Part 1 of #Settler Frames is available for PDF download from my site. With this research project I explore #identity formation growing up in Western #Canada in the 1980s & introduce my "Five Settler Archetypes." It's a work in progress where I'm trying to combine the personal with the theoretical.

Canadian youths ask court to impose binding climate protections. Landmark trial pitting young Canadians against the federal government over its alleged climate policy failures opens, with lawyers for the youths describing climate change as a "grave threat" u.afp.com/Sy5v

A huge congratulations to @mayoroliviachow.ca and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight.

Politicians take note.

Imagine a city with infrastructure that allows businesses-by-bike to thrive.

More. Of. This!

Under the guise of self-regulation, Anthropic recently proposed a safety bill to lawmakers that would allow government intervention only once a new AI model has caused more than 50 deaths or one billion dollars’ worth of damage. https://michaelwest.com.au/anthropic-ai-hug-it-or-mug-it/

Yes - congrats and will order ASAP

On this week's @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social, I'm back behind the mic with @kvanaren.bsky.social for a super-sized episode that covers the new season of The Diplomat, a classic West Wing cliffhanger, and some guy named Rod Serling. Watch on YouTube:

According to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, President Trump's administration has proposed former Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán as a candidate for UN Secretary-General. The United States is reportedly counting on Russia and China to support the idea.

NEW: Brent Taylor is the front-runner for one of Memphis’ congressional districts, recently redrawn from majority Black to majority white. As state senator, he repeatedly used his power to supersede local officials — and the will of the city’s voters. with @mlk50.com

Cybersecurity CEO Indicted for Allegedly Scamming Millions From Ransomware Victims www.propublica.org/article/zoha...

The Trump administration has asked a judge to block Alaska from certifying its Senate results if Democrat Mary Peltola narrowly wins, citing confusion over two candidates named Dan Sullivan.

Progressive Policy over Rapacious Markets any day!

Many are cheering ONE election result in Brazil, but in fact the news is mixed. Lula has won the presidency, but Bolsonaro's right-wing Partido Liberal is the largest party in both Chamber of Deputies & Senate... by large margins. Better news from Serbia, where Student List won absolute majority!

Russian "humanitarians" are striking public buses again. This time in Kherson. A 67-year-old man was killed‼️

So amazing to wake up to good news for a change - the student movement in Serbia defeating authoritarianism and movements in Brazil defeating fascism. Democracy, justice and the environment thank you!!

These lies are so disgusting and anyone voting to hand more of Memphis to this guy should be made to wear the geyser of hate he spews daily @jamestalarico.bsky.social winning will mean Elon set hundreds of millions ablaze trying to buy himself a senator in Paxton

This is the book it’s from: bookshop.org/p/books/prin...

screenshots of Jared Kushner’s iPhone that revealed his access to foreign bank accounts, claims Kushner’s counsel denies. Every voter who cares about who our leaders answer to should read what follows.

Not worth the paper it’s written on.

The El Paso firefighters are back in their 👠! Yesterday, they completed the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event to stand against violence toward women. What an amazing group of men, and they looked great doing it! 👏🏽 #SheShed

And I’m 100% okay with that. “West Hollywood city officials have said he was the aggressor in the incident and baited the couple into violence.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Kash Patel is taking credit for Biden-era FBI work and an operation led by Ghana. Ghana called him out, and his $17 billion seizure claim is bogus. The FBI director is supposed to investigate fraud, not perform it in clown makeup.

🤮🤮🤮

ICE assaulted a US citizen, dragging him from his vehicle in front of his family and one-year-old daughter who were also inside the car in Donna Texas on Thursday morning.

“It’s so much worse than people realize… we are sitting ducks…” Service members and military families share accounts/photos/videos of being attacked in Trump’s pointless war, as leadership fails them, and hides the truth. (From @MeidasTouch) meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

The *second* best thing about a James Talarico win would be how angry this annoying, interfering dork will be at not being able to buy a Senate seat for $200,000,000.

Oh look, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is exactly as corrupt as we all know he is. “More than $700 MILLION in transfers” — Saudi Arabia & UAE set up a multi-billion dollar slush fund for him. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Trump set up a whistleblower hotline to catch fraud, and America immediately understood the assignment: flooding it with reports on Trump, his family, and his entire cabinet. Huge shoutout to everyone doing their patriotic duty by reporting the actual criminals! 💅🔥

Geez. VOTE EARLY and please help others to do same.

Do not wait to vote till November 3rd. Lines will be extremely long. This is the 2nd day of early voting in Texas, and they are lined up already before the polls even open. Get out there and cast your ballot. They wouldn't be trying to stop you if it wasn't so important.

Running against Musk isn't only good politics right now, it's good patriotism.

i don't think we can come to a reasonable compromise with this

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

We are sensing a pattern
