A major failure of the @liberalca.bsky.social government.
Canada’s correctional investigator is leaving two years before his second term ends and says one of the reasons is the government’s failure to address the gross over-representation of Indigenous people in the federal prison system.

The "Mountbatten" speaks to the assassination of his uncle; famously executed by the Provos as a kiddie diddler. The boat he was on when sent to hell was his prime hunting ground.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor losing all of his titles over just the possibility of the Epstein files coming out tells me all I need to know about just how bad the contents are, and why the Republicans are so desperate to never let it out.
The thing that’s so fucked up about the Epstein files is that if they’re bad bad for Trump, it’s gonna come out, and every Republican who knew what they were doing protecting him is gonna get flayed for it. And if they weren’t bad for him at all, they’d be out already.

Update: the woman on the Tumwater (WA) school board who voted to protect trans kids is now ahead by *25 points*.
I'd totally missed this:

In Tumwater, WA, a HS student complained about a trans basketball player. Then, the local school board passed a resolution to ban trans girls from girl sports.

Now, the mother of that student is running against the sole school board member to vote against the resolution.

Per George Monbiot:

"An analysis by Oxford University’s Smith School shows that a heavy reliance on CCS massively increases the costs of cutting emissions. By contrast to other technologies such as solar, wind and batteries, its costs have not fallen at all in 40 years."

It’s an in-joke that when Black women get bored, we go get a degree & pivot. It’s a whole lotta Black women unemployed right now, watching Rep Jasmine & Kamala & now the Detroit mayor etc, and I don’t think *those people* understood what they’ve activated by forcing us to have time via layoffs

I am confident that virtually everyone in this administration is within three hops of a member of a terrorist organization, probably several times over.
This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Universal Human Rights recognises systemic discrimination: Māori incarceration rates, housing crises, and child poverty.

These aren't bugs—they're features of unjust systems that require structural change, not just procedural fairness.

Civil liberties organisations often focus on procedural fairness and government restraint. Vital work—but incomplete.

Rights Aotearoa centres universal human rights: economic, social, cultural, AND civil-political rights as indivisible.

We focus on managing the inter-rights conflicts.

Bluesky has NO ALGORITHM.
Likes are PRIVATE by default.
If you enjoy someone's content, you've GOT to get used to circulating it.
The point of social media is to be SOCIAL.
It's literally just a 2nd button press; please help artists out by hitting reblog, too! Likes are nice, reblogs get exposure!
Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift

I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.

If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?
