A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. That’s how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists they’ve killed were actually enemy combatants.

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza. And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

The demonization and criminalization of people without housing is critical here. The unspoken logic that pulls this all together is the reality that poor people can’t afford bail, so they stay locked in jails without convictions, and that’s how these people *want* it to work.

The president brought up no cash bail and Chicago today. Here’s a reminder: Data emerging from the Circuit Court of Cook County shows that the law is working thetriibe.com/2024/07/essa...

@needstobebred.live hi, I think you're the Ayla that Emma was supposed to hang out with today—she fell asleep after not sleeping for like two days and it was too hard to wake her up. She semi woke up a little bit just now and says she's sorry and will try to reschedule when she's awake again later

Marketplace platform that enables Nazis and fascists under the guise of free speech has now passed the big banks to become the most valuable company in Canada. Shopify’s leadership will now have even more resources to push for extreme right-wing political causes in Canada.

Again, it should tell you all you need to know when the policy & rhetoric pushed by certain canadian municipal councillors and premiers is also now a core pillar of the Trump playbook

Fully illegal given the temporary restraining order on "roving patrols," affirmed by the 9th Circuit just last week

The documents were obtained after a 15-month struggle during which the FOIP request was "lost," delayed, ordered released by the OIPC, released for $1,133 payment, then delayed again. Two weeks after the order, the police chief & two deputies resigned. All resignations remain unexplained. 4/

SCOOP 🧵 Two years after being caught using Clearview AI facial recognition software, Calgary police signed contracts for "image recognition" software that scours photos and videos for individuals. 1/ drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

So in the absence of any official policy, a community festival was told they’d need to pay two cops $437/hour each, with no justification or oversight from the city

“The point of this messaging isn’t to meaningfully dispute the facts on the ground in Gaza. The point is to foment among Israel’s supporters the idea that no piece of media sympathetic to Palestinians can be trusted.”

With Mark Carney in power, the Business Council of Canada has reclaimed its throne in Ottawa—quietly shaping national policy to serve the interests of the country’s corporate elite while sidelining the public, Parliament, and the progressive promises that got the Liberals elected.

Would be so embarrassing to crash out on this website. Like getting in a car accident on a unicycle

EMMA: I remember the news saying Donald Trump drinks 6 to 12 diet cokes a day. That's not that much. Like if that's all they have on him, come on.. ME: They did have more on him, I believe

NEW DATA: As many of us warned 4 months ago from EMS dispatch data, Edmonton set a record for overdose deaths in March 2025. No alert was issued by the government. In what is certainly an under-count, the initial data show 88 people killed by drug policy. Condolences to those surviving loss 🕯️

And here's the transcript of the clip from the Matt Bernstein video that ties into all of this

Here's a transcript of the section of the @daviddoel.bsky.social video I'm referencing. And as a trans person, it all just makes me feel really sad and helpless.

Remember that fascists, especially genocidal fascists, will NEVER be satiated. NEVER. Columbia can rename itself KKKolumbia and expel all Muslims and anti-fascist Jews, and they will still demand more.

the whole article is a fascinating insight into the addled minds of tesla cult holdouts and i'm most fixated on this guy's choice to use the phrase "REpopulate mars"

the fact that BC Housing is NOT measuring the levels of respiratory viruses and CO2 in the air while they're measuring the amount of fentanyl in the air tells us that this is the production of evidence for a decision that's already been made 🖍️ www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Evicting people for smoking fentanyl in public housing is bad policy that will kill people without making anyone safer. Smoking, rather than injecting, is a form of harm reduction that reduces overdose, infections, & deadly/costly complications. Ppl smoke inside because it’s illegal to do outside 🧵…

The amount of negative attention these stories always get can be depressing. It does not minimize the risks of fentanyl use to say it is not a risk to people who don’t use drugs. It does not make people safer from fentanyl to lie about the risks of fentanyl. People who use fentanyl deserve housing

Really sad and shocking. Apparently a bat bit his head off

This is rlly what it comes down to. Columnists, pundits, etc tend to have a particular type of cheap vanity where they indulge in off-putting "politically incorrect" "heterodox" blah blah positions partly just to feel like their brain is so curious &serious that it will touch what their peers won't

It is pretty unequivocally true to say that the American punditocracy and intelligentsia vastly prefer the company and input of race scientists and Nazis to "woke" liberals. I don't think there's really any argument about that, it's extremely clear up and down the board.

“Medical Properties Trust” owns 400 health care facilities & rents them back to hospital groups. 9 companies that leased hospitals from MPT have gone bankrupt. And while dozens of hospitals have been sold, entangled in bankruptcy proceedings, or become depleted shells, MPT’s execs earned millions.

try the bananas luv, they’re smashing xx

many think the end of LGBTQIA+ is "asexual/aromantic" and "+" for others not listed, but it's actually "A+" for former gifted kids

People didn’t “used to be fine” without air conditioning during heat waves in the U.S. - a lot more people *just died*. According to this study, air conditioning has cut heat deaths in the U.S. by around 80% since 1960. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

Idiotic platitudes about "peacekeeping," something we absolutely don't do, and "contributing to alliances," which means our guys sit around jerking off in Latvia. We as a nation aren't responsible enough to be trusted with a credible military so we just follow the Americans around like good vassals.

"Canadians want a stronger military." No, they don't. They want an absurdly expensive safety blanket that they don't need to think about. We're the most delusional country in the world as it pertains to military affairs. Canadian politics is divorced from the material realities of armed combat.

it's money time

MY MUM (doing crossword): You know the cartoon Bluey? Do you know what kind of animal Bluey is? ME: A dog MUM: Do you know what type of dog? 4 letters? DAD: Why would he know that? MUM: Young people know about Bluey

I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.

“So who does this put the Times in league with? Much like its coverage of trans youth, it's helpful to look around and see who else is pushing the same line of coverage. It’s hard-right ideology laundered as legitimate journalistic inquiry.“
