Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

Not apologising for flooding the timeline with live news from Lebanon. I don't know how many people I know will still be alive by tomorrow. And all this because the fucking western nations won't call off the rabid dog they created.

Among the 200+ killed by Israel yesterday: Poet and grandmother Khartoum Salma, who was found with her husband, this morning, under the rubble, in Beirut's Tallet al-Khaya. Her two volumes of poetry, "A Woman Embraced While Waiting" and "The Moon's Last Guests". May their gentle souls RIP.

Jordan Leichnitz: "It's clear that the Liberals under Carney are building a big tent, and apparently it's such a big tent you can drive a trucker convoy through it"

Overnight Israeli airstrikes on Chiyah and southern Lebanon

At least 10 people killed in Zrariyeh and 7 more in Abbasiyyeh after an Israeli airstrike this morning Israel's massacres in Lebanon continue

I grew up in Toronto, haven't lived here since 2010, but visit at least once a year. And I can't believe with all the subway line expansions that the Yonge line still stops at Finch.

“We are seeing more evidence every day that Mark Carney is a conservative, and that there are now two conservative parties in the House of Commons.” Read my full statement on MP Gladu’s floor crossing here: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-sta...

Carney fans, rationalize away! (Just kidding. We already know you'll be fine with this. You don't need to tell us.)

Every politician should be required, after talking about a tax cut, to also say what government services will be lost due to that cut

If *this* Conservative feels seen and welcomed by Carney's Liberals, I don't know what further proof you need that Carney is a Liberal in name only.

Once again, there's no situation in which his fans wouldn't praise Carney. If he rejected Gladu based on her very problematic positions and statements, he'd be deeply principled and standing on values. If he accepts her, he's being pragmatic and offering a big tent to bring the country together.

To be clear: any outlet that reports "Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz" without reporting "because they explicitly said the ceasefire must include Lebanon and Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon" is an outlet you cannot trust.

A question for those who know… If—and I mean if— I were to invite Palestinian poets to contribute fantasy, sci-fi, or horror poetry to the new volume of Thyme Travellers, who are some names I should know? The name can be yours, dear reader!

Eastern N. America folks, it's just about go time for the start of the ~3 week peak migration (unless you're on the Gulf Coast, in which case it is go time NOW). Expect waves of incredible birds for the next month and a half Turn those overnight lights off to protect them! [stolen from local news]

ok anyone know how to stop whatsapp and messenger from offering to 'summarize this thread'?

now more than ever, Canada needs @ndp.ca and @avilewis.ca . They are our only hope of getting progressive policies back.

I for one will not vote for any party that welcomes Marilyn Gladu, with her COVID denialism, conversion therapy promotion and “Christian Heritage” supremacy, into caucus.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

The Liberals are just the Conservatives 2.0

Somewhere Naomi Klein sighs heavily, resets a “days since last incident” sign back to zero, writes “MOON” on a post it note and underlines it twice

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

100 airstrikes in 10 minutes this is genocide

#Lebanon ❗️At least 12 civilian have been murdered in an Israeli attack on a cafe/restaurant in Sidon A massacre. All those killed in the cafe were locals from Shebaa town. No one fought against Israel in this war from Shebaa t.me/LebUpdate/59...

"just a few more minutes" in pilot lingo means anywhere from 10-120 minutes

It is extremely cool and good that trans people exist.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

another one bites the dust

shout out to the staff of Connected Coffee at Stanfield airport for being courteous and quick at 5:30am

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[reposted to add alt text] @mahsaalimardani.bsky.social: We didn't deserve this day.

I have to get up at 4:40 and I am already feeling sleepy at 9:30pm and so I am sure that I will wake up around 2am and not be able to get back to sleep

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

there is not a hell horrible enough for Trump and anyone who supports him

Lol

Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

yeah well fuck them, genocidal apartheid state that wants to live in hell, fuck all the way off

Neither @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social nor @mark-carney.bsky.social accept phone calls from non-constituents so I have emailed them to note that neither has said one word about the madman south of the border's threats against an entire nation and maybe they should get off their asses to do that

As a child of the 80s where we were constantly told the world would end at any moment if either Reagan or Gorbachev decided to press a button, we just pushed the existential dread deep down because there was nothing else to do with it and went on with our lives. If it ends... it ends.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

I just backed Thyme Travellers 2 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

I agree. Carney’s “principled and pragmatic” politics has been all pragmatism and boot-licking so far.

The Canadian government must unequivocally denounce this statement and follow it up with actions. It doesn't matter if it's a bluff or locker room talk, there can be no more coddling of this mad man who will kill us all. @mark-carney.bsky.social show some guts.

Reminder that Carney is making big cuts to our agriculture agencies. His fans rationalized with Conservative talking points about "bloat".

yet another reason to leave substack (before they make it even harder to leave):
