew Tolkien's work was informed by an anti-war sentiment but didn't know this dude went so hard on it. Is Tolkien based?

The lawlessness of the US government provides even further justification for collective efforts to boycott the United States, to make it feel some degree of consequences for its illegal and destabilizing behaviour globally. That means avoiding travel, boycotting its companies, and similar actions.

🎯 This US jingoism is about oil and imperialism. Don't buy the old line about "freedom and democracy." If the US cared about democracy they'd have one that functioned and wouldn't have a reputation of coups, assassinations, and installing monarchs and dictators (see: Shah of Iran). Solidarity with🇻🇪

Delivering mail in the winter isn't that bad. If the snow is falling it's quite cozy. The bummer part is the ice everywhere and the boss being butthurt when if we didn't finish our route [even though we pay their salaries and they contribute nothing to society ]because of said ice.
