Alright, I hate that I have to do this but I am (barely) returning here. After making an honest go at Bluesky for five months, the unfortunate truth is that Twitter is still THE place for news. I'm not redownloading the app and I will focus on posting my articles but I'm here.
President Biden: "I call on everyone, no matter how deeply they care about this decision, to keep all protests peaceful. Peaceful, peaceful, peaceful. No intimidation. Violence is never acceptable. Threats and intimidation are not speech."
Criminals who write antisemitic garbage like โIsraelis the new Nazisโ, as shown here in EgLaw today, deserve to be prosecuted and go to jail. Theyโre cowards who stoke hatred towards the Jewish community, and then hide in the shadows. But they must be found and held accountable.
A landlord barricaded himself in the house of his tenants and killed them.
You'll notice the exonerative "police shooting" voice is being used for him in this piece.
"They confirmed aliens and no one cares"
Sir the earth is dying, housing is 8 billion dollars, healthcare is nonexistant and the only foreseeable change from the status quo is straight-up fascism. God herself could descend from the Heavens into my bedroom and I wouldn't care
Islamophobia is so normalized that no politician gives a shit that a hate truck in Toronto is telling Canadians they're under siege by Muslims because there's footage of people praying peacefully.
So, to be clear, anti-trans activists punched a sitting member of the Ontario government in the face, and the Ottawa police have only arrested the counterprotestors who showed up to repel them.
My statement cautioning
@UWindsor
that they could face charges if they proceed with agreeing to demands to divest from the State of Israel financially and academically.
*forest fires burning three provinces worth of land*
*hurricane going to hit California*
*massive flooding
*devastating drought conditions affecting livestock and crops*
*flooding killing Nova Scotians*
Our government: If we don't give oil execs handjobs our society will implode
This is abhorrent. Striking a childrenโs hospital โ and the innocent children inside โ cannot be justified.
My heart goes out to the families who are grieving โ and Canadaโs commitment to Ukraine remains as strong as ever.
@LolOverruled
itโs so weird seeing how everyone in the us hates landlords. here in ๐จ๐ฆ the landlords are very nice and helpful and almost all of them that iโve rented from have been like a second family to me. i struggle to understand the landlord hate but maybe itโs just an american thing
What was the point of busting our as*es getting Democrats elected if they canโt do a simple thing like protect voting rights?
Biden should call for the Senate to delay its August 6th recess until enough votes can be mustered for the For the People Act.
People will post "Proud to be Canadian" about the Rittenhouse case while RCMP officers with stocks in Coastal Gas Link defy the UN, block communications, harass journalists and stick assault rifles in unarmed Indigenous protestors' faces days after a catastrophic climate disaster
@babadookspinoza
I never had a contractor wear a harness, steel-toes and a hard hat while working on my renovations. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. They keep leaving warning signs everywhere. This is not what I had in mind.
In case it wasn't clear by Joly's statements on the killing of a Canadian citizen: yes, Israel could kill you and our government wouldn't stop sending them military equipment and financial aid. Yes. You specifically.
The increasingly violent police response to peaceful demonstrations is deeply concerning and indicative of the fragility our state has in facing sustained critique.
It's actually wild how much mainstream media wants to make me care about the richest companies in Canada losing miniscule amounts of money while people are going hungry
A report just dropped today that the Canadian government willingly met with neo-nazis and the only panic from within was that people would learn about it and no news media is going to take and run with it

