From describing the border as a “sieve” for fentanyl and illegal immigrants to slamming Canada’s retaliatory tariffs, PSPP’s rightward pivot echoes American-style populism. What happened to the man who identified as a “progressive and democrat” just ten years ago? https://ow.ly/p27u50ZSvim

I think it's more comforting for some people to think of OBL as some evil genius or tragic victim of imperialism rather than a bog standard delusional ideologically extremist billionaire failson who thought he could accellerationism his way to a theocratic utopia

carney is a climate villain
As communities across Canada are reeling from a summer of breathing in wildfire smoke, evacuating from their homes, and navigating extreme heat and flooding, PM Carney is trying to keep youth and advocacy groups from having their day in court over Canada’s failure to have a credible climate plan.

The CBC should start calling Trump's boat bombings acts of terrorism.
Since the Republicans (and Conservatives) are so keen for them to editorialize about that kind of thing.
And these murders do fit most definitions of terrorism.

Guys I hate to break it to you, but under capitalism, automation improves productivity but doesn't actually reduce the amount of time workers must work to survive.
Instead, productivity gains are captured as profit.
Only worker organizing will reduce our labor time.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.
