Goddamn the (neo)liberals — they create the conditions for right wing populist trolls — then have you hoping like hell they beat the right wing populist trolls.

Loved talking w @parismarx.com for @zeteo.com about the AI Coup and the vampiric nature of this technology.

It's us or the machines, my friends. And thought we are far from perfect, I choose us over the bots.

Stay for Charlie Chaplin's anti-fascism at the end!

I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”.

I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans.

Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.

There's no reconciliation, no justice, without truth. In this time of backlash, we must defend the progress made (limited and imperfect, but progress nonetheless) on recognizing the truth of colonization and genocide in Canada.
The CCJ expresses our solidarity with the Chiefs of the Syilx Okanagan Nation. We remain committed to recognizing historical and ongoing realities and upholding Indigenous rights, academic freedom, and the work of decolonization.

I posted this job here and we received many wonderful applicants. We could not be more excited to welcome @shannondaub.bsky.social to the Centre for Climate Justice at UBC. She's a research and policy titan with 25 years of experience and we are going to make good trouble while we still can!

My pre-budget interview with the Black Press chain, first since the launch of @bcpolicy.bsky.social.

It's toe-to-toe with one of BC's big business lobby groups.

I make the case for strong public investments and against cutbacks and austerity in the BC budget. www.vicnews.com/news/bc-econ...