When a Soviet diplomat discussed the Sino-Soviet split with Che Guevara, he didn't listen to his answer because he fell in love with him as he was talking.
@OmarAlghabra
So what we're all getting from this is that Canada's holding innocent civilians hostage because the acts of their government? Is that right? That's a move you've chosen? Seriously?
Hamilton police say an engaged couple embroiled in a landlord-tenant dispute were shot dead as they fled their attacker on Saturday and โare truly innocent victims.โ
One year ago today Canadaโs parliament gave a standing ovation to Yaroslav Hunka for fighting with the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, whose members pledged allegiance to Adolf Hitler
34 years later, Quebec companies are dumping toxic waste in Kanesatake in flagrantly illegal moves and the government does nothing. Colonialism continues unabated.
Today is the 34th anniversary of the Oka Crisis of 1990. Something people today don't understand is it could have happened anywhere in Canada. Now settlers (white Canadians) are making the same mistakes that led to the Oka Crisis of 1990 in many places right across Canada.
๐งต This National Post article is the perfect example of manufacturing consent. It uses no everyday Canadians accessing health care as a source. Stuart Thomson is the editor-in-chief of The Hive, who's editor-at-large was an economic advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper 1/7
Canada is a fake country built on genocide and stolen land to extract wealth in service of capital. Any national identity pursued by the settler state rests on this reality. Everything Israel is doing rn was done to craft this settler-colony, so why would anyone be proud of this?
Not going to come down too hard on Malaka for this, but this article is indicative of the complete systemic denial of COVID's devastation. Suggesting saying you want to "do normal things" & that an immunocompromised person's life is "about avoiding COVID" is ghastly. He could die
Pro-Palestine protesters just disrupted Kamala's speech in Michigan.
Her response: "If you want Donald Trump to win say that. Otherwise, Iโm speaking.โ

Hi there. My partner does experiments with mice. If 65% of their mice population died from the experiment before they were sac'd they would never work in the industry ever again. Don't pretend its the same.
So this is pretty much racism, right? The NDP kicked her out then tepidly adopted her position months afterwards and now theyโre saying sheโs not coming back. What other possible reason could there be to deny her?
"It wonโt be herโ
NDP Leader Marit Stiles tells
@davidcommon
that Sarah Jama wonโt be allowed to run for the NDP in the next election and that the party will run an opposing candidate in Hamilton Centre.
#onpoli
Steadfastly refusing to report that these events violate international law, and Canada also views these settlements as illegal, is nothing short of propaganda.
@catestrophey
This is what individualizing systemic issues does to people's brains. Just projecting the patriarchy onto victims to make themselves feel superior. Truly disgusting and glad you pointed it out cause this is dangerous behaviour.
Countless pro-Palestine demos have had people climb scaffolding to fly Palestine flags. This happens at Bloor-Yonge, in front of the CBC, in Nathan Phillips Square and, yes, on University. You're selling millions in military equipment to the genocide. Focus on that.
The demonstration at Mount Sinai Hospital yesterday was reprehensible. Hospitals are places for treatment and care, not protests and intimidation.

I strongly condemn this display of antisemitism. In Toronto and across Canada, we stand with Jewish communities against this hate.
Our electoral left's entire platform is using government subsidies to pay these large corporations instead of state power to stop the predatory practices that create these crises in the first place.

This man took the Pfizer bivalent vaccine 1 year ago & has devolved into random spasms and swelling of the limbs. He now leads a support group for fellow vaccine survivors. Their resilience in the face of evil big pharma is inspiring ๐ซ๐
This is such a sick, twisted joke. The RCMP has been Canada's first line in enforcing colonization, and that includes sexual violence. Canada doesn't care about sexual violence, they care about supporting their settler-colonial geopolitical ally.
We have offered RCMP support in investigating these crimes and today I announced we will be providing $1M to organizations who are supporting survivors of sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th.
AOC attending the Met Gala in a custom "tax the rich" dress while BLM protestors are getting arrested outside shows exactly how unserious american leftists who think she and Bernie are the next generation are.
"What? Is she not supposed to go?"
No. Spit on the invitation
All you need to know about Brian Mulroney is he sent the military into Kanesatake to crush Indigenous people as they rightly pushed back settler land theft. Fuck him.
Jesse Brown is frantically tweeting about a former member of the IDF being dropped from a Vancouver comic event while the IDF is dropping bombs on children in tents in full view of the world.
This man doesn't give a shit about anyone but Zionists.
