I think progressives have had a problem with "purity tests" (the need for all leaders to have tightly aligned perspectives or else stay quiet about it)
And I think the Democratic Party has had a problem with being...undemocratic - with too much power in the institution and not in the people.

A miniature dachshund that went missing 16 months ago on Kangaroo Island in South Australia has been spotted alive and well – but continues to evade a team of volunteer searchers and wildlife experts who say they are “amazed” the dog survived for so long in the wild.
Valerie weighed less than 4kg, had a pink collar and “would never leave [the] side” of her owner, Georgia Gardner, before she went missing in November 2023.

Elevating this conversation and increasing news coverage is what we need; our spending makes little difference sadly. While I believe supporting businesses that "do right" by society is obviously good and moral, punishing or removing the ones that don't can only be achieved by political organizing.
I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

Millenials and gen Z never had a chance. Let this article be your "we will fight them on the beaches" moment.
Here's my new piece. It's a deep dive into why Millennials have been infantilized and why teenagerness has been extended into young adulthood: it's a tool of social control to render entire generations incapable of organizing to fight back.

I'm scared that "this is not who we are" tactics against #poiliever will fail in Canada just as they did for the Dems in the US. People are broke, angry and racist. Not saying the left should run a hateful campaign like PP but political messaging must meet people where they're at. #cdnpoli

Cory Doctorow describes how software platform technologies go wrong and what it might look like when our homes and vehicles are on those platforms.
