The death rate among children under 5 is expected to grow this year for the first time in the 21st century, researchers say. A key factor, they say, is cuts to U.S. and other foreign aid www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Musk causing thousands of deaths by cutting USAID funding is not discussed enough

There's no diplomatic solution to the Ru-Ukraine war; there's never been one and there never will be. Ru wants to take over Ukraine and won't back off until its capacity to continue dwindles, either because the Ru economy or the Pu regime face collapse. Diplomacy plays no role in these processes.

Pope Leo XIV: "We cannot forget our brothers and sisters who suffer because of war. In Gaza, the surviving children, families, and the elderly are reduced to starvation."

🚨This is who wants Poilievre to win. Elon Musk. Alex Jones. Jordan Peterson. The loudest voices in the MAGA universe. 📣They’ve endorsed Poilievre because they see a chance to bring their chaos to Canada—defund public media, spread disinformation, and divide the country. #SaveTheCBC #StopPoilievre

The world stands with Ukraine. We reject Russia and its Trump regime puppet government in D.C.

During Erdogan's speech, a textile worker who opened a placard that read: "AKP is cause, inflation is effect" is arrested.

Another example of how Hinkle’s pro-Palestine views are performative/self-serving. His politics are fundamentally pro-authoritarian. He admires Trump for his despotic rhetoric the same way he admired Assad for similar rhetoric used to justify the bombing of the Palestinian Yarmouk refugee camp.

Polls don’t win elections. TURNOUT wins elections. Vote early on 1 of 4 advanced voting days. Bring friends and family. Don’t assume anything or take anything for granted. The consequences of getting this wrong are way too high for Canada. Just ask the United States. #VoteCarney #CanadaStrong

28e jour d’incendie en Turquie. Encore beaucoup de choses à partager et si peu de temps! Voici au moins ce défilé organisé par les étudiants des Beaux-arts d’Istanbul avec les principaux acteurs des manifestations. Un moment de défoulement joyeux. Le rire fait partie de la lutte.

We need to stop referring to Trump's thuggish yes-men as an "administration." They're a regime. Administrations uphold laws. Regimes disappear dissenters, punish truth, and reward group think that upholds the despots reality.

If you protest this they'll deport you

Arrest warant against Iran's Supreme Leader for crime against humanity. Great news! The Abdorrahman Boroumand Center has published a legal analysis of this terrorist bombing in Argentina. www.iranrights.org/newsletter/i...

A huge number of Turkish accounts are now migrating to BlueSky from X due to Elon Musk’s cooperation with the Turkish regime in silencing dissent.

Trump Derangement Syndrome was just a term used to gaslight people with common sense. Opposing Trump is as rational as it gets

Trump has imposed tariffs on Heard and McDonald Islands inhabited exclusively by penguins.

It’s always amusing when someone who has claimed that the French justice system is too lenient complains about her sentence being too harsh, especially when everyone knows she is guilty. Le Pen is a massive hypocrite, like all her friends on the far right!

Here's a video of former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper praising Mark Carney, for a “tremendous job” he did for Canada. All of a sudden, conservatives are acting like none of this happened and that Carney is the ultimate evil for Canada. Their inconsistency is mind-boggling!

Le maccarthysme est de retour dans les universités américaines.

For 120 days straight, Georgians have been protesting daily in ~10 cities across the country. We won’t stop until the Georgian Dream regime collapses — but we need your help. Sanction GD leaders & their families. Show strong support for the Georgian people. #GeorgiaProtests

Interested in learning more on Turkey, democratic sliding and authoritarianism? Journal of Democracy articles by prominent scholars on Turkish politics are now open access. You might also learn about what is going on in the U.S. and potentially what to expect.

Mind-blowing scenes of protest from Turkey: given the authorities’ excessive use of tear gas against protesters, one Turkish protester is seen dressed up as Pikachu. Quite a tragi-comic creativity 😂😂😂 youtu.be/0EOYNPFaxD0?...

As the political crisis deepen in Turkey, Turkish people have started to put their money where their mouth is. After all, the Erdogan regime survives thanks to an intricate network of corporate alliances. There are calls for massive boycott of the following companies

Concernant la crise politique actuelle en turquie, voici une entrevue que jai donnée à @lapresse.ca lp.ca/tE0Lpk?shari...

Electrifying scenes from nationwide protests against the Erdogan regime. Meanwhile on pro-gov channels talking heads trying to normalize and rationalize Erdogan’s auto-golpe as a corruption probe 🤢

When Erdoğan arrested the opposition mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, from trumped up charges, he had expected the public to be indifferent. But the contrary happened. Millions of people have been pouring into to the streets and protests continue.

As Erdoğan decided to arrest Imamoğlu, he probably hadn’t expected millions in Turkey to take to the streets to protest. Protests have been raging almost all over the country and it remains to be seen whether he’ll be able to contain public anger.

As opposition protests rage all over Turkey against Erdogan’s arrest of the secular opposition politician, Elon Musk supports Erdogan. He has suspended opposition accounts. One more reason to be alarmed

A favourite trope of the anti-Ukrainian left is "democratically elected president Yanukovych was deposed". The accurate picture is that Yanukovych's own party abandoned him after 3 yrs of democratic backsliding and 3mo of escalating police violence and he fled. I wonder how they feel about...

👇🏼Interesting perspective from @fredericmerand.bsky.social (@sciencepo-UdeM.bsky.social) on the various options for bringing 🇨🇦 and the 🇪🇺 closer together. #Canada to be #EU’s #28thmember ? #polcan policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ma...

Many on the far right support Putin as an ideological ally in their culture war. They admire his authoritarian model & want the US to adopt similar anti-democratic values. To them Putin is punishment for those they blame for the West’s decay, namely anyone who isn’t a white male

He can be credited for destroying the economy in such a short stretch of time

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump's Ukraine policy right now: let's make Ukraine surrender to russia while also giving us some resources. And let's get rid of Zelensky because my friend Putin doesn't like him and also because he didn't submit to me like all the Republicans did a long time ago.

Tesla is suspected to have frauded the rebate system in Canada. It is currently under investigation by Transport Canada

Le Canada à l’heure de l’agression trumpiste. Our new episode with the inimitable @danielbeland.bsky.social

Pour Trump, les politiques EDI visant à corriger la discrimination sont des mesures dangereuses, à jeter dans la fosse aux «woke ». Une fosse gigantesque où les droits fondamentaux et la lutte inachevée pour l’égalité sont ensevelis sous une masse de désinformation grotesque qui ne nous épargne pas.

Le Projet structurant de l’Est va de l’avant ! ✅🎉 Dans mon discours de début d’année, j’affirmais que ma priorité serait de débloquer le dossier du Projet structurant de l’Est. Cette semaine, j’ai le grand plaisir de confirmer que le dossier est débloqué : le projet est sur les rails!

So Trump is now talking about some tariff relief! Either the Canadian response scared him or this has been his negotiating tactic

“…this confrontation was inevitable given that Trump has essentially embraced Putin’s vision of the conflict, telling Zelensky that he had to take an unfavorable deal because the Ukrainian leader had “no cards.” apple.news/AsXrXbZ18SKq...

Zelensky displayed superior emotional intelligence on Fox News after the debacle today. He continued advocating for his country's security and defence. His empathetic, calm, self-aware reactions to what was an utterly unfair attack/vile condescension need to go into textbooks.
