What I can't understand is how supposedly well educated, college graduates can believe that there is any future in our bullshit society. Our present course will take us over the cliff to extinction. Makes me glad I didn't blow my money on tuition.

Reading about the famine in Gaza it amazes me how anyone with a conscience can stand by Israel's genocide. I despair because we seem to have become a species of amoral sociopaths.

Remember when attacking another country was an act of war and the ultimate evil. Watching western leaders applaud the unprovoked attacks on Iran while they were attempting to negotiate shows their stupidity. Remember this when you see the mushroom clouds.

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon
Jim Stanford: Let’s drop the phoney Alberta versus Canada nonsense. The province has met the enemy — and it is them

I am interested in learning about any grassroot community based initiatives. I feel with the coming recession these will become very important. So if you are involved with a community kitchen, tenants union or any other community based organization I would love to learn about it.

Unions are not just about wages. They are about power...
The power to demand, the power to refuse, the power to shape the future.
Workers must never mistake security for victory. Let them carry every worker forward.
Unions are proof that the worker is strongest when they stand together.

I ask my American friends do you really think there are going to be free and fair elections in the 2026 midterm elections? If Trump loses he is impeached and goes to jail. I predict an event like the Reichstag fire in Germany in the 1930s. If you want to understand where you are looking there.

The wealthy oligarchy has been perpetuating a class war against us throughout history. Then they told us we were impolite when we fought back. Time to get rude and join the battle
If there is one thing I hope the left learns in my lifetime, it’s that to become hegemonic, we have to become normie.
We won’t convince people to dramatically change their aesthetic or cultural attitudes; we will succeed when we articulate our values in forms they are most likely to appreciate.
