Re the Hormuz, not saying I'm an expert on the sitch, but are we really too proud to try historically vetted measures like sacrificing a high ranking member of the royal family to propitiate the sea god
trump saw how much you guys loved Big Boat Stuck and tried to join in by doing All Boats Stuck and now suddenly its not funny anymore? make up your minds
Some First Nations are challenging Carney’s resource-extraction plans to strengthen Canadian economy from US threats.
Give it up for day three! Maybe Mamdani's appointee to his new Office of LGBTQ Affairs can do something about it.
I said it in like 2005 and I'll say it again: Islamophobia is a kind of racism because bigots don't know anything about anything
But he doesn't feel their pain. He didn't feel the pain when he was Governor of the BoE, and the government he served enacted the most drastic austerity programs in the world, gutted the social net, increased inequality and poverty to such an extent that UK children are literally smaller.
The most immediately notable part of the verdict is that people were convicted material support for terrorism for believing in antifascism and going to a noise demo where people lit off consumer grade fireworks.
We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results.
This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.
Also, people need to understand how ridiculous they are when they reference "the economy." It's superstition. Substitute "the economy" with "the magic."
Eg, Carney can speak credibly about the magic. The head magician understands the magic and commands the magic. We must trust his magical wisdom.
When I told a dr here in Oxford that I didn’t want another section- I wanted a vbac, despite the baby descending sideways, she said “okay let’s do it” and then pulled off a complicated internal repositioning of baby and then I had my VBAC.
the USA kills mothers, especially Black women.

Pleased as punch to announce that I have another comedy piece in the @thestar.com today, wherein I defend my beloved Doug Ford and all of his amazing ideas. I hope someone sends it to him at the cottage.💙

“The mercenary David Mcintosh, who served with a U.S. aid company, released more footage showing Israeli snipers and machine gunners firing on starving civilians waiting for food for hours. During the famine, +2,000 Palestinians were killed trying to reach aid sites.”
The "forbidden" part always gets me. These are bog standard views among the well-off and coddled. They ain't shy about their bigotry and even the more liberal are pretty indulgent of it.
Like you'll hear the same rancid shit from drunk realtors at city council open comments. Y'all ain't special.
I'm so sick of this "We need the wise capitalist to guide us through the hellscape that capitalism created" thinking.
I spent time last week talking to the family & community of Mr. Shah Alam, a disabled Rohingya refugee dropped off by ICE alone on a cold Buffalo night, left to die, even as his family and community searched for him. It seems it may have happened again: www.wtae.com/article/sist...
The Prairieland verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism.
This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress all forms of resistance.
It must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them.
Fighting is our only hope.
"The Voice of Hind Rajab," nominated for best international film at this year's Oscars, uses the real audio of 6-year-old Hind Rajab as she begged rescuers for help following an attack by Israeli soldiers in Gaza.
"When you hear her voice, you can't unhear it," says director Kaouther Ben Hania.
#Canada has an opportunity to land on the right side of history, but it won't because of its devotion to the US-backed far-right genocidal apartheid state.
In 1931, Albert Einstein and W.E.B. DuBois wrote to each other in German; DuBois asked Einstein to write an article for THE CRISIS.
DuBois translated it and wrote as intro:
"He is a brilliant advocate of disarmament and world Peace and he hates race prejudice because as a Jew he knows what it is."
In fact, the Liberal Conservatives and Conservative Conservatives just voted down an NDP bill that would have closed loopholes on Canada arming the genocide.

(ps: Remind me why a minority with NDP holding balance of power is no better than what we have now?)
Canada's attempt at a patriot act is coming back tomorrow, and you know they are gonna use Tumbler Ridge as the excuse for "lawful access". Don't fall for it, it's about counter-insurgency, not "making kids safe again"

300 teachers declared surplus in Peel is WILD. 😭 Calandra and Ford need to be stopped.
If you've been wondering why Jenny Kwan's PMB was so important, I explain a bit about why Canada's arms exports to the US are shrouded with secrecy --

A bunch of white men conspired, in writing, to keep me off the network, basically to silence my advocacy for women and other marginalized group. The fact it's a bunch of white men bullying a black woman out of journalism is not lost on me
In a sign of the bad state of relations between Spain and Israel, Madrid has permanently withdrawn its ambassador to Tel Aviv.
Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC X.com The American Embassy is being evacuated in Riyadh because of sustained attacks by Iran against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is my understanding the Kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed 7 Americans. Question - why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest? Americans are dying and the U.S. is spending billions to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime that threatens the region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful, but unwilling to participate in military operations to end the reign of terror coming out of Iran. Hopefully Gulf Cooperation Council countries will get more involved as this fiøht is in their backvard. If vou are not willine to
I urge more senior US officials to publicly dress down the allies they dragged into a war all of them hate, that’s getting them bombed. Really grind it home: their security is dependent on the whims of a bunch of clueless, pissy old men who don’t give a damn if they get the entire region melted.
a minimum of 25% of democrats have absolute shit for brains
if unions didn't work, capital wouldn't spend untold billions keeping them out of the shop.
