This article mentions over 30,000 Iranian protesters killed, of course the regime wants to make a deal because they want to avoid consequences for their actions. Just like they have done before with past crack downs. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Finally someone has said it out loud. Treason. Where is the parliamentary investigation into foreign money and support from the US to break up our nation? nationalnewswatch.com/2026/01/29/e...

I doubt it was a coincidence about the Halifax studio being announced for closure. From the article: The closure of Ubisoft Halifax was previously announced in January - the same week the studio formed a union. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More empty threats, or is something going to happen this time? At least 20k protesters were killed in Iran & more were detained thinking the US might take action to over throw the regime. Now Trump doesn't even mention them, but makes new threats over a nuclear deal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is America. ICE is a serious problem. I definitely won't go there with the Trump administration in power, and without a complete dismantling of ICE, amongst other changes, I may never go back there. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

We don't care, we are pivoting away from the US. We will compete against American exports to other countries to make up for it. There will be short term pain, but it is necessary, and we won't be alone. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

First, security forces fired tear gas at the protesters. Then they formed a line & fired birdshot. Doctors at Feiz eye hospital in Isfahan had carried out around 300 surgical procedures to remove the eyes of patients with birdshot-related facial injuries. www.bbc.com/news/article...

After months of consideration, Green Party councillor Pete Fry looks set to announce his candidacy for mayor at an event next Friday at the Fox Cabaret Here's my piece from September where I reported on his intentions & why he is probably best situated to unite the left (though far from a given!)

Only one reactor is restarting at this site, and they currently plan to run only one more of the seven total on this site. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Vancouver council is back in session today Which means they are once again only providing real-time updates on city business to a single website that's under investigation for child exploitation They've stubbornly defended their approach Which reaches approximately 50 people

I’m really not sure why there hasn’t been a national strike — no work, no spending — in the Unites States yet in response to the multiple national crises that Trump has created. Seems urgently necessary.

It is not just the cold, she also has a reaction exiting water regardless of the temperature. Others with the condition can have a reaction from just consuming cold food or drinks and risk anaphylaxis. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump claims to want Greenland as part of America because China & Russsia want it, but Russia is supporting Trump wanting Greenland??? Obviously, this means Russia has no interest, and China has said as much about their own interests. US is no longer a NATO ally. www.bbc.com/news/live/cx...

Trump is a dangerous idiot. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“Leave Greenland alone!” Heckler interrupts Star-Spangled Banner at NBA game in London, wins cheers from crowd. (Video via Reddit)

Iran may remain cut-off until Nowruz (first day of Spring), then have very restrictive internet access, besides Starlink. While I don't care for Musk, repressive regimes, like the one in Iran, show why LEO satellite Internet access is critical & Starlink is free in Iran. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Time to kick the US out of NATO & transition to an EU plus Canada defence force. Maybe we can get NZ, Australia, Japan & South Korea. Stop trade with the US. There is nothing to negotiate because negotiating with the US will let them think Greenland can be negotiated. www.bbc.com/news/live/c1...

The right has become a transnational attack on the progress of the Western world of the last 60 years: a collection of freaks, bullies, weirdos, idiots, and zealots, driven utterly insane by the Internet and Covid and their own self-reinforcing propaganda

BREAKING: TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record." "Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Macron: At the request of Denmark, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance. The first French military elements are already on their way. Others will follow.

1st time China's full-year trade surplus has passed $1tn. Trump's tariff campaign barely affected China's overall trade with the rest of the world. US Trade did weaken, but it was made up for by a rise in exports elsewhere, especially to SE Asia, Africa & Latin America. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump encouraging more protests while dragging his feet with delivering help that is apparently "on its way" will only result in the death toll climbing significantly higher. Help was needed days ago, but this is just a game for Western leaders & each time it's just words as Iranians die.

12/ SpaceX is asking to add even more trajectories for Starship. Under the plan, the rocket would fly over land in Florida and Mexico, as well as the airspace of Cuba, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, likely disrupting hundreds of flights.

Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean. Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone." Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

It's all about the oil. The US wants stability, so leave the existing government in power knowing that they will toe the line, otherwise they will end up with a similar fate to Maduro and the next in line will take over. If the US goes to Iran, expect the same. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

“Our neighbour’s autocratic and avaricious leader is demonstrably eager to use his country’s massive military power to advance his interests. We must get ready.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
