I do not want, in any way, to minimize the extremely serious problems in #Canada's #grocery industry; it is far too vertically integrated, also true on the global food production level.

That said, can we all please think back to 2020-2022? How governments the world over opened the spigots and printed money, trying to avoid a recession while also galvanizing response to #COVID-19?

Runaway inflation was extremely likely.

Except wages.

#Journalists need to mention this.

When #journalists are not looking for a signing bonus but a #security detail. It looks related to me. It looks related to the #war on truth that the Trump administration is waging.

Gaza’s next generation of journalists

Nahed Hajjaj, 26, has already survived Israeli bombings and lost close friends. But he is determined to keep reporting as a journalist in Gaza.

“I wanted to work in media because, to be honest, this country needs me,” Hajjaj told Al Jazeera. ⁣

The International Federation of Journalists reports that Palestine was the deadliest place to work as a journalist in 2025, with 56 Palestinian media professionals killed. Since Israel’s war broke out, nearly 300 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza.

Journalists know that ppl only read headlines, so a sneaky trick they use to shift opinion without actually lying is the "headline as suggestive question" thing.

So for ex:

"Did Diotima Embezzle Instance Funds?"

...now ofc in the story it would say no (the instance is paid for by Dio so that's sort of impos) but bc of how ppl read and process, it becomes:

"Diotima Embezzled Instance Funds"

In ppl's minds. That's just how most ppl process, psychologically.

And YES, journos know this is a thing. It's part of journo 101, literally. This is why u RLY need to be aware of these things; u RLY need to read the fking stories, and u RLY need to actively train urself to not do this.

BC tbh? Propaganda isn't necessary when "just asking Qs" will do.

As a nation, we face a decisive moment. Trust the #journalists who witness tyranny at street level.

Amid the stream of coverage of state-sponsored violence you may have missed the stories of the journalists arrested, detained or roughed up.

@cassolotl so basically a #Sneakernet system where everyone just has messages and files fully encrypted and they get manually transported point-to-point in a decentralized mesh topology?

Makes sense...

This is basically how #Journalists get footage from #NorthKorea and how reporters do get footage out if places like that and #Iran

"Authoritarian systems do not begin by jailing everyone. They begin by isolating voices. They begin by making examples. They begin by teaching the public that speaking up carries a cost.

And journalists are always near the top of that list.

Why?

Because journalists give voice to the people."

"Trump has employed the chaos strategy for years, doing so many awful things all at once so his political opponents can’t craft a message to address it all or successfully organize to stop his obvious wrongs.

But it’s especially terrifying now, as the strategy is an effort to get away with literal murder, financial heist, and election rigging."

"As Americans watch in horror as immigration goons are jailing innocent kids and killing U.S. citizens who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, President Donald Trump is flooding the zone with so much chaotic and horrific news in an effort to overwhelm the public."

"These charges are clearly political and they are clearly unwarranted. They have to know at the Justice Department that they cannot get a conviction. They have to know that because they've been told that by five different federal judges."

"It’s about intimidating journalists & attempting to make them censure themselves out of fear of consequences, which can be very expensive, especially for an independent journalist who lacks the backing of a major company. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism."

"When the Washington Post reporter's home was searched, her computer, her phone were seized, and The owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, said nothing. He still has said nothing. This is the reaction you get from legacy media when their reporters are abused."

"The fact that independent media now has such a great burden to carry is both our privilege, our obligation, and a sad commentary on what's happened to the legacy media. Now, I want to point something out, the dog that did not bark."

"Every reference to Trump should include the fact that he is a twice-impeached, convicted felon who lies whenever he speaks. The press has bowed before Trump for eight years. He learned from their subservience and took the next logical step. It is time for the mainstream media to become part of the resistance. Better late than never!"

"Everything Trump says is a lie, but the media dutifully repeats Trump’s lies as if they deserve equal dignity with truthful statements by Democrats. …

In the face of the arrest of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, every news agency with a White House pool reporter should recall the reporter from the assignment and turn in their White House credentials."

"Members of the media are understandably outraged, as they should be. This is a five-alarm fire. But it is one that has been burning for eight years. Trump attacked, mocked, and sued journalists in his first term. But the media continued to report on Trump as if he were a 'normal' president who deserved to be treated with a presumption of regularity and respect."

"It is a dramatic assault on the First Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the government from curtailing the freedom of the press.

It is also a transparent attempt to change the popular narrative."
