NEW: HonestReporting Canada continues employing a guy charged with allegedly spray-painting “FUCK GAZA” (charges were later dropped). That hasn’t stopped media from giving in to their demands. And it didn’t stop Parliament from inviting them to speak this week.

The claim that Akrotiri was struck by a Shahid drone is a blatant lie being peddled by @aljazeera.com lately. Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs confirmed that neither Cyprus, Turkey, nor Azerbaijan were targets of Iran's retaliatory strikes against the US and "Israel."
Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.
I like how my guy here thinks they're dropping special bombs that only hit straight Iranians
Oooh not again.
Indefensible and should be condemned by the global professional orgs.
Iran signed and ratified the nuclear nonproliferation treaty in 1970. It does not have nuclear weapons and there is no evidence it has nuclear weapons.
Israel refuses to sign the NPT. It has 200 secret nuclear weapons. It bans independent UN inspections.
So to keep the world safe, USA bombs Iran.🤔
“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”
“Free Palestine!”

Despite longstanding concerns that social media platforms are too addictive and harming young users, "they continue to optimize for spending more and more time on these platforms," says Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.
Insanity. They are laughing at us.
Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student activist, faced deportation proceedings amid a protest crackdown under Trump.
Oh. My. God. Chomsky talking about the 'hysteria' that has developed about the abuse of women and giving Epstein advice on how to handle the media. In 2019. The Media studies discipline and much of the left should reflect on the power given to this one flawed man to shape generations of thought.

Post from Yale University with a link to Yale News and a photo of David Brooks with text reading "Yale is launching a new Presidential Senior Fellowship to expand access to the transformative work of universities. As part of this program, author and columnist David Brooks will join the Jackson School of Global Affairs starting February 1. Read more in Yale News"
Post from The Atlantic Communications with a link to a press release about David Brooks, pictured, with text reading "We’re excited to announce that David Brooks is joining The Atlantic as a staff writer. The Atlantic will be the home for all of his writing, and he will also host a new weekly video podcast that will launch later this spring"
Most media headlines right now are like "We are laying off 2/3 of our staff and also the president is our ombudsman now" but somehow David Brooks got two new jobs in one day
An uprising of children in a DHS concentration camp in Dilly, Texas!
They focused on the mistreatment of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old from Minnesota, abducted with his father by ICE last week
Immigration attorney Eric Lee could hear shouting [and] believed “hundreds of children” took part.
>named in Epstein files
>>gets hired at the Atlantic and Yale
We tried the carrot. Here’s the stick.
#ICE is ramping up attacks against immigrants and American citizens— and #Palantir is their surveillance backbone.
Go to www.purgepalantir.com/the-palantir-payroll/ for the list of dirty politicians trading our rights for Palantir $$$ — then call them out.
Hootsuite is also working with ICE.
Corporations profiting from fascism and state execution abroad
US-owned TikTok is a greater threat than Chinese-owned TikTok.
When I wrote this a year ago, part of me wondered whether I was being overly pessimistic. It turns out that things are much worse than I thought.

Post from Threads: BREAKING: Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez has expelled French diplomats after their government's support for the illegal U.S. attacks
She ain’t playing!
It's 2026 and @theglobeandmail.com is making blatant displays of misogynoir by addressing the only Black woman running for NDP party leadership as "Yves Engler's wife." Mugyenyi is not a proxy for Engler, she's cited saying "we are two different people"...They didn't even include a photo of her!
We all know the NY Times is a mouthpiece of empire.
Not giving any kudos to Marine Le Pen, but it’s fascinating to contrast the statement of the far-right French leader saying allowing the US to violate Venezuelan sovereignty “would be to accept our own enslavement tomorrow” with the childish, cheerleading of Canada’s extreme right-wing Poilievre.
The depth of Canadian military ties to US is so extensive it’s all but impossible for US to commit some major military crime without Canadian forces involvement. Trump mentioned US Space Command role’s in US raid to kidnap Maduro. Did this Canadian general play a role?
