Thank you, @leahgazan.bsky.social! We need a public option for food and groceries to take on the big chains that are gouging us at the till.
People across Canada know that the Liberals’ back door deals with CEOs haven’t made groceries any cheaper. We need bold responses to price shocks caused by extreme weather and corporate gouging. When will the government act and deliver on a public option for food?

Had a go at VCV Rack for the first time and learned how to send CV to MIDI and control my Arturia Minifreak, which is very cool. Thanks for the inspiration @jeremywentworth.com - I’m using your NoteSeq16 in this patch! #synthsky #vcvrack #music 🎛️🎚️🎵

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG. Yikes!!!!! Anyway, here’s a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

If I’ve learned anything from watching what’s happening in the US is that NOW is the time to keep governments on a VERY tight leash. Sign the petition… actionnetwork.org/letters/budg...

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. lewisforleader.ca/ youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY

Not cool, Mark. Interesting to see the headline for this article was edited since yesterday - thankfully he’s not attending. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Called my MP and wrote to the PM today to voice my concern. You should do the same. Fascists are not welcome here. www.pm.gc.ca/en/connect/c...

The fact that CBC was too cowardly to film this is indicative of a much bigger problem in media. When layoffs come, they tend to target journalists who are "problems" for management, who question authority. This is what you lose when you only keep the journalists who are deferential to authority:
The British media outlet ITV also went on a Jordanian airdrop and simply ignored the Israeli government’s illiberal demands: www.itv.com/news/2025-08...

An aid worker in northern Gaza tells NPR that people are starving, water is scarce and basic supplies are out of reach. He warns thousands could die in the coming days if nothing changes.

A new freedom flotilla has just set sail for Gaza, carrying prosthetic limbs for children, medication, baby formula and more. I spoke with the Canadian who is currently on board — @yipengge.bsky.social — and they have a message for both Canadians and for our government:

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

Listen to Anil. Screaming about how tech is evil doesn't help. Making sure that the tech is used properly with the control in the hands of people to empower themselves, rather than at the whims of billionaires enriching themselves is important.
This is true, but the larger scam pattern (web3/metaverse/crypto/etc) is what many of us are trying to give voice to — folks have to recognize that letting those bad actors define "tech" is just like media letting bad actors frame every other "debate". It's losing before we even start.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Love seeing Wotja on Bluesky!
Heads Up! We know we've been a bit quiet since 25.0 was released. Ever since then we've been working hard on 25.1 & expect it to be available before end March. It's a big update with lots of New Features & fixes. We're stoked about it & believe you'll feel the same way, too, when available! :)

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition. Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.
Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
