ah there's a word for this. Thanks @nbedera.bsky.social. I find this 'symbolic compliance' is almost always the fist step to a campaign win. Hopefully it goes beyond that here.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum felt a lot like what I'm used to hearing from progressive campaign strategists.
He went so far as to provide an analysis of power and called for a nimble networked coalition.

The Trump administration has made it clear they are all in on oil and gas. If Canada wants to really step away from reliance on the US, it needs to transition off oil and gas as quickly as possible.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

American Federation of Teachers is (finally!) dumping X, and moving to Bluesky. Good for them!
It's time to officially let X/Twitter go. That platform's decline from a vibrant public square to what is now a platform for hate & disinformation has been painful to experience. I’ve already in this great community & look forward to continuing our conversations.

@bmann.ca can you help them make the right decision?
An update on how the City of Vancouver provides real-time text updates and information about its council meetings.
Currently, the only way you can get that information is by having an account on X, the very fun website that everyone loves.
Yesterday, they passed a motion to explore alternatives.
