The people with the strongest material reason to protest are precisely the people for whom protesting is most expensive.

Ottawa isn't listed because it does not appear in the source data itself: the federal wastewater dataset published by the Public Health Agency of Canada. We invite the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Public Health to participate, contribute regular public data, and join the communities using evidence to help residents protect  themselves and one another. That’s what responsible, grown-up public health looks like.

Treat the wastewater chart like a forecast, not a test result. It won't tell you if you're sick, it tells you what's circulating where you live, so you can decide informed instead of guessing. https://covid.felineunion.org

Class consciousness or aliens? 👽🚩

Which one should you spend more time thinking about?

Aliens would actually be comforting.

The scarier revelation is that no extraterrestrials are running this shit. Humans built the machine, humans maintain it, and we've been trained to call it normal.

Whoever invented the phrase "cost of living" was an absolute bastard.

Like, excuse me? Cost of living?

You are born without consent and immediately somebody starts running the meter.

⚖️ RULE OF LAW / RULE OF ALLIES
Russia gets an arms embargo.
Israel gets Canadian components. 🇨🇦

Do you have daddy issues? 🤔
Anarchism might be for you.
No daddy.
No sky daddy.
No state daddy.
No boss daddy.
We can organize ourselves. 🏴

BDS turns political agreement into distributed action.

Start with a claim that sounds like exaggeration, and then spend the next half hour finding out that it isn't. Canadian policy toward Indigenous nations has had one objective for a very long time. End the distinct collective. Move the people. Extinguish the title.

We keep defeating the nouns while institutional power keeps rebuilding the verbs.

CBDC without a CBDC: programmable payment rails, digital wallets, mandatory identity/KYC, transaction surveillance, platform-controlled payments. You don't necessarily need one official "central bank digital currency" to build much of the functional infrastructure.

TIA without TIA: DARPA's Total Information Awareness program was politically killed, but large-scale data integration, pattern analysis, identity resolution, predictive analytics, and public-private intelligence systems continued developing elsewhere.

LifeLog without LifeLog: the government research project disappeared, while smartphones, social media, location histories, wearables, cloud storage, photos, purchases, vehicles, and biometrics collectively created something far more comprehensive than the original concept.

Fascism without declaring fascism:  concentrated executive power, fusion of state and corporate capabilities, surveillance, militarized policing, suppression of organized opposition, and increasingly conditional access to economic life.

Refuse to boycott Zionism in academia, and eventually you'll become what you never intended to be: its servant. 🎓

TIA was a building everyone could protest. 🏢🔥
Palantir is plumbing running between buildings. 🪠🕸️
Power learned that infrastructure attracts fewer tomatoes than institutions. 🍅

People stare at the sky terrified that somebody might be secretly poisoning them, then drink 70 grams of added sugar before lunch.

The most effective exposures don't need a conspiracy. They need normalization.

Alcohol normalized intoxication.
Sugar normalized metabolic overload.

☁️ "WHAT ARE THEY SPRAYING?"

🥤 My brother in Christ, read the fucking label.

A tenant can lose their home in a five-minute phone hearing they weren't present for. A head of state gets a decade. We built the tribunal the gap implies: The Hearing. Every procedure is real and cited. https://thehearing.felineunion.org/

Across the Prairies many sites now read 'non-detect' — the virus genuinely dropped below the limit of detection this spring. But 'no recent data' is different: absence of a number isn't absence of virus. https://covid.felineunion.org

Anarchism gave us protocols.

Capitalism gave us pop-ups.

The internet works because nobody owns TCP/IP.

The web sucks because somebody owns your attention

Steve Jobs explained the architecture in 1992:

Eliminate the warehouse of THINGS by building a warehouse of DATA.

1992: instrument the factory.
2026: instrument society.

People see Flock cameras and think the camera is the surveillance. 📷
That's just the loading dock.

Underneath is the iceberg: phone + car + face + plate + payments + location + work + medical + tax + communications + relationships + movement + years of behaviour.
LifeLog → sensors → identity → data centres → AI.

The factory became society.

The warehouse became the model.
And we became the inventory. 🧊🏭👁️

Project Athena made computing persist around the person. DARPA's LifeLog proposed making a computational record persist about the person. Hear the architectural prehistory on the original Steve Jobs tape. https://lifelog.felineunion.org/lifelog-intersection-analysis.html

The undoing of the current system begins when you reclaim your own commons.

Beer tastes better when the people making it have decent wages.

It tastes better when they have benefits.

It tastes better when they can tell the boss to fuck off without standing there alone.

It tastes better when some of the money from every beer goes to the workers instead of all of it flowing upward.

And suddenly, "union-made" isn't just a label.

Union-made beer already tastes better. 🍺✊
