Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi told PBS News that talking or negotiating with the US is no longer on the agenda.

He says that despite making progress during previous rounds of negotiations, the US still chose to attack Iran.

Ludlow Massacre - Wikipedia

The strikebreakers used airplanes to drop bombs and poison gas on the coal miners.

It only ended when the US Army showed up 27,000 strong and the miners refused to fight them because most were recently returned WW1 veterans.

The Coal Wars were insane.

Mine is the late 1800s to early 1900s labour movement

Did y'all know that 10,000 coal miners faced off against a private army of 3,000 strikebreakers at the Battle of Blair Mountain? It was the largest domestic armed conflict in American history after the Civil War.

"A recent survey of global executives published in the Harvard Business Review found that although AI has been cited as the reason for some layoffs, those cuts are almost entirely anticipatory: executives expect big efficiency gains that have not yet been realized."

Suicides increased fivefold when adolescents on the waitlist were told they would be permanently waitlisted.

45 kids and untold relatives of these kids are now grieving.

And still they are like, but wait, we don't have enough evidence.

Tumbler Ridge shooting mirrors concerns raised in murder-suicide inquest held same day | CBC News The B.C. NDP has promised a mental health counsellor in every school but gaps, particularly in rural regions, persist.

On the day of the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, a coroner’s inquest revealed that a separate murder-suicide in Prince Rupert was fueled in part by inadequate mental health supports, particularly in northern B.C.

If you support a petition that violates Treaty rights, then you support the violation of Treaty rights.

It’s that simple.

Put bottles and jars in the drawer, because when you need them you'll go looking.

Put produce in the door so it's in eyesight.

Trust me it works.

Royal Canadian Air Force Major Discovered on White Supremacist Dating Site The Canadian Anti-Hate Network has identified over 190 Canadian users of a white supremacist dating website, including a Royal Canadian Air Force Major.

Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024.

"The upside of the Canadian PM having captured global attention is that he may wake a lot of folks up to the core job of the liberal figurehead, which is to sound intelligent, measured and balanced while being a bootlicking protector of the ruling class." www.instagram.com/reel/DVdu_8Z...

Love the video, Frances.

Everyone in Vancouver, please vote for @fabulavancouver.bsky.social in both the nomination, and in the general election for city council. Most city councillors have a big learning curve, even though some of them don’t seem to think so. Frances has a BIG head start. #VOTE

It’s time for a reclamation boom
It’s time for a reclamation boom YouTube video by Avi Lewis

Workers can’t transition to a promise or an idea β€” the jobs need to be waiting. Fortunately, across Alberta, tens of thousands of jobs *are* waiting if only we force oil and gas companies to clean up the mess they’ve made.

It's time for a reclamation boom.

That is the logic of anti-dei reactionary colorblindness. Acknowledging discrimination against a particular group is inherently discriminatory. bsky.app/profile/bren...

So full disclosure, my sister was Cia's divorce lawyer (and she's a pretty kickass lawyer in her own right).

She spent the past few weeks screening and interviewing some of the top boutique litigation firms in Canada to find the right lawyers for this case.

Those bastards are going down.

Have boosted Freshet before and happy to boost them again!

If we care about Metro Vancouver's patchwork of municipalities to keep them as separate things, with separate city halls, civic institutions and political cultures, then we need to care enough to fund media that will cover them.
