I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The Carney government’s entire strategy is based on the premise that the US threat to Canada is purely economic. It is unsuited to protecting Canada and Canadians from the US descent into authoritarianism and fascism. The government needs to course-correct immediately.
What would that look like?

A group of 31 rich men took out a full page ad in the @theglobeandmail.com this morning, Canada-washing their support for Poilievre & the Conservatives, to get lower taxes & other policies that will make them richer.

31 men. No women.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.

If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Peirre Poilievre has been in parliament for 20 years and the only bill he has ever passed was a voter suppression bill. He has a net worth of 25 million dollars. He won’t get security clearance. He repeats kremlin propaganda.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

If anyone reading this is wondering why so many people on the pro-science end of the spectrum are so viscerally opposed to letting Dr Henry anywhere near the CMOH job, here's a thread for you. Due to her legacy of failure there are a lot of reasons, so it's fairly long:

bsky.app/profile/mark...
Anyone else noticing the surge of desperate efforts to retroactively manufacture ambiguity from those responsible for basic failures throughout the pandemic?

It's simple. Aerosol transmission was known to be a major and serous risk since day 1, requiring N95s etc.

Dr. Henry failed to convey that.
TFW you give a talk about rewriting history in which you, wait for it, rewrite some history.

Dr. Henry claims she's always been nuanced about value of masks and about how COVID is spread, but the record says otherwise.

Noble idea. an one I will pursue.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.
