Dr. Mark Brauner, who volunteered in Gaza during the genocide, calls out the senators from his home state of Oregon. He describes Ron Wyden as “an absolute joke of a legislator,” noting he continues to accept donations from AIPAC and acting as “an absolute sycophant for Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Chantal Hébert warns Federal Liberals of what Mark Carney’s actions have cost them this week. #cdnpoli ‼️

"People who don't vote should have no say in the political process." Um, OK ... people who don't have a uterus should shut the fuck up about womens' reproductive rights. Is that about right?

Canada is complicit in Israel’s genocide in Palestine, and always has been as a settler colonial state. Senator Yuen Pao Woo has tabled a motion on Canada’s risk of complicity in the Gaza genocide. Tell Senators to support it: buff.ly/ppQ0vCf nb: there are 6 different letters in this action

A reminder the day after Donald Trump fired James Comey, Trump hosted the Russian Foreign Minister and the Russian Ambassador in the Oval Office and laughed about it.

He's going to immediately be flooded with right wing donations and job offers. Good job on finding this Nazi jamoke a solid entryway into the rightwing grift. What is the point of doing theses debates? I find them insufferable. Stop platforming Nazis. Stop publishing on apps that platform Nazis.

I'm feeling sad about the big UGLY bill passing. Not just about how it affects me, but millions others & people like you & your loved ones. I gave it my best shot on June 26 in DC & pushed myself beyond my capabilities & physically paid a price for it BUT I would do it all over again. NEVER GIVE UP!

This must end now! Everyone needs to hit the streets and fight back ✊ It’s only going to get worse 🤬

First votes of the day underway in the House. This is an attendance test - weather in DC cancelled a lot of flights, many members haven't been able to get back to town. Johnson admits they don't have the votes for the rule on the MAGA murder budget yet. Fox reporting at least 12 GOP nos right now.

A Los Angeles man has been arrested in Huntington Park on June 27 after impersonating a federal agent. He was in possession of a loaded firearm, law enforcement-style documents and other police paraphernalia. His car, which looked like a government vehicle was impounded!

Raw Story: According to Trump the leader of Iran has failed to thank him for putting a damper on a growing war after the U.S. bombed his country. Does fuck you very much count as an apology? #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIranWar US Strikes Iran

Iran has not build nuclear weapons despite Netanyahu saying it’s on the verge for decades, and it agreed to and abided by the JCPOA. Carney says Iran wants to wipe out Israel; rhetoric in response to the fact Israel is literally trying to wipe out the Palestinian people (as the West stands by).

Mark Carney was asked whether the US strikes on Iran were a violation of international law. In response, he ignored the substance of the question and listed off a bunch of grievances the West has with Iran. It’s a shameful and cowardly response from someone who claims to defend international law.

It’s hard to pick the worst leader in the world today because we’re spoiled for choice, but Netanyahu, Trump, Modi, Milei, Orban, bin Salman, and Putin lead the pack. We’re at a dangerous time in history, which is why leaders like Carney and Starmer should be careful not to align with fascists.

The only thing I can say about Keir Starmer is thank God he wasn't PM back in May 1940. He will go along dutifully with whatever Trump claims. Canadians would be fools to think this punter would have our back in a showdown with Trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This is true, about "oppositions" I've seen and lived through: - Civil rights movement 1960s - VN war, late 60s + early 70s - Iraq war, 2002 - Econ/environ injustice, passim. - Now, Trump autocracy, most recently Iran war. Stand up. If people pretend they were "always" w you, sign you've won.

Donald didn't have an opportunity to ask Congress for permission to bomb Iran because he was stuck on hold for so long when he called the Kremlin to ask Vladimir Putin for permission to bomb Iran.

It would seem Vance is telling the truth, because apparently no GBU-57s were dropped on the facility Iran uses to store its U-235: www.cnn.com/2025/06/22/p...

Reposting as Sagan is so prescient from 30 years ago.

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

Israeli troll farms are out in force attempting to justify Trump’s illegal actions in Iran. This is a foreign entity in control of the US armed forces. Unsurprisingly not the only one.

Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon.

It’s journalistic malpractice not to remind America that Trump also brought us to the brink of catastrophe with Iran in 2020 by assassinating—in a plot he drafted with Netanyahu—the second-most popular Iranian as he was on his way to a PEACE SUMMIT Trump’s Saudi business associates had lured him to.

“Now is the time for peace” is a helluva thing to say after bombing a country.

I wonder how many people realize that America is now literally at war *solely* because Trump hates black people Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal; Iran stopped enrichment; Trump ended the Deal to spite Obama; he was told enrichment would restart; it did This is *Trump’s* war

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Trump said, "No more immigration raids in fields or at hotels/resorts" Miller said, "AYFKM?" Trump said, "Just kidding Stephen." Who is running the show? Miller or Trump?

#NoKings #NoDictators I was SO joyful at the tremendous turnout against Trump & his fascism. I laughed hysterically at the pathetic parade that villainous Donnie threw for himself… Then I saw this very sobering picture and it absolutely rocked me.

Here are a few more shots from the AMAZING #NoKings protest in Chapel Hill, NC (more to come). 📌 I'd like to make a video compilation of the pro-decency folks who showed up to joyously protest & exercise their rights across North Carolina. Please comment with your best still photo and city/town!

Images from Fallujah, circa 2005. 🧵 So about twenty years ago, I was on a plane from Japan to the USA. I was travelling alone in coach, and I found myself seated next to a young Iraq veteran in a military outfit. I don’t recall his name, but I am bad with names so that doesn't surprise me. 1/21

I served in Iraq. I know the terrible price we pay when politicians drag us into a war in the Middle East. Too many chickenhawk Senators - who never served - are salivating for another war. No. No war. Not for America, not this time.

Canadian feminist royalty among the hundreds who showed up today to protest against the genocide in Gaza. Kudos to Michele Landsberg for rallying everyone. #GazaGenocide #WomenInBlack

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

But really, how many are actually American citizens and not immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers? They're desperate enough to resist. So I gotta wonder. This is truly terrifying. Love, A Canadian
