Actual exchange from court today:
Me: I can't do January 20 for the hearing, your honor, because I'm having surgery, but I can do [dates in February]
Judge: Ordinarily I'd accommodate medical issues, but not for people like you. Attend from the hospital if you have to.

We’ve had more TRAGIC days, like 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. But we’ve never had a more SHAMEFUL day than January 6th, 2021! Most shameful day in our democracy’s history. Period!

To any BC journalists who follow me:
I know someone who has a story about the New West PD ignoring a theft reported to them by a small business. The small business did all the leg work of finding the person who did it, but police are unwilling to do anything. If you're interested, DM me.

Careful complicity over the genocide in Gaza.
Careful silence when the US started killing people in international waters. Careful silence when a Canadian ICC justice was sanctioned by the US. Now we mumble vague things about international law and Venezuela. We’re losing more than just our voice.

A funny thing about housing discourse in Canada is that housing has *always* been affordable for the in-group.
From the founding of canada, where land was literally given away for free (but only to the in-group whites), to today when if you're wealthy enough you can easily afford housing.

Everyone can sense it. Everyone is affected. We all know that the people with all the power in this society are selling us out, milking every last drop of productivity and money and energy and hope from us. But we just have to keep going because what other option do we have? That bill is coming due.

If there's one prediction I'd make about 2026, it's that the psychic damage we've ALL been trying to fight through for the entirety of this decade is gonna call in its debt. EVERYONE I know is hanging on by a thread and has been for a long time now. We, as a society, can't keep this up forever.

This was always the problem with antiwar protestors, by the way: it’s not that they were wrong. If anything, it was too painfully obvious they were correct. The problem was: they are a lesser class of pig-people who were insulting and embarrassing our golden special boys, people who actually matter.

Since the US represents the most urgent and dangerous systemic violence in the world today, then according to the incoherent and silly Centrist rule that we must support the lesser evil (no matter who!) we should all be supporting Russia as the only way to defeat the US.

Rescinding decriminalization was a profound betrayal of every principle that the BCNDP claims to hold.
Evidence from British Columbia shows decriminalisation reduced police interference with access to harm reduction — a key public health objective.
Rolling it back didn’t correct failure. It reversed progress.
Full study:
Rolling it back didn’t correct failure. It reversed progress.
Full study:
Policing and access to harm reduction services among young people who use drugs and young Indigenous people who use drugs before and after the pilot implementation of decriminalization of personal possession
McAdam et al. examine how decriminalisation reduced policing-related barriers to services, revealing important benefits for young people, including Indigenous.
