For more details on why Bill C-2 must be stopped, our ongoing work & how to support us: iclmg.ca/help-protect...

Canada must take immediate action to stop the flow of all direct or indirect arms and arms components to Israel and work to end the violation and dispossession in the West Bank. Send a letter to PM Carney and stand up for Palestinians' right to exist. act.oxfam.ca/page/171122/...

A great day for Brazil 🇧🇷🎉

Today marks the 24th anniversary of the attacks of 9/11. We remember the thousands killed that day, but also the millions killed during the decades-long “War on Terror” & its ongoing legacy of human rights attrocities around the world. iclmg.ca/remembering-...

Mark Carney continuing a long Canadian tradition: shirking on climate targets. It’s shameful how he’s using the threats from the US to tear climate policy to shreds in front of our eyes.

It's impossible to think that we won't keep seeing a growing number of these devastating cases, especially if the Safe Third Country Agreement remains in place & the government succeeds in implementing new refugee claim restrictions in their proposed Bill C-2 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Canada has been sharing intel with the US on traffickers in the Caribbean since 1993. Enhanced intel-sharing has been underway since 2024. If the Avoiding Complicity in Mistreatment by Foreign Entities Act means anything, all sharing that might lead to extrajudicial killings must now cease.

There are so many sweeping counter-terrorism powers in Britain that if Home Secretary Yvette Cooper suddenly announced she was adding Irish novelist Sally Rooney to the terrorist financial sanctions list, it would be entirely in character and no longer a surprise www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08...

cyberlibertarian narratives are deeply entrenched, were explicitly designed in the 90s/00s to benefit tech companies, and have the added benefit of aligning with recent right-wing free speech bullshit. a lot of that context is obscured today. we need to keep that US influence out of our countries.

Palestine Action prosecutions should indeed be suspended pending the legal challenge to the ban. Or – hear us out – pointless "terrorism" arrests, that are little more than a show of strength and nothing to do with keeping anyone safe, should be suspended www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Of all the LLMs I've tested, Llama, the model behind Meta's AI, is the most systematically biased against trans people. Grok, Gemini, and ChatGPT all perform somewhat similarly when it comes to discussing gender affirming care for trans youth. Llama sticks out for including antitrans pseudoscience.

Honoured and excited to be moderating this upcoming webinar on the serious threats posed by the so-called "Strong Borders Act", and how we can collectively work to beat it and defend privacy, migrant, refugee and human rights. If this bill passes, we will all be less safe! Click below to register.

On Thursday, the Metropolitan Police'a Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit contacted Zoom and requested it pull the plug on an online briefing meeting for today's mass noncompliance with the ban of Palestine Action taking place in Parliament Square www.middleeasteye.net/news/over-50...

After seeing Mark Carney fold on the digital services tax, AI regulation, and the Online Harms Act, US Republicans are turning their sights to the Online Streaming Bill that makes streaming companies promote and fund Canadian content.

The banning of Palestine Action is an outrageous attack on free speech and protest, and demonstrates the incredible danger when governments are allowed to recklessly expand the definition of "terrorism". Solidarity with everyone who took to the streets in London! www.thestar.com/news/world/e...

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

The final installment of @wired.com's How to Win a Fight package is also my favorite. It's a zine we made full of tips: How to protest safely and protect yourself from gov surveillance, how to out-troll trolls. Make one for yourself, make some for friends. www.wired.com/story/downlo...

Mark Carney invited Saudi Arabia to participate in the G7 in Canada. He can’t talk about defending human rights and democratic values while cozying up to the House of Saud.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

More info coming in: "The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that its civilian ship, Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236° N, 32.38880° E."

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Turns out "elbows up" means an incredible expansion of anti-migrant, policing, and surveillance powers under the guise of 'border security'. This is a must-read 🧵:
