Former Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath is pressuring the Hamilton Public Library to accept a smaller budget than they require in the face of cyberattacks and opioid overdoses. They’re closing the Central branch on Sundays but she wants more cuts. This is the “left wing” leader 😡
Mayor Andrea Horwath says "we have to make some tough choices in this budget" to ensure "affordability" ... "the opportunity exists for the library to mitigate the pressures by the utilization of reserves" and says the Library "needs to meet the Mayor's Directive" and will vote NO on motion. #yhmcc

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

ICE's treatment of children blows a giant hole in this phony MAGA narrative that the right wing embraces families, moms, kids & all that. The msm has done way too many stories about White House babies, fertility policies & the like without also acknowledging this grotesque split screen.
North of Seattle, in Shoreline, a father taking his 2-year-old son to daycare before heading to his job, where he works 6 days a week, was arrested by ICE. They left his son sitting alone in the back seat for about 40 minutes, eyewitnesses said.

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.
