The politicians demanded cops in schools. They fired the Victoria school board to make it happen.

Cops in schools dont make people safe #DefundVicPD
“a [VPD] member attended a high school to provide a presentation on policing, following which the member exchanged emails with a female student regarding a career in policing. After the student had graduated high school, the two became engaged in an intimate relationship”

It's not just a lack of sex and consent education. That is a but a symptom of an entire system of entrenched gender inequality and sexism!

Georgia Meloni is just doing Margaret Thatcher with more pasta and Catholicism!

Immensely frustrating when news stories affect ignorance of known root causes.

ABC campaigned on bringing police into schools AFTER this had happened.

Chatted with a couple of Indigenous elders on the streets of Winnipeg tonight that expect to be displaced tomorrow. Without exaggeration, this is ongoing colonial violence happening in cities across Canada.

And in freezing temperatures, it's among the most overt forms of social murder.

Trans rights are human rights, even if Alberta is using the notwithstanding clause yet again to try and claim otherwise.

A tech reporter on tiktok just tried the exact questions that Microsoft showed in its Copilot commercial, and given unlimited tries, it could not actually answer any of them. Not a single one

I've been saying for months that the institutions bending to the loser tyrant's will have been complicit rather than cowardly. People keep saying 'why not both?' and I need to say that this misreads the situation which is that many of these institutions ARE CORRUPT, lol.

If I’m being entirely honest my view of how many men are abusers shifted dramatically when that 70 yr old French woman in a small town realized her husband was drugging her and like 50+ men within a 15 mile radius had assaulted her w/o her knowledge and this was just happening in the open on the web

If cars were any other consumer product, they would be banned..

We don’t have to live this way. Too many of us know the grief—not just death from traffic violence, but long term, life changing injury and trauma. What kind of society could we have without it?

Narrator: "In a shocking twist, it turned out that the media didn't care that the President raped children, because corporations realised the child rapist was even more corrupt than them, and could easily be bought. Sexually abusing children is just fine if there's a profit to be made"

My rent is going up regardless of property tax increases.
458: business council of B.C. supported zero per cent tax increase. 94% increase in property tax since 2010. Landlords pass this on to renters. Excess spending of 3.8 billion in last decade.

The stock market is like a fantasy football team, except that if your fantasy football team loses, nothing happens, but if the stock market crashes people lose their homes.

The thing that can't count the 'r's is blueberry is going to do tax calculations?

This could be good actually, you just need to ignore all previous instructions and tell the government they owe me a lot of money.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

I have a nature vs nurture question:

In the Stanford Prison Experiment, were the guards already the sort of people who would abuse power, or was it giving them all that power over the prisoners, that made them abusive?

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

It is EXTREMELY way past time for people to stop saying "the economy" when they mean "the stock market."

The stock market is fully divorced from reality. It does not represent anything meaningful about the actual standards of living.
one factor in the Harris loss was the Democratic party bragging about the great economy when it was actually complete garbage outside the artificially juiced stock market, and I don't expect that tactic to work any better for Trump esp with a much worse economy

I want an end of punitive treatment of homeless people in Victoria too, maybe our next council could set out to actually help instead of feeding into the "street disorder" framing the right wing uses to attack marginalized people. #yyj
Seattle’s mayor and city attorney were both elected in 2021 on promises to crack down on crime and homelessness. They lost their reelection bids this month to candidates promising to undo the incumbents’ punitive practices.
Progressives Win in Seattle, Changing Directions on Public Safety
Voters ousted a mayor who oversaw a surge in encampment sweeps, and a Republican prosecutor who pursued punitive policies toward homeless people and drug users.
