"Life is Being Extinguished in Gaza" #ALERT #GAZA - Global Protection Cluster: globalprotectioncluster.org/publications...

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

Disabled people aren’t “choosing” to be sick. They can’t “try harder” to be well. It’s not about how hard we fight or whether we want it bad enough. Disability is not a moral failing. Many of us were just like you, until we weren’t. Its one of the only minority groups you can join at any time

How horrifying.

Israel's Finance Minister has cancelled a waiver allowing Israeli banks to work with Palestinian counterparts in a move that could paralyse the Palestinian economy. www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/20...

Mr Trump I meant the other immigrants.... Clowns.

I will be joining the March to Gaza with the Canadian delegation. This is a peaceful global march led by citizens of the world to support the people of Gaza and demand an end to this inhumane blockade, and ensure an opening of a permanent humanitarian corridor.

Ben Gvir, the minister responsible for the Prison Service, admits and boasts that Israel is pursuing a policy of starving Palestinian prisoners. "They come in fat and leave thin," he said last night at a right-wing demonstration.

On the first day of Eid The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announces that all Gaza aid distribution sites are closed again today until further notice. 82 have been killed seeking ‘humanitarian’ aid from GHF www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

"When bad men combine, the good must associate, else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." Edmund Burke Today, we remember the enormous sacrifices of the Allies in the struggle to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. Evil and aggression must never prevail #DDay

“Revenge porn primarily affects women and teen girls and is very much a gender-based crime. It’s routinely used as a method of coercive control, with significant emotional, social and professional consequences for the victims.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

Canada might have to get a restraining order. We're just not that into you. #cdnpoli

“”We have nothing at Nasser Hospital,” said Dr. Ahmed al-Farrah, who said his emergency center for malnourished children is at full capacity. Supplies are running out, people are living off scraps, and the situation is catastrophic for babies and pregnant women, he said.”

House passes tax bill that bans Medicaid from covering transition-related care For @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

It should be entirely uncontroversial to demand that 14,000 babies dying of malnutrition be fed, and that those starving them be brought to justice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

Well this puts a damper on a beautiful day....

Netanyahu’s authoritarian state: “Fear, censorship and repression are keeping Israelis in the dark about Gaza” “Israel is hiding images of wounded children, dead women, the scale of the carnage, hunger, disease, and the extent of the humanitarian disaster in Gaza” www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit...

I saw an article titled "Late Night Monologue Takes On Carney Trump Meeting" from a Canadian news outlet and was annoyed there are no Canadian Late Night Monologues... so I made one.

Checking people leaving the US. Seems like nothing but harassment

An important dimension to the current AI hype cycle is that a lot of people have no idea what *actual research* involves. Maybe that's not new? Or maybe google has fooled people into thinking anyone can "do their own research"? I don't know. But it's not great.

I am regularly told AI will replace me as an editor. Because people think I am like a human spell check.... when in fact I focus on structure, flow, detail, accurate citations, missed information, order of events, and other things that can't be automated. It is a tool, nothing more.

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

The Conservatives really are the party of “We tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.”

It's like they had a meeting to decide how to pick someone more annoying than Poilievre.... ugh

Amnesty International Secretary General, Agnes Callamard: “There is no more food in Gaza. People are suffering from severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. The World Food Organization, the World Health Organization, and all UN and other humanitarian organizations are sounding the alarm.”

🚨 Israel has not allowed the entry of humanitarian aid since March 2, and the Strip is on the brink of total collapse. 'International law is unequivocal: As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in,' said one UN official @nirhasson.bsky.social

How strong of her to speak up during what must be an incredibly painful time.

He is like a toddler.

A sliver of divinity on earth.. the painstaking attention to detail, the hours, the work of preservation.
