JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS (2001) got trapped by its own marketing. Sold as a lightweight teen movie for tweens, it was actually a sharp satire of consumerism, and pop music culture. A lot of the audience it was aimed at was too young to catch the joke.

You do realize we pay our entire government to do nothing but commit crimes against us… and then cover them up, right?

We can't have wind or solar power because of how it “ruins the landscape” but data centers get a full pass.

The genocide of Indigenous people in Canada never stopped. It's an ongoing process that we need to dismantle.

We made it all up. All of it. Money, bills, capitalism, war, laws, the 5-day workweek, 3 meals a day, school, traditions, housing costs, food insecurity. Almost everything we say is “just the way it’s done” is something humans created, and it is important to remember that.

@SueLubowitz @wickdchiq As someone from said "other provinces", I can assure you progress has not been made.

Too often, it's communal spaces or facades that get "refreshed" while much-needed in-unit repairs are neglected. Then, tenants get hit with an above-guideline rent increase (AGI). It's how bad landlords extract more profits while forcing poorer tenants out. It's win-win for them.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?

When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?

I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.

@wickdchiq So if big tech and AI platforms are targeting young people, why is he so keen on getting AI data centres in the province? The math isn't mathing on this one.

[ally @missmayn]

they want us to believe it’s a national security emergency to fall behind china on Ai but falling behind china on high speed rail, renewable energy and childhood nutrition is a-OK.

Mamdani taxed the rich and suddenly libraries work, potholes get fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

I don’t think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.

“Work isn’t supposed to be fun,” “life is supposed to be hard.” Why? Says who?

We operate under this belief that everything meaningful has to be difficult, when it really doesn’t. The whole point of progress is to make life suck less, not glorify unnecessary struggle.

In 1986, psychiatrist George Pollock documented that the nervous system activates grief responses at the same time each year - even when the conscious mind has no memory of the date

The United States has the largest prison population on earth.

Not per capita.

Total.

More people in cages than China.

More than Russia.

More than every "authoritarian" state it condemns in its annual human rights reports.

1.8 million people.

Disproportionately Black.

Disproportionately poor.

Disproportionately from the zip codes with the worst schools, the fewest jobs, the most abandoned infrastructure.

This is presented as a "criminal justice system."

It functions as a labor system.

Prison labor, paid between 13 cents and $1.15 an hour in most states, produces goods for McDonald's, Walmart, Victoria's Secret, Whole Foods, and the United States military.

The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, contains an exception clause:

"Except as punishment for crime."

That exception has never been closed.

It has been expanded.

The plantation did not disappear.

It received a different name and a legal foundation.
