As X continues its transformation into a critical piece of far right infrastructure and Elon Musk repeatedly sneaks into my phone's notifications, I am finding it harder to justify using X and so it's time to find the door.

@thetolerantweft Beautiful work, they remind me of the old labour banners common in the UK that highlight the community and region of a local and would hang in their halls.
@oliviachow 's comms team knocking it out of the park with getting her one of the most alienating headline a Toronto progressive could read. Hurting workers, Bank Ceo's, backroom deals, all rolled into one!

With my fellow #CUPE researchers discussing how to push back against privatization which disproportionately harms racialized workers. Equity issues are labour issues.
Lots of solidarity with @ATU_113 members At last night's Toronto Spring meeting. TTC workers are fighting for better wages, job security, and a stronger public transit system. We are joining with @ttcriders@fairwagesnow to build solidarity! #ttcstrike
📣 To whom it may concern: migrants are an important part of our communities, and are doing essential jobs, incl in healthcare. But when they get sick, Ontario fails them.
It's time for truly universal healthcare for everyone in Canada! #Healthcare4All
So strange to read entire tweets like this explicitly targeting the party that can't stop this rather than the party that can. The conservatives have the votes to amend the rules, the NDP don't.
They could performatively get thrown out, sure. But the only answer is con. Pressure.
Action Alert ‼️
Unlike her federal cousins, who have proudly worn the keffiyeh in the House of Commons in solidarity, @MaritStiles is proving to be Ontario’s weakest and most ineffective opposition leader in recent memory.
We have received reports that she has actively discouraged her MPPs from wearing keffiyeh in the legislature. Diverse communities and Ontarions of conscience expect the leader of the opposition to take action that is not just performative. @SarahJama_ should not have stood alone in wearing the keffiyeh - we expected your caucus to put words into action.
Marit, you have failed miserably on the keffiyeh issue and the picture of the three young diverse pages looking down in fear today will not be forgotten.
Tweet/tag @MaritStiles tonight to take action by tweeting #StandWithSarah

@mverbora I read this, but the median salary of a family physician in Canada sits at $233,726 /year according to job bank. How does that relate to what you're seeing.
@PaulFranklin76@organizeworkers Nonsense, collective action is about taking life into your own hands, aka power. One cannot work their way to a better world or a better community, that only comes from banding together.
@PaulFranklin76@organizeworkers Nothing like bargaining more and saying enough is enough to the person whose yacht you earned, whose vacation you paid for, whose management breaks your back, and whose decisions often hurt your family and community.
VICTORY!!! VW workers have just made history w/ @UAW, making Volkswagen the first nonunion automaker in the U.S. to go union since 1941. This is a watershed moment that will lead to a tidal wave of new organizing in the South and catapult the labor movement into a new era.
