My new op-ed: if it survives the war, the Islamic Republic will be weaker but nastier. It will be under pressure domestically & geopolitically. Iranian Canadians are mobilizing against it.
➡️We should expect more transnational repression against them.

What happened to the Iranian girls school was tragic and horrific, and it’s become clear it was an American strike. The President's claim it could've been Iran was always a lie. There needs to be a full and transparent investigation so that it doesn't happen again.
What is nihilistic violent extremism? @amaramarasingam.bsky.social (@queenspols.bsky.social) tells Eric Bombicino it’s a “violence fixation” — an obsession with chaos where the violence is the point — and why “violence for violence’s sake” is so hard to prevent. Tonight at 8pm
What does it mean for democracies when dissent becomes impossible? In this moving talk, whistleblower Miles Taylor shares his very personal account of speaking truth to power, what it cost him, and his hope that others will continue to do the same.

An excellent episode that processes activities in Canada that most Canadians are not aware of.
A good reminder to take a break from the horrors emanating from the USA and to pay attention to issues with our own government.
Keep the episodes coming!
Cool opportunity to work at the intersections of climate/environmental history and history of medicine!

As William Stafford wrote, "Every war has two losers." Generally true. But not for military contractors, who alway$ make a killing.
"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."
NEW: If you missed the live show earlier today, an FBI 302 released days before Epstein's death reveals Trump and Epstein discussed blackmail. Plus, multiple 302s are still missing. You can watch it here for free. No paywalls: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-epstei...
Consider, on #IWD26, how women are not only more vulnerable to air pollution’s insidious effects due to innate anatomical, hormonal and immune system characteristics, but also face many compounding external burdens. Let's address these air inequalities.

Democrats are going to fund and support this war. Like every enabling and collaborative stunt they pull, this is yet another opportunity to recognize they aren’t an opposition party but a captured group that serves the interests of the same wealth and oligarchical classes as the Republicans.

I ran…..
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
?!?!?!
Very useful thread
NEW from me: India still one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage in Canada, @csiscanada tells me.
First time a security agency contradicts a senior government official who earlier this week said that activity from India is “not continuing”.

A fun episode that gets more fun as we go. @christopher.bsky.social is one of Canada’s best journalists covering natsec and shares his view on covering these issues. (Recorded before the Iran chaos, but provides some great background.)
I hate the conversation about “productivity” because no one ever explains what it actually means or what they are talking about.
This is a fantastic explainer.
Good. Will be a formidable challenge for an inquest to deliver findings and recommendations on such a complex of huge issues: mental health, public safety, firearm oversight, and tech company/law enforcement information-sharing.
Headlines moved on quickly from the schoolgirls in Minab. We don’t know their names; no media profiles about their lives and aspirations. No smiling photos attached to quotes from mourning families.
How unfair that some dead are memorialised while others are relegated to ‘estimated casualties.’
by the way, striking iran without congressional (and/or UN, although they're basically irrelevant) authorization is an impeachable offense.
Could is not Would ... For the Iranian, this is a two-front war: one external, the other an internal struggle over who will succeed Khamenei.

Carney declared the results based international order hypocritical and probably dead at Davos. We are seeing the consequences of what a world without rules looks like.
"The Insider and Novaya Gazeta Europe studied the structure and content of the German-language Telegram ecosystem and found that these channels are part of a single, well-organized disinformation network controlled from the Kremlin and linked to Russian intelligence agencies."
Foreign interference from India, including transnational repression, has been going on in Canada since the 1980s. It did not stop last week. You can agree that stabilization of relations is important with India is important, while not believing this BS. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
