basically the whole EU, 29 states are about to start implementation of face and fingerprint biometrics for entry/exit for non-EU citizens … within the next week - completely doing away with passport stamps. really truly entering a dystopian era

they're close globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

Remarkable document: hundreds of European politicians are calling to mobilize European resources to protect the Sumud aid flotilla as it faces escalating attacks on its way to Gaza. In other words: European politicians are trying to protect humanitarian volunteers *from Israel.*

On the priority BDS list anyway so I mean

liberals side with fascism is history 101 lol - they’d rather enable or deny or pretend to underestimate the slants of people they otherwise agree with instead of ceding power to workers, “socialists” and people that may threaten property rights and interests of the wealthy

argument urbanists are making is that parking should be more expensive so that only house owners can afford it as a solution to prevent apartment dwellers that are already spending heavily on housing in comparison lol, I think parking is subsidized but maybe it should cost more for low density only?

Bernie Sanders finally uses the word genocide to describe Israels assault on the Palestinian people. It's taken enormous pressure to get him there. The use of the word matters.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide. I hope you’ll take a moment to read my op-ed here:

honestly pretty funny that genocide defenders went after film workers for signing a letter saying they’d boycott israeli film institutions, only for the israeli government itself to start defunding them because they dared to choose a film that criticizes its genocidal campaign on gaza

government's narrative collapses under the weight of... discord archives? As far as friends were aware, Robinson was largely apolitical, not extreme, likable, quiet but not a loner, enjoyed camping, gaming and guns - Ken Klippenstein is a great reporter

Israel has killed over 200,000 people in Gaza. This is from the former Chief of the General Staff, Herzi Halevi, who only stepped down as the highest-ranking member of the IDF in ~ March 2025.

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

HAHAHAHA UHHHH WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK??????

Reminder: Canadian corporate profits remain at record highs compared to pre-pandemic levels - banks, telecoms, grocers, transport, extraction giants, you name it. By 2022, corporate profits had surged 47%. These margins remain obscene; now, austerity tightens the public belts

They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens

The number of people killed in the Israeli strikes on Gaza's Nasser hospital rose to at least 20, including five journalists who worked for Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and others reut.rs/4fYrDVY

"Elbows up", "Canada Strong", they yell as they immediately throw workers and union leaders in jail lol

Serious question for policy nerds why does this skip East Harbour / Gerrard and a few other Ontario line stops but includes Leslieville alone on the east side? (lol they’re gunna freak) - also Davisvilles radius is like the worst kind of gerrymandering you’ve ever seen lol

Canada's "paper of record," The Globe, is arguing, from its editorial board, that the mass slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza is bad not because of Palestinians' inherent humanity but because it makes Israel look bad. A perception issue. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Predicated on a number of asterisk - namely, demilitarization and elections (how can Gaza hold elections, even in a year from now with the majority of the population displaced?) also no recognition of Canadas continued weapon shipments to Israel, can’t believed journalists didn’t ask about this.

Canada has consistently been making shipments to Israel that fall under a taxcode of "Bombs, torpedoes, rockets, missiles, other explosive devices and charges and related equipment and accessories." - as recently as last week

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

France borders the Mediterranean Sea. How about sending in food and aid directly, today, now, - human support to secure Gaza - doctors, and necessary infrastructure for life.

"emergency call... tomorrow... to discuss..." Starmer and every other major power, the EU, the US, including Trudeau, now Carney - Canada - is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people

Canada had an opportunity to vote for for Palestinian statehood at the U.N. General Assembly on May 10th, 2024, and chose to abstain, citing the fact that Israel/Netanyahu government rejects a two-state solution so hey, of course they just yield to agree with them. www.canada.ca/en/global-af...

Billions of dollars will be spent to reconstruct the Gardiner East which will save a few thousand vehicles three minutes lol, but a bus lane... nah... thats too much

The fed gov cuts to pay for military and wealthy tax cuts have rapidly expanded. My new analysis shows that most of the cuts will now be on transfers to other govs, non-profits and people. A stunning 1 in 5 dollars is just cuts to FN govs for basic social programs. @policyalternatives.ca 🧵👇👇

the work that paris has done to make their city more comfortable, beautiful and functional (100s of kms of cycle network, transit) in just a few years makes toronto look like they haven't done a thing

Good news: the largest state in the country, which is all on its own the 4th largest economy in the world (having recently overtaken Japan), now gets the largest amount of its electricity from solar, and that trend is set to continue.

Same day headline: 91 year old man facing eviction [with no where to go] -- maybe just maybe it could have something to do with the capitalist hellhole with a strong whiff of feudalistic tendencies we've created

outside of rescinding the tax itself this has to be the goofiest language to announce this, tf this even mean www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

Canada was poised to collect billions from tech giants in the coming days and has just capitulated to Trump instead, it’s bad. Real bad

A 49 year old Canadian has died while in ICE custody.

If a socialist can wrest power from the servants of oligarchy in the financial capital of the world—well, my friends around this country, around this world, what can you do to take the power back from them where you live?

here’s what the onion’s full page spot is running next to this morning

lol the entire article is about their financial policy and how they fund it, service loans and enact policies to consistently build and refurb housing, while ensuring things stay affordable but we can’t learn from it because the Nazi’s annexed Austria during WWII and we should blame immigration

this makes no one safer. no one. we have descended into an era of unprecedented violence. empirical -physical, social, cultural, economic, ecological violence
