"Everything hurts Doc
I touch my knee, it hurts
I touch my arm, it hurts
I touch my head and it hurts
I touch my stomach and it hurts
Everything I touch hurts."
The Doctor said "You've broken your finger."
I replied,
"Doc, this isn't a joke.
It's a poem.
about my heart."

When mass market media is antifascist, it's through allegory, symbolism, metaphor—always with that layer of plausible deniability. It must be watered down to the point of not being threatening to the hegemony as political speech.
Rebel Scum wasn't threatening the hegemony.
And that's its problem.

Having to vote strategically is the sign of a failed electoral system.
I'm not saying not to.
Just understand why, exactly, you have been forced to not vote your conscience.

As polls narrow, it is up to everyone who has a progressive bone in their body—looking at NDP and Green past voters—and Liberals to get out to vote and make sure that the Liberal candidates in their ridings win.
The damage to all Canadians, if Poilievre wins, is irreparable.

The thing I hate the most about the Liberal push for 'strategic voting' and 'don't split the vote', is that if the Liberals would have followed through on their electoral reform promise in 2015, that conversation would not exist.
Yes, I will hold this grudge for the rest of my life.

Here's CTV using the word 'bandwidth' because they don't have the balls to say they don't have any balls.
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?
