Israel continues to block international journalists from Gaza, despite a "ceasefire". Israel ignores its own Supreme Court's ruling to allow Red Cross visits to prisons – deemed "torture camps" by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. Does Israel have something to hide?

If Trump steals the 2026 election, history tells us the options are either accept fascist rule or rise up.

The more disinformation you believe, the more likely you are to vote Conservative. “80% of the most disinformed Canadians vote Conservative.” t.co/4XuCm5RNoA

Mark Carney sold out Cuba at the UN. If you are lobbyist for a pesticide company or an oil giant looking for a handout he's got your back but a nation being crushed by an illegal blockade? Well that's another story. Call your Liberal MP and ask why. canadiannetworkoncuba.ca/2026/07/07/c...

“Especially in the past couple of months or the past few weeks, where we’ve been getting one or two calls about issues like this or incidents similar to this pretty much every day,” said NCCM spokesperson Steven Zhou.

There will always be a Carney fan along to defend him, often by deflecting to the provinces. A few reminders... 🧵

Matt Strickland, @landofsticks.bsky.social , points out that there are 3 more locally owned news outlets. They are a little more niche - grandparade.news City Hall weekly print and digital easternshorecooperator.ca Eastern Shore monthly digital southdartmouth.ca South Dartmouth print and digital

As @timbousquet.bsky.social says, with Rogers shuttering News 95.7 @halifaxexaminer.ca and allNovaScotia are the last locally owned media and this leads to a less-informed public. If you care about local media, please subscribe to on or both. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

“My capital city, festooned in the flag that celebrates child mutilation, puberty blockers and blokes using womens’ loos. “How we have lost our way”! Suella Braverman on rainbow flags in London during Pride. Please never let these terrifying, hateful people into power.

If you’re a right-wing columnist, you don’t need to consider the evidence that privatization doesn’t deliver better outcomes, especially when it means you personally can pay for better access. All you need to do is echo capitalist orthodoxy.

For the evening/west coast crowd...

Canada's Whinestone Cowboy!

"If the private sector felt there was a really good business case for these projects, they would step up and try and make some money off of them. But we just haven't seen that in either of these pipeline cases and that's pretty telling." youtu.be/dXdgJjitcnM

More people should be making posts like this! It doesn’t make you look weak. The opposite, actually!

Public pressure has already forced the Carney government to slow its environmental rollbacks. Now we need to make it clear that Canadians don't want another pipeline that puts the people and planet we love at risk. act.stand.earth/s/5726657/de...

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell the CRA to Stop Funding Israel’s Illegal Occupation Through UIAC’s Tax-Subsidized Funds. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

"Considering unpaid labour alone, research shows that approximately 7.8 million Canadians—one in five adults—are providing unpaid care to a family member or friend with a long-term health condition, disability, or age-related need… A basic income guarantee is the best option to value caregiving…"

Data centers are now a labor issue, a racial issue, an environmentalissue, a climate issue, a privacy issue, etc. Gotta build that solidarity - our enemies are certainly showing us that we must (and can!) Anyways, pre-order Paris' new book!

When the corruption is so blatant even Sepp Blatter is calling it out!

George Stroumboulopoulos sez: Museums aren't meant to settle arguments. They're meant to deepen our understanding of them.

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

Hospital roofs replaced by rockets and guns. Buried in the smallprint - Starmer's defence plan means slashing funding for hospitals to pay for bullets and bombs. Will @andyburnham.bsky.social go along with this?

In the face of manufactured controversy, Winnipeg’s Nakba exhibit is a breakthrough. El Jones speaks to the Palestinian advocates who helped make the exhibit happen and who finally see their history reflected in a major Canadian institution. breachmedia.ca/the-nakba-ex...

What would the Founding Fathers think about Trump? The Declaration of Independence gives us an idea. Watch.

'Surviving Palestinians will be herded into fenced “humanitarian shelters” policed by foreign forces under a plan led by US president Donald Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ in the coming weeks, according to an #Israeli newspaper.' #BDS #Gaza #GazaNews #GazaStrip #Israel #News #Palestine #WorldNews

This can only mean one thing: Antifa Special Forces commandos have infiltrated the stage crew and are trying to sabotage the event.

"There's no shortage of ideas about what to do if AI hollows out large swaths of work: universal basic income, benefits that don't depend on employers, lifelong retraining, a shorter workweek." UBI is economic infrastructure for technological transition.

If you mobilize harder against progressives than you did against fascism I have bad news about which side you’re on, regardless of what party you claim to be in

And there you have it...the AI that most of us don't want needs us to pay for grid upgrades for their data centre power needs.

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

This gives me No Labels vibes. The Democratic Party doesn’t need a group of consultants and donors rebranding conservative talking points as some brave new vision. If your big idea is announcing you’re capitalist, patriotic, and tough on borders, congrats, you repurposed 1990s GOP messaging.

Strong, independent journalism is needed and Rachel Gilmore delivers.

"In 2008, the International Energy Agency projected that to stave off dangerous levels of warming, we would have to be burying around 1.6 billion tons, or 1,600 megatons, of CO2 per year by 2025." Note: The actual amount buried is closer to zero. projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-c...

The Labour Party is going to have a secret leadership election, but members aren't invited. Only MPs and a handful of unions will get to vote (effectively meaning only MPs vote). The 'Workers Party' has leadership elections even less democratic than the Conservatives.

The enemy is the oligarchy Jeffries, ya know, your meal ticket. It's almost like two things can be true at once: Donald Trump is a threat to America + Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are also threats to America, but less loud & yet more disappointing.

I hope that tomorrow or Sunday @mark-carney.bsky.social and Min. David McGuinty announce that CAF is going to assist Venezuela. DART, a couple of ships and helicopters, airlift, let's go! Same as Hurricane Andrew, or Katrina. The need is so dire. www.cbc.ca/news/world/v...
