The 20 largest U.S. retail banks that report collecting overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees made $3 billion off those fees in the first 9 months of 2025.

To put it another way, these banks took $3 billion from people who had no money.

If I were paid to do this job, I'd be in the media and on social media every day.
I'd say:
1)get vaccinated for covid and the flu.
2) wear a respirator (N95) mask in crowded indoor spaces like public transit.
3) keep your holiday get-togethers safe by keeping things well ventilated and filtered.

Arbitrator gives Medicine Hat careworkers 6% raise

This is a better increase than in their last two contracts, but it still falls way short of keeping up with inflation.

Imagine having more money than 99.99 of the planet,
Are you spending Christmas Eve trolling the poors on line?Wealth hoarding is an illness and the only humane thing to do is take it away, to save them from this bitter loneliness.

Sending your artist friend #AIArt after they have told you, passionately, how they feel about AI art is cruel.
Defending it by saying you can’t tell what specific style it is, is missing the point.
Being mad at your artist friend for being upset?
You can fuck right off.

When Trump dies-- could be at any point, who knows -- we get Vance.

They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier Christofascism.

We must be preparing for this now & organizing accordingly.
Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. GOTV.

What if Carney is working with Harper?
What if they took advantage of the threat from down south to take over the Liberal Party?
How involved was the billionaire class?
If the Cons are crossing to be Libs, we need a bunch of Libs to cross to the NDP or Greens to stop a Fake Lib majority.

Tonight I launched an attack on the billionaires and AI and all things beige and boring.

It was small, but mighty.

Support people on the front lines.

Teachers, professors, public servants, journalists, organizers, and targeted communities often pay the price for resisting populists.

Check in. Show up at their events. Defend them when they’re smeared. Abandoned critics make the “majority” myth look stronger.+
