This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.
Two weeks after news broke that ABC Coun. Lenny Zhou used Chinese-language social media to accuse unnamed fellow councillors of dispensing illegal drugs, COPE Coun. Sean Orr has filed a civil suit against the accusationβs source β Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. #vanpoli
βI said, βMan to man, politics aside, why would you do this, other than to hurt me?β And he just kind of repeated, βIβm sorry, Iβm sorry, Iβm sorry. Look, Sean, Iβm sorry.ββ #vanpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...
I'm glad Councillor @seanorr.bsky.social is suing Mayor Ken Sim for defamation. It's the right move.
I donated to Sean's GoFundMe to help cover legal costs. Please consider donating if you have anything to spare. Lying in politics should face consequences

these are some of the stupidest people on Earth.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
If you are wondering why we are laser-focused on US crimes or illegal acts, it's not that we hate the US; it is so everyone can see the consequences of a bad government and react to it, so it can be resolved. If our allies and networks consisted of North Koreans, we'd talk daily about that regime.
Here's the Pew Research report.
I believe much of this is driven by the current wave of disinformation and hate/rage posts on social media combined with the highly partisan bipolar politics and falsehoods led by MAGA/Trump.

Pew Research/Global News: "While just 47 per cent of American adults surveyed said Americans overall are morally good β the lowest score of any country β 92 per cent of Canadians had a positive moral view of other Canadians, tying with Indonesia at the top of the list."
These articles are both informative and frightening, but to understand whatβs going on in this new, unjust war against Iran, a must-read!
Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.
they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the βnarco-terroristβ boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
I have not read anything by anyone who has worked harder, uncovered more and written more comprehensibly about the plans and personal, political and financial connections, that span generations of the these corrupt monsters than Ms. Kendzior.
Read this and then buy her books.

The Israeli public broadcaster confirms that the nuclear talks with Iran were all a ruse. Trump and Netanyahu has decided on this war weeks ago. www.kan.org.il/content/kan-...
Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
Todayβs military strikes on Iran β carried out by the United States and Israel β mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
Critical that American taxpayers be willing to protect our vital national stockpile of women willing to date Kash Patel
Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at CollΓ¨ge du LΓ©man in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. βThere are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts,β she recently wrote. As a child, she sought work as an actor in Los Angeles, where a high point was appearing in small parts in two episodes of the sitcom βModern Family.β
Patel's girlfriend is a combo of multiple different types in MAGAworld:
*the failed entertainer looking for an audience
*the person from an elite background cosplaying as a heartland populist
*an aspiring online celeb who is using government security and transport to pretend to be a VIP
The war with Iran has started; Israel fired the first shot and has now declared a state of emergency while it braces it self for a return fire. The US is also expected to join the war if it hasnβt already.

Trump shouts out Rep. Tony Gonzales and says, βcongratulationsβ
Sim, Zhou and ABC can apologize and backtrack all they want, but they told us *exactly* how they feel in those videos, and their other public comments. Zero compassion, fear mongering, which leads to (yet again) nothing being done. Then blame "activists".
