Also, this headline only makes sense if your baseline assumption is that men someone own or are the basic units of the "workplace." This would be historically inaccurate given most of our species' history working alongside each other before a tiny sliver adopted separate spheres for like 100 years

Women are dying of sepsis after being denied abortions. A conservative sect that wants to repeal women’s voting rights is growing and gaining national attention. *This* is the NYT’s contribution to conversations about women?

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

👏Vassy👏
Sometimes questions are more revealing than answers.

The interview yesterday by Vassy Kapelos with Demetrios Nicolaides is one of those times.

Please enjoy these highlights.

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Imagine being an indentured servant because that's what teachers in Alberta now are.

Anyway, a friend of mine is a teacher, and they are actively looking for another job. Expect a lot of retirements and stress leaves in the coming weeks. #ableg #abpoli
The legislation is supposed to embargoed until tabled, but if this is accurate…

Smith is invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work.

Which is an admission that she is violating charter rights.

It is a dark day in Alberta.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

*clears throat*

I want my tax dollars to fund cost of living indexed teacher pay, appropriate student to teacher ratios, new schools with funded staff & covid shots for educators & staff.

Much of the $ can be found in Smith’s sideshow pandering to groups she needs to maintain leadership.

I’m seeing a number of School Trustee candidates avoid direct questions about any links they have to Take Back Alberta by stating they don’t know who they are

Even if I take the answer as honest & not obfuscation, I can’t vote for someone who is that oblivious to threats to education in Alberta.

Says the guy who isn't interested in investing in Canadian workers, adequate social supports for Canadians, or vitally important services that ensure that Canadians have equitable access to necessities.

Charlie Kirk was just shot and killed.

This moment is horrifying in several ways. Political violence is always wrong.

His murder is also already being used among bad actors to fan the flames of further division, hatred and violence.

Including here in Canada:

Terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment

Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have a right to "retaliate," regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?

Anyone tempted by the “we need to stand witness to what’s happening” yeah you do not. Ask any internet mod from the past 20 years.

You cannot unsee what you see. Read the text description, then stop. If I could time-travel, that is what I’d tell my younger self. I still have random flashbacks.

Alberta’s teachers have given everything to their students, schools, and communities. But their pay has fallen behind, workloads have soared, and classrooms are bursting without the resources they need. Public education is in crisis.
