MI6 and the CIA provided a list of alleged Soviet agents in Iran to Ayatollah Khomeini’s theocratic regime in the early 1980s. The regime used the information to execute leading members of the Iranian communist party, the Tudeh. www.declassifieduk.org/how-britain-...

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

"Solidarity with Iranians" isn't solidarity unless it demands an end to sanctions against Iran. The aim and impacts of US/Israel military attacks on Iran will not be the welfare of the Iranian people.

Some refer to military spending as a means of creating jobs. This may sound sociopathic. It is also a factual error.

Canada has 41.5 million people, and its governing party is posting messages on a platform that are on average viewed by only a few hundred people What do Canadian MPs actually gain from using X? What would Canadian MPs stand to lose by leaving X?

Rowling hasn't said a word about grok producing nonconsentual porn photos of women or CSAM. She doesn't actually give a damn about women and children. She just hates trans people.

Canada’s response to the US military operation in Venezuela harms not only international law and global stability, but Canada’s own interests. If Canada wants international law to protect its sovereignty, it must defend that law everywhere—or risk losing it altogether.

Doubling down on economically volatile and environmentally destructive sectors, while weakening Indigenous decision-making, sets a dangerous precedent. It locks Canada into a dependency on oil that has long constrained our political imagination, even as global markets shift toward decarbonization.

-The US sanctions against Iran are specifically designed, by admission of US officials, to cause mass misery and social discontent to the point of instigating protests. This is a well-worn playbook for US regime-change operations.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder. And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly. Here’s why: 👇🧵

BONUS THREAD: 🧵 I broke down Renee Good's murder in the thread above from a female perspective but here's a fabulous video from Brian Recker: A message from one male to another! Love him for his empathy.

Over and over we are outraged by US repressive violence, though it has a VERY long history that even makes it into pop culture. But over and over liberals feign surprise and outrage and resort to Orientalist tropes, believing it must be compared to China or Iran to be made understandable.

This guy apparently doesn't watch the news. He should say the exact same thing about the United States but won't. And of course canada would not do any thing like this - unless you're a Land Defender, journalist who reports on repression of pipeline protests, or if you protests Israeli genocide.

I've found Gada Mahrouse's chapter, "Whiteness and the Divergent Responses to Rachel Corrie’s Death" in her book Conflicted Commitments really helpful.

Our thread of ICE and CBP rapists, sex pests, and child molesters continues below. Our thread was so long that it broke Bluesky.

I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

Reminder that Canadian companies supply ICE in the US, profit from US fascism.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

On Venezuela, Mark Carney has seemingly adopted what he believes is the pragmatic position, placing trade concerns with Washington above international law—and self-respect. But can we afford to be so quiescent and cowardly in the face of yet another brazen Trump aggression?

Chrystia Freeland finally chooses Ukraine (officially) and leaves nearly a million casualties in her wake. My latest -- noraloreto.substack.com/p/chrystia-f...

Careful silence when the US started killing people in international waters. Careful silence when a Canadian ICC justice was sanctioned by the US. Now we mumble vague things about international law and Venezuela. We’re losing more than just our voice.

International "rules-based order": "If I give you my Nobel 'Peace' Prize will you annoint me president of your colony/protectorate?"

what are we going to do if he annexes Greenland, hm? another predictable "march" on a Saturday for a couple of hours? another round of phone calls to our house representatives for some "strongly worded letters"? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

This guy is going to appeal to the world to support Canada when the US comes for them but he continues to side with US imperialism when it targets others.

While France, Cuba, Colombia, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Uruguay have condemned the US invasion of Venezuela as a breach of international law and the UN Charter, the Canadian Prime Minister has not. What he has done is made a phone call to María Corina Machado, the Trump supporter.

The "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine is the single greatest threat to peace and prosperity that the Americas confront today. 🇻🇪 Statement from the Cabinet of the Progressive International on the US invasion of Venezuela.

The Canadian government celebrates the US committing the crime of aggression against Venezuela, in violation of international law and the UN Charter, even as it calls for respect for international law. I’m not surprised: Carney took a similar approach when the US illegally attacked Iran last year.

As governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney blocked Venezuela from accessing $1 billion of its own gold after coordinated pressure from Washington and the far-right Venezuelan opposition, directly aiding a US-led regime change effort and worsening a humanitarian crisis.

If you live in a major city there’s likely already a demonstration planned. If you don’t, watch orgs like @world-beyond-war.bsky.social or @justpeaceadvocates.bsky.social who often list/share actions.

This seems like a bad day for Smith and Carney and their 🇨🇦 oil pipeline dreams. The US just claimed access to a much larger oil reserve that is easier to access. While so many Canadians on here are only decrying this imperial aggression b/c Canada could be next, it might make 🇨🇦 irrelevant.

Like come on

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC... US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

Meanwhile, this guy is crying into his pillow that the US didn't bomb Ottawa (especially his old riding) and abduct Carney so he could be PM/governor.

And here it is: We (Canada) only demand that countries in the global South uphold "International Law." If our imperial allies bomb them and abduct their leaders, that somehow is "upholding the rule of law and democracy."

A. International Law doesn't apply to the United States, when it commits acts of violence and imperialism against people in the global South. B. The Canadian government will not consider such an act a breach of International Law until it is Carney who is kidnapped.

The CBC take on the US attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its leader is that the motivations of the US are "amorphous." Appalling.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...
