societies built on the programmable and not upon the manufactured seems shallow to me. the ai we imagined were stand-alone units that served their own purposes & needs that didnt require we trade human resources to nurture it; & if it did, then the ai was shamed and needed to kill to be free of us.

1/ Right now, a bill called C-22 is moving through Parliament. It would let police pull information on who you talk to, when, and where, all without a warrant. It's at committee this week. 🧵

ABC School Trustee Zhang missed like 10 of 13 meetings leading up to the Budget last month. But he showed up tonight to vote for a pay hike for trustees. When I'm elected to the Board, I'll show up - and fight to make sure funding for classroom needs is prioritized.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

A reminder that Transit Police called CBSA to detain Lucia Vega Jimenez for an unpaid transit fare. Lucia killed herself rather than face the prospect of being sent back to Mexico where her violent partner would torture and murder her.

Many readers may be surprised to learn that behind the shiny commercial space of YVR, Vancouver’s international airport, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) operates its own postmodern incarnation of a dungeon. This is a hybrid space, neither public nor private (but out of public view), instituted by the Canadian state but operated and managed by a private, for-profit company. It's a space of exception in which due process is suspended and those held lack rights to appeal, to meetings with legal representatives, or to public petition. Immigration lawyers are denied access to the space. Even protections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are not in effect. This is a hidden space, one into which people are taken beyond public view and from which most are never seen again in the Canadian context. Some, we have tragically discovered in recent weeks, do not leave alive.
The holding centre’s existence and its inadequate conditions have only come to light in the wake of the recent suicide of Lucia Vega Jimenez. Jimenez reportedly hanged herself in a shower stall in a CBSA holding cell at YVR, one day before facing deportation to Mexico. Incredibly, news of her death did not become public until a month later, after journalists sought information on the situation at YVR. Jimenez came to the attention of Citizenship and Immigration Canada after she failed to pay a Skytrain (subway) fare. Her refugee claim had been denied and she was considered “illegal” by the state.

@theguardian.com removed these passages from a column judith butler wrote after the ‘gender critical’ hacks who write for them kicked up a fuss. now they’re all running around praising trump.

"THE ANTI-GENDER IDEOLOGY IS ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT
STRAINS OF FASCISM IN OUR TIMES!"

"So TERFS will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by the struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia, and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which includes high rates of attacks on trans and genderqueer people.
The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of
"gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of considered judgments"
