Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.

Did you know that climate change isn't a required part of BC's public school curriculum? Let's change that! Please send an email to Minister Beare and share - www.forourkids.ca/email_minist... @sethdklein.bsky.social

People power works. Thanks to everyone who came together to force Pattison’s hand this week. #bcpoli

This came in the same budget that axed a luxury tax on yachts. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

“I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way.” The right-wing Somali pogrom architects are shocked she’d square up and stand-up for herself, because they are inherently cowards. Naag Nool!

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

A suburban county in central Virginia is considering its legal options over a plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to purchase a warehouse property owned by Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments to use as a holding and processing centre www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

UFCW 1518 has written to the Jim Pattison Group about the decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an ICE processing facility. We stand firmly against practices that dehumanize people anywhere — including the harms reported by victims impacted by ICE.

'Sorry you're all upset that we're profiting off of fascism.' 🤷‍♀️

It me

Pattison profits off of the largest coalport on the Pacific coast of the Americas, shipping US thermal coal. Now he's looking to profit off of real estate deals with ICE. So great there's finally a political leader in this province willing to criticize BC's Mr. Burns. thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jewish lives — and the millions of others — senselessly murdered by the Nazi regime. We remember not only the unimaginable loss, but the warning history leaves us.

Vigils were held around Minneapolis and beyond Saturday night in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents. Photo and video: Jeff Wheeler, Anthony Souffle, Simon Peter Groebner/The Minnesota Star Tribune.

BC's Mr. Burns has been profiting off of Trumpism for years, not least through his ownership of the coal port that exports thermal coal from the U.S. Billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and the planet ricochet.media/climate/envi...

America’s unions mourn the senseless killing by federal agents of our AFGE Local 3669 union brother and VA nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti. We reiterate our call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed. https://bit.ly/4pVTpFO

Boycott Pattison List🇨🇦: - Save-On-Foods - Quality Foods - Nester’s Market - Western Family - Urban Fare - Pattison car dealerships and media Time to crank the pressure until Pattison cuts ties with ICE. #BoycottPattison #bcpoli

Alex Pretti, a 37-year old nurse, was just murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. We must organize and build solidarity across borders to #AbolishICE. First up - BC billionaire Jim Pattison owns a US warehouse that will soon be turned into an ICE processing facility. Tell Eby to shut down the deal. #bcpoli

I would very much like to see a BC reporter follow up on this. Is the party's official position to support US-led regime change abroad? And if so, where else?

UN Charter Article 2(4) is a core principle of international law. It prohibits all states from the threat/use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any other state, banning war & coercion except self-defense or UN Security Council authorization.

NDP denounces the illegal attack of Trump against the venezuelian regime. Latin America is not owned by the USA and it’s not its playground. International law and the people’s right to self determination exists. The liberal government should clearly defend these principles. #NDP @ndp.ca #cdnpoli

Excerpts from interview with Fox News important read for Canadians

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Truly deranged and dangerous. U.S. imperialism, mask off.

Cowardice and complicity. The U.S. attack on Venezuela was a flagrant, over-the-top violation of international law. Canada should be echoing Mexico's principled stand against war. Instead, we get Elbows Down bootlicking. Pathetic.

“It’s about being full human beings and not just means to an end. I want to live in a city that honors what you’re doing when you’re not making money: time spent on the playground with a kid or visiting a sick friend…we need bread, but we need roses too.” -Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson

Happy Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City to all who celebrate 😭❤️

The Carney-Smith ‘grand bargain’ is a fire sale of our future. The former UN #climate envoy is trading Indigenous rights and Canada’s climate legacy for a financially toxic tar sands pipeline deal with #Alberta. New from @richardbrooks.bsky.social: ricochet.media/climate/the-... #cdnpoli

I was invited to Craft Beer Hall to watch this event live with the mayor and ABC councillors. I declined.

I suspect even WAC Bennet might have nationalized it too.

Nationalize it. That's what Bob Williams and Dave Barrett would've done. #bcpoli

Governments change. Policies shift. But the need for journalism that serves people—not power—remains constant. Ricochet’s new para-charitable status ensures our reporting stays independent, at a time when Canada needs it most. Support us this Giving Tuesday: ricochet.media/donate/

Wondering why Dallas Brodie and Frances Widdowson got kicked off the UVic campus today? Gitxan journalist Jerome Turner attended one of their unsanctioned events, and wrote about it. Here’s what academic Sean Carleton told Jerome about their movement. Read more: ricochet.media/indigenous/w...
