Now more than ever Art should be political. Let’s make BlueSky a place where radical art, music, poetry flourishes, circulates, and is shared.

Ryan DOES pay too much, because of unfair legal rules allowing MB landlords to permanently jack up rents and their profits by claiming to pass on temporary repair costs to renters. Minister Sandhu and the NDP govt needs to fulfill their promise to end outrageous rent hikes & protect tenants.

Thanks to @bpincott.bsky.social for outlining these thoughts on yesterday's hearing. I'll be thinking about the experience for a while. The three words that keep circling in my head: process as violence. A slow and violent death where we choose parking over people, for eternity.

and, as always, some of the most targeted during resurgences of economic nationalism and economic protectionism are migrants (esp migrant workers and refugees). this is *exactly* what the stabilization of capitalism requires. because insourcing & outsourcing are flipsides of the same capitalist coin

There have to be other ways to talk about political community inside nation-states without invoking nationalism. How about collective responsibility to those whom we share nothing in common with beyond the sanctity of life and geography? Let’s take the opportunity to invent new social relations.

My dream last night: I had a with work meeting (I coordinate a federally funded research grant). Justin Trudeau stopped by, and with his shirt sleeves rolled up and tears in his eyes, he told us that all federal funding was over and I lost my job... A premonition of things to come in Canada??
