Bird Site Migrant Angst vs The Latest on Emergencies Act Inquiry 🧵
#EAInquiry #cdnpoli

Wrote 100 post thread on this here #BirdSite about everything that'd NOT be covered by the #EmergenciesActInquiry & how we'll need a #Jan6thInquiry that digs into ALL OF IT, not just whether Trudeau was justified (because OF COURSE he was). /2 #cdnpoli

Lots worth adding today but I'm feeling the weight of being here. Building here. When every day it feels increasingly like things are DESIGNED to chase me and people that think like me outta here to somewhere else. It's gross these days. Getting grosser /3 #mastodonmigration

I set up shop over at #Mastodon. You can find me @[e-mail]. I'm still coming to terms with all this, yet another transition to manage but it's not just that. It's not just annoying. It's cheating. They can't win the debate so they seized the means of debate. /4

Progressive Twitter is mid-decimation but not through any failing of ours. In a lot of ways we've been winning lately. Being able to communicate around the world with good people facing the exact same forces & tactics has played a bigger role than we'll ever know. /5 #abpoli

Enter the world's richest man. Born rich bullshit artist who made Progressive noises when it served his needs to get gobs of federal funding for an electric car biz he never created, just bought. Now it serves his purpose to court the easy to manipulate racist bozos & fascists /6

Hmmmm. Is this my last thread on here? I wonder. I truly don't know. It all comes back to me lending this place credibility. Lending HIM credibility. Which lends THEM credibility. The people willingly or unwittingly co-degrading this world so only the wealthy win. /7

Downloaded my data archive. Maybe all that's left is to *really* tell him where to go. Get booted. Burn my account before he gets around to it. "You can't fire me, I quit." Burn in hell you eternally friendless oddly robotic greedhead/8
