I’m done with twitter. Anything associated with Mr Musk is poison. I’ve migrated to @chipduck.bsky.social and wish you all the best.

Correct. When one is overwhelmed with shit the smell loses its impact.
The point of nominating Gaetz for AG or Tulsi as DNI is to force feed you this shit until you lose hope. Period. This is systematic abuse meant to break your will.

There are a great many Jewish people who rightfully condemn the genocide. They deserve our wholehearted admiration.
I am so profoundly touched by this expression of support from Jewish organisations worldwide. The minions out there will be livid. Let's stay strong, altogether.

Absolutely correct.
Finland more or less eliminated private schooling, and they've led the world on most educational metrics.

Simple, no?
My entire life, I wondered how the world stood by as the Jews were shipped off to the gas chambers during the Holocaust. Over the past year, I've stopped wondering. The entire Western political & media class has taught us exactly how genocides happen: 1) Dehumanize the victims 2) Manufacture atrocity propaganda 3) Ignore historical context 4) Obsess over one's own history of victimhood 5) Manufacture false claims of antisemitism What's most shocking is just how easy it has been to compel an entire generation of media & political elites to support genocide.

.@MaritStiles I’d encourage you to prioritize defeating .@fordnation over everything else. If that means cooperating with .@BonnieCrombie , please do so.

Valuable thread…
The wave of cynical, divisive populism spreading across Canada is threatening to find another foothold in Don Valley West (Ward 15) as voters go to the polls on November 4th to elect a new City Councillor after the tragic passing of Jaye Robinson. Far right pundit Anthony Furey..

For whatever reason, ordinarily thoughtful, evidence-driven brains can’t comprehend the risks we are facing. THEY ARE HUGE, and they are not new. A cliff is awaiting our children. Wake up .@JustinTrudeau @MaritStiles and get aggressive. I’d copy .@fordnation but he’s too dumb.
I woke up seeing 60+ people are dead, thinking Valencia will be a turning point, will dominate the news, wake everybody up to climate change. It’s not though is it. The budget is dominating reporting in the UK. Public don’t care. We are determined to send our children over a cliff to their deaths without even engaging with this issue.

This film is remarkable. It is also terrifying. If one cares about democracy and civil rights, one MUST watch this video. It’ll be 80 minute experience you’ll never regret. Vigilantes Inc. youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE?si=z17P… via @YouTube

.@mikeschreiner would be a real Premier. He has a brain. He's not insecure and overly impressed with those with wealth. And he actually cares about everybody and not just his friends.
Doug Ford continues to ram through Highway 413 by avoiding a real environmental assessment. Think of the floods this summer. 413 will make flooding worse, and it is dangerous to build this highway without any thought on how it will affect flooding. I hope the federal government will step up and do a proper EA before Ford paves over the critical ecosystems that protect our homes from flooding. Or better yet: let's just cancel the project and spend the money on transit, housing and healthcare. #onpoli

Kinda remarkable that Albertans somehow decided this woman would make a good Premier. She's gloriously, indescribably stupid, no?

I don't doubt this is similarly true in Toronto .@oliviachow .@JoshMatlow
Hard to overstate how much of an improvement speed cameras are compared to police issuing tickets. Speed cameras are *way* more fair -- and also more reliable. theconversation.com/police-s…

More harmful policy from the Ford government.
🎯🎯🎯@raghu_venugopal: "Given the very close relationship between corporate pharmacy chains & @fordnation, this change may be more reflective of political interests in directing public funds to wealthy donors and supporters, rather than the interests of patients." #PatientSafety

Not sure how any sane person can argue with this statement. It is the logical continuation of the Palestinian erasure that started before WW2. .@Charlie533080 nails it.
What’s happening in Gaza right now is no longer related to the destruction of Hamas. That stopped a long time ago along with any Israeli pretence of a just war. This is little more than a murderous, barbaric, punitive and increasingly genocidal killing spree.
