It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

I think we underestimate the extent to which the right wing has eroded civil society simply by pulling stunts like this that make any public participation extremely unpleasant.
Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

There's Outrage for Jimmy Kimmel, Not for Black Journalists [smaller text]
Headline: The Silence Around Black Journalists' Cancellations Makes the Jimmy Kimmel Outcry Ring Hollow
Free speech only becomes a crisis when a white man loses his microphone. When Black journalists lose theirs, it's treated as business as usual.
[four pictures of Black journalists]
Caption: American media always tells on itself.
Lots of folks are in uproar over Jimmy Kimmel. One white man loses his late-night show, and suddenly it's the end of free speech, the death of comedy, and the collapse of American democracy. Now that his suspension is over and he's getting his show back, the whole saga is being spun as vindication, as proof that white voices are too essential to ever stay silenced. Funny how all that righteous outrage was mute when a long line of Black journalists lost their shows or platforms over the past several years.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a37vzkeigxyiyhp5h6uc3lnh/bafkreigywdwodepw4lrzwrvnxkuzgiimkifck7zekpwggf2qcm4of5qf6m@jpeg)

I appreciate @charlieangus104.bsky.social for keeping me informed about our shared history.
Canada was on the front lines in fighting fascism. Those that came home rarely spoke about what they had seen and what they had done to free other people from tyranny.
We need those stories now more than ever.
Here is my reflection on the lessons of Ortona.

This is the approximate amount Ontario thinks taxpayers should contribute to the building of a parking lot for a European megaspa that will be an eyesore on Toronto's waterfront. I find that helps put things into perspective on government spending priorities.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good
