@cdarwin@c.imCanada’s left-leaning
New Democratic Party (NDP)
has elected a new leader,
someone whose campaign drew comparisons to the politics and style of U.S. figures like
Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani.
On March 29, the NDP elected
Avi Lewis on the first round of balloting
with 55 percent of the vote in his first successful political campaign.
The NDP was decimated in the April 2025 federal election.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialImagine in what kind of "great atmosphere" the negotiations between the US and Iran will take place. The US attacked during earlier negotiations, killed several levels of Iranian leadership, their family etc... Two weeks will not be enough to accomplish anything meaningful I think 🤔 without even mentioning the fact that there is disagreement about how Lebanon is part of the current ceasefire. Trump's idea about quickly reaching a deal is pure fiction.

@hex@kolektiva.socialWhen I got in to tech, things felt fragile. After years of trying to fix things, I spent more years feeling as though the information apocalypse was immanent. Everywhere I turned, something was broken horribly. I can't even count the number of times I've just had to be like, "oh fuck. That's really bad. I knew it was bad, but like... oh fuck."
We have *all* had our identity stolen. I don't even know how many times my social security number has been in a data breach. How many of my medical records are on the market? But yeah, sure, let's accelerate that.
The problem was never that we couldn't find problems. The problem has always been "leadership" being unwilling to invest in fixing them. The problem has always been this mind-set of growth-at-any-cost.
I tuck these things away in my brain, and they sit there gnawing on my sanity, like little RFK worms.

@cdarwin@c.imIn war, rhetoric matters. The violence of Trump’s language represents a consistent and central aspect of his approach to international relations.
The White House seems to believe that hostile and threatening language,
paired with the use of overwhelming force,
represents an effective approach to global leadership, one that will force other countries to bend to the United States’ will.
The reality, however, is that while threats can sometimes get results,

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caAfter many years as a staunch fence-sitter/political neutral, I voted in two previous political leadership races. The first was the 2020 Green leadership race. I was excited to support a candidate, and was then horrified to find out he was a Russian propagandist claiming to be a ‘anti-imperialist’. You can figure out who that is on your own lol. Have fun :)
The second leadership race I participated in was the BC NDP race that pitted David Eby against Anjali Appadurai.
She was treated horribly, and I would say with fear, by the BC NDP leadership. She could have been a sea change in real social progressive leadership in BC and Canada but was pushed out.
She's working for Avi Lewis’ campaign.

@pre@boing.worldIn my ward the greens seem to have got about a third of the vote vs Labour with the rest. 2:1
Which is a big improvement. 300 or so neighbors to turn.
In the borough we've gone from unanimous Labor to about a third Green. Which is oddly proportional to my ward. Not really sure I understand the actual counting system with the three votes I had or if it's PR or not.
Nationally its awful for Labour but also worse for the country since outside London they lost mostly to the Reform (nee Brexit) party/private-company.
Conservatives seem irrelevant, even Lib Dems more important.
I've been casting doubt upon the idea of an imminent Reform government, saying it'd be unprecedented for Reform to go from one ever elected MP to 400 MPs in a single election. But these elections feel pretty close to that kind of swing.
Starmer says he'll stay on. He has no concept of what government should do other than give tax breaks to businesses to try to get economic growth, and crack down in authoritarian ways with increased surveillance and ID checks and prosecuting protestors.
He doesn't seem to realize that government can just do things, especially after Brexit. It can just pay people to build infrastructure owned by and giving profit to the state. It does not need private investment. Isn't that supposed to be the point of a Labour party?
So things will continue to get worse and Labour will continue to chase Reform policies (and so validate them). So Reform may well win.
There is one hope. Burnham could resign as mayor, a safe-seat MP could resign, and Burnham stands there. Assuming he wins he could then stand for leadership. And then if he wins and then actually does something despite the protest of the right wing of his own party, maybe things could get better.
That's a lot of conditionals. You'd want good odds to place a bet on that.
Or the greens of course. These elections have seen hundreds of new green councilors. The momentum is good. Probably take the council here next time unless that Burnham things happens.
So good for Greens, but better for Reform, and we could do with a Labour party which wasn't failing.
Oh well. Fingers crossed I guess. Few more years till the national ones.
