Immigration is objectively good and it is, in fact, racist to be so screamingly fucked up about seeing people from other places near you. That's not healthy. Go touch grass.

I will categorically say that the answer to the question of "does X country have a right to commit genocide" is always no. That's not a thing you get to do, and if you're claiming that your right to exist is incompatible with not getting to commit genocide, you should try harder.

STOP CALLING IT A CEASEFIRE WHEN THERE CLEARLY HASN’T BEEN A CEASING OF FIRING! Reporters and media should be required to prove that they understand the meaning of words!

This is bigger than any premier or party. If a single elected official can unilaterally advance policies with adverse public safety impacts, we should be asking hard questions about the strength of our democracy & advocating like hell for evidence-based placemaking. #EvidenceBasedPlacemaking

It may still end up being the case that partition may happen, most American liberals are still temperamentally deferential to the "Jewish character" of Israel, but today what we have is a single apartheid regime which just committed a genocide. Saying "I don't like Netanyahu" doesn't cut it anymore.

This is beautifully edited and it made me tear up to think about the inner life of our pets and their ability to enjoy beauty, but it's also likely that she does this because she found a piece of chicken there five years ago

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

I can confirm that the word for what someone would say if they were trying and failing to remember the term “Mennonites” is “Mormons”

It's hard to overstate the extent, impact & influence William Janzen had on peace and justice issues in Canada & around the world. This absolute powerhouse through his work with MCC, presented as a Member of the Order of Canada today. Born and raised in Blumenheim SK, William now resides in Ottawa.

Instead of telling these crooked cops "to quit," they should be investigated, charged with criminal offences, fired, and banned from being police officers in any part of Canada.

They want women to solve their problem by recruiting them and then leaving them holding the bag when they are eventually harassed or assaulted

Yeah I started off by writing about in-house sexual assault towards women, so in my opinion he’s asking women to volunteer to be sexually assaulted and/or harassed without putting in place measures to protect those same women

There is no legitimate reason for random cops to have unfettered access to sensitive personal information like this Instead of publicly humiliating himself making videos telling officers to knock it off with criminally stalking women, Ottawa’s Police Chief could cut off access to these databases

Watching Ruby Sahota and Gary Anandasangaree slowly morph into Vic Toews has been a *trip*.

Shouldn’t be lost on anyone that the world’s richest man is stoking public health conspiracies after getting called out for gutting USAID—a move that killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Alberta's Automobile Insurance Rate Board said in its 2025 Market & Trends report that parts of Calgary may become uninsurable in the future due to climate change and increasingly frequent and costly hailstorms: 🔗: www.airbfordrivers.ca/wp-content/u...

Every elected official should be following suit. Workers who have to do their jobs in extreme heat will get sick and could even die. There have to be enforceable regulations in place to protect workers during this climate crisis.

Just lifted an elderly woman’s suitcase onto the rack after seeing her struggle. No problem, of course, but I certainly hope all the cis-dude-presenting folks here are feminists; if not it’s an inconsistent look to sit like a lump while a petite 40something femme person does the heavy lifting.

5/ Too many Christian’s want to take up a sword in defence of their faith, wounding and striking down others if we have to. Jesus only ever told us to take up a cross. And the only people who picked up crosses were on their way to die. Jesus never told us to make our nations “Christian”.

For #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay how about 🇨🇦 honour the treaties+uphold the rights that are already enshrined in law like free, prior & informed consent for major projects?

They sure liked getting the land via treaty but don’t like abiding by treaty rights, do they?

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

17 HCWs have died (7% of all the dead), at least 70 sick. HCWs need the right PPE to protect themselves from illness. "Even now, basic PPE remains in short supply, with some facilities struggling to secure gloves, masks and other essentials needed to limit infection."

Hell yeah EMU 😎

The genocidal regime launched over 100 airstrikes over Lebanon, largely on the ancient town of Nabatieh, in the past 24h. Israel bombed Nabatieh in 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996, 2006 and now hundreds of times since 2024. bsky.app/profile/mega...

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Prime Minister Carney says the war in Iran was "worth it". I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

There is mixed reaction to newly introduced First Nations water legislation, but chiefs in Alberta are mincing no words with their take on the bill. They are condemning the Carney government’s decision to bring forward Bill C-37, saying the approach is a dishonourable step backwards.

Cars are still killing children?!

Carney appears to feel AI has more right to safe drinking water than First Nations

New quilt finished. I made up this pattern, as far as I know, and it is executed quite badly (puckering and gaping) but quilting hides a multitude of sins!

My husband’s bike was stolen at Rideau and Charlotte today. Please keep an eye out in person and online.

Rfk: here are autistic people I want to murder Liberals: here are other autistic people who you presumably do not want to murder Rfk: so we both agree to only murder the ones I listed, nice nice. My worm is pleased.
