The escalation in hostilities across the Middle East and North Africa region following the US and Israel attacks on Iran, and Iran’s retaliation, is putting civilians at grave risk. Amnesty urges all parties to abide by international humanitarian and human rights law. Civilians must be protected.

i thought sex offenders weren’t supposed to live in government housing

Israeli authorities have unleashed a series of unlawful measures such as land registration, that are deliberately designed to dispossess Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem, and to make the annexation of the territory an irreversible reality 🍉 #Palestine #EndIsraelApartheid

They were real cowards about it

This. doco had the opportunity to label things correctly, push Tyra and the rest of the producers to face how shameful this whole thing was, and instead it’s the same damn playbook. gross. #JusticeForShandi #ANTM

holy shit i just finished episode 1 and they...cliffhanger-baited shandi's onscreen rape???????? this production is just as evil as the original antm

it is craaaay-zeeee to me that Tyra wants to reboot ANTM when *her fucking camera crew FILMED A RAPE AND TELEVISED THE REACTION AND EDITED IT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SHE CHEATED ON HER BOYFRIEND* like there is NO COMING BACK FROM THAT

I am also mad at this doc for not saying ‘that is rape.’ I hope that woman sues.

God the ANTM documentary is so dismissive. " Yeah so that man sexually assaulted me " " It was the 2000s! We didnt know!" IDK man I think we knew what rape and EDs were in the 2000s

Jfc. ANTM did film a rape and gaslight her

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board earned a D on Shift Action’s latest climate report card, in part due to its major US investments in fossil fuels and fossil fuel-powered AI expansion, putting Canadians’ pensions—and the environment—at severe risk. https://ow.ly/b0ym50Yj7zM

Take action now to stop Bill C-12, which would put our friends and neighbours at risk.  Join us in calling on the Senate to uphold our values of fairness and justice by voting against Bill C-12. takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/173197/...

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

"Dammit, I have to put off the next CaFae arc I've been DYING to create b/c stupid ICE is in my stupid city and I wrote characters that would confront them! Argh!" *halfway through outlining February's videos centered on fighting ICE* "...wait, I can get a really cool arc out of this."

Shared my thoughts on Canada's AI strategy for this new piece in @thewalrus.ca The tendency to frame AI as inevitable & autonomous "obscures what we’re really talking about, which is people—in business, in government, in civil society—and the decisions they make." thewalrus.ca/evan-solomon...

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

"Victims must be heard, acknowledged, and granted effective remedy, including reparations. Without such concrete steps to ensure truth and justice there can be no lasting peace.”

Souvankham Thammavongsa is a woman wholly uninterested in shrinking. The Walrus associate editor Ariella Garmaise sits down with the two-time Giller Prize winner to talk about ambition, self-possession, and why she refuses to perform humility for anyone: thewalrus.ca/souvankham-thamm...
