Fast food corporations and trade groups have spent $4 million lobbying against a California bill that would hold corporations responsible when franchise owners break the law. Some of these companies, unsurprisingly, have a history of wage theft. Thread. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

Tesla faked its dashboard range projections under orders from Elon Musk so it seemed drivers could go farther before recharging. Last year, the volume of complaints became so high it created a special team to start canceling owners’ service appointments. reuters.com/investigates/s…

As a sports writer, I’ve found lots of the reaction to / coverage of Just Stop Oil really alarming. I think it says a lot about a lot of things, incl attitudes to the climate crisis and the role sport plays in it (thread)

Last week, @oliviachow said she's prioritizing meeting with City staff to see what can immediately be done about shelters and housing. Over the long weekend, City staff and @dixon_hall were busy evicting residents from the Strathcona shelter hotel on less than a day’s notice.

French police unions are now openly threatening mutiny against the government unless they’re given the green light to begin executing protestors in the streets.

We're truly witnessing a radicalization on both sides in France. This is an unreal communiqué by the main French police unions, essentially declaring France is in a civil war and that the police is in the "resistance" against the government. This is the translation: "Now…

The university says "there is no risk to the campus community" but a gender studies class by a female prof in the humanities targeted deliberately feels a lot like collective ideological danger that has now tipped into violence. You can't arrest one person and call it a day.

Earlier today, a man burst into a classroom at the University of Waterloo and demanded to know what the course was about. He then drew two knives from his jacket and began to stab the prof. The course was Philosophy of Gender. uwimprint.ca/article/stabbi…

Today the lab was greeted by innocuous appearing white adapters plugged in lab bays and offices. We inquired and learned the university is monitoring 'occupancy', i.e. when we are/are not in. Be on the lookout! Big brother is watching!👀

#SCOTUS has released its opinion in #Brackeen. A case that challenged a 40-yr-old law to prevent family separation in Native communities & threatened tribal sovereignty. In a victory for tribes, the Court upheld #ICWA.

The fires in Quebec are raging in tree plantations that get counted as carbon offsets. To the millions being evacuated or choking on the toxic smoke: anything you do against those responsible for greenwashing is legitimate self-defense.

In the United States nobody is allowed to buy normal gasoline. All of the gasoline on the market is cut with low quality grain liquor because corn farmers have 20% of the votes in their parliament.

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.
