Trump just earlier this month told his crowd TO THEIR FUCKING FACES that they were piggies who would gobble up the stupidest slop in the world, but if Obama suggests that 79 page menu Cheesecake Factory is tacky its oh gee gosh these elitist attacks on our hardscrabble working-class institutions lol

It's cool seeing Brazil become a reference against the far-right, but you can't focus exclusively on online strategies. Lula also had politics that engaged people: he banned online gambling, reduced work hours, improved wages, defended public healthcare, etc. You don't mobilize masses on centrism.

The American CEO who bought Stelco is openly admitting that he purchased the company to sabotage it. This is why the Liberals should have never approved Stelco's sale in the first place. When you give away ownership of a critical industry like steel, your economy is forever under another's thumb.

Cleveland-Cliffs CEO: I bought Stelco because I could not afford anymore having Stelco flooding the market here in the United States to the detriment of my own company. David Cochrane: Am I understanding you correctly there? It was a defensive acquisition?

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Great commentary in the CBC about BC's historically low voter turnout and the role first-past-the-post plays in that, with commentary from Fair Vote Canada. We need proportional representation so everyone feels they have a voice in our democracy. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I saw an interview with an AI bro in his 50s say that “The young people are embracing AI! It’s the old people who are scared!” No. It’s the old, established people in power who LOVE this stuff. Because it means they don’t have to hire anyone and no longer have to pretend to get along with people.

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

It's still baffling to me that 48% of voters voted for a criminal (but not surprising, sadly). Or that said criminal could even run for president in the first place...

Awesome. Now turn all police stations into public spaces, permanently. Turn them into libraries and day cares and open office space and Internet cafes.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Using Israel as an argument against proportional representation is misleading. Its electoral system is unusual, with no local constituencies or vote for individual candidates. PR isn’t one system. We can have fairer elections and strong local representation. @electoralreform.bsky.social 👇

It's a blatant display of intellectual dishonesty: he claims to believe that "AI" is the future of gaming development and it should be embraced, but he also seems to think its use should be a matter of privacy and not to be broadcasted to customers. Such an intolerable dipshit.

On a serious note: I'm so thankful our city made the right choice tonight. What a relief. There are a number of wonderful, progressive candidates who also won this evening, and I am thrilled for them and their ridings. Okay we now return to our scheduled programming of making fun of Brad Bradford

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Mayoral races should use instant runoff, score, or approval voting. Councillor votes (>1 per ward) should use score or approval voting. :/ *grumbles* #onpoli

The person I wanted to be mayor won in my city with over 50% of the (meagre) vote, so... yay? I still think FPTP for these positions - and councillors - is really dumb. My two ward councillors were elected with 30% and 19% of the vote. #onpoli #Guelph

Glad to see Chow get reelected in Toronto, too. I think she's got the right ideas, she's just hamstrung by our Conservative "majority" government messing with things. Like most municipalities are. #onpoli #TOpoli

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.
