Quebec's government is about to introduce a new secularism law which will ban the niqab on campus, campus prayer spaces and daycare workers and ECE students from wearing religious symbols. All to try and save their racist asses in the polls. My latest... noraloreto.substack.com/p/quebecs-ne...

Mark Carney and Danielle Smith’s MOU is an abuse of power and a spit in the face to British Columbians. They will never ram a pipeline through BC without the consent of Coastal First Nations and Northern Communities, and we’ll make fucking sure of it. #bcpoli

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began. Why has this disappeared from the headlines? The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The only thing worth reading today as leaders gather in Sharm el Sheikh: While the perpetrators of Gaza’s genocide pose as its saviours, survivors return home – to a wasteland - @nesrinemalik.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

While there is "some joy" in knowing that bombs have stopped falling on Gaza, Israeli historian Ilan Pappé warns that many Israeli leaders remain committed to using violence in order to "wipe out Palestine as a nation, as a people and as a country." Ilan Pappé's new book is "Israel on the Brink."

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh". www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

The Free Press reporter who wrote the piece about how Gazan kids aren’t actually starving that badly because some of them had preexisting conditions was hired directly from Matt Yglesias, fwiw

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Over the course of a summer @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social has: 1. Done nothing for Canadians detained by ICE 2. Done nothing about Gaza except spewing the same ol shit 3. Got caught lying about continuing to arm Israel 4. Said nothing about a 🇨🇦 ICC judge sanctioned by Trump Did I miss anything?

We need everyone back in the office because we want the serendipitous magic that only happens when you let humans get creative together and also we're replacing all of you with an AI machine that can only do things that it's seen done before

reminded of last fall when Ken Sim refused to accept the facts in a report produced by his own city staff on natural gas heating & building costs, because they contradicted his beliefs. thenarwhal.ca/vancouver-mi...

This is a dark stain on football, and will always be remembered as such. That UEFA nor FIFA did or said anything about the hundreds killed and complete anhialation of football in that region is deplorable.

I think we should all find it very, very difficult to live our lives normally considering everything that's going on. Every time you see a Microsoft brand or owned company, it should remind you of this right here. The literal least you can do is not give them your money or free advertising.

When people talk about how systemic and structural issues don't exist but the data all looks like this.

A journalist with Canada’s public broadcaster was not allowed on the Canadian plane air dropping aid into Gaza because of Israeli restrictions. When she made it onto a Jordanian plane, she was not allowed to film what she saw on the ground in Gaza because Israel forbids it from being shown.

Imagine these headlines about photos of Jews during the Holocaust. It's really unbelievable how low humanity has sunk. Germany, by the way, had multiple articles like this all week

they had an israeli genocide scholar publish an op-ed stating, "yes, it's genocide, and it kills me to say it" but that doesn't get a push notification. the dipshit former editor of the racist jerusalem post who writes about "disease of the arab mind," on the other hand...

so when you… • force this tech on most everyone • block it from acknowledging trans people even exist • remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody …it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

Okay, I will say this: the famine in Gaza is a deliberate policy decision by Israel to mass murder two million people and they are doing this on the dime of US taxpayers. The bloodstains from this will never wash off.

Al Jazeera's live ticker headlines can't keep up with the death count today

“Since the GHF started operating in Gaza in late May, at least 891 people have been killed while trying to get food”

The real counter to "people are too stupid for democracy" is that the elites are by all appearances even stupider. The average person falls for TikTok cheapfakes meanwhile the average elite thinks transgender sports are a tractable policy-based concern and that AI will replace all jobs in 2 years

Oldest mosque in Gaza, site held consecutive pagan tempes before it. Destruction of most historical and cultural sites in Gaza by Israel has largely been received with a shrug by those who were vocal about ISIS & Taliban doing the same. bsky.app/profile/gogr...

The NYT doesn't hire real journalists. They kill them in Palestine.

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.

To be clear, this is exactly what the United States needs the story to be so it can argue its strikes on Iran were not illegal under international law, regardless of the facts. In 2003, Canada didn’t buy the lies about WMDs in Iraq. In 2025, Carney is helped the US sell its lies to the public.

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.

there is a saying in India used to mock bald men "the razor was too good" the implication is it was so sharp it also sliced off the brain with the hair and this guy is proof it was based on real world evidence

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

We literally have guys in masks kidnapping citizens and a brain dead woman was kept in a coma so her 2lb fetus could be "born" Wtf is a normal country?

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

“As a commitment to truth and reconciliation, I must acknowledge colonial and genocidal atrocities today, including the massacre of more than 17,000 Palestinian children in Gaza.” That’s what an Ottawa high school Valedictorian said to cheers. She was told not to come to school the next day.

Never has it been clearer that “no one is free until Palestine is free” is not a chant but a warning, as we all stare into the abyss of another world war.

Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself from Tehran's Children's Hospital, Carney says

*israel takes a quick break from genocide to attack iran, killing dozens of civilians* mark carney: iran’s missile attacks are a threat to peace 🫠

Last night, Canadian PM @mark-carney.bsky.social had plenty to say about a hockey game, but no thoughts or prayers for those murdered in an illegal act of war by Israel in Iran. I wonder why those particular lives don't matter.

Checking in with the Splatoon 3 community and it's still good. Big Man says trans rights are human rights.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

+ alt text for this very good Microsoft ad

NDP Interim Leader Don Davies states: "Canada should join Ireland and other like-minded countries in taking a strong moral, legal and active stand to end the siege and bloodshed in Gaza and allow unimpeded humanitarian aid to stop this disaster." Davies directly calls out Carney: "how about you?"

A good counterargument to "you shouldn't do [xxx] because then the fascists and press will call it a riot!!" is you can literally not show up and the fascists, the press will still call it a riot

ICE crossed a line in LA
