Whatever you think of Khamenei, there’s a great deal of mourning in Iran and the wider Shia community right now. Compare that to what you expect to see when Trump and Netanyahu die.

Same old song and dance. Manufacturing consent for war. Manufacturing consent for war crimes.

Has liberating a country through bombing their children to death ever worked?

as democratic politicians start writing up their statements i want them to pause for 30 seconds and think of the last time the anti-war people were wrong

If you have literally *any* other option than war and you support war anyway, you're a terrible person.

Europeans should know that Trump's attack on Iran today was launched from staging posts in Europe. Without these bases in Britain, Germany and elsewhere, it would be much much harder for 🇺🇸 to project global power.

if you were one of those people in my mentions yesterday dickriding defense contractors and US aggression please go fuck yourself. fuck yourself and fuck your mom.

The gulf countries were supposed to be America's allies. They were supposed to be BFF with Trump after they lavished him with gifts including a Qatari jet. They begged Trump not to launch this war on Iran. He ignored them. Let this be a lesson to America's other "allies" in Europe.

Mark Carney is a war pig. The Liberal Party is a death cult. When the blowback hits Canada, don't come to me for something to wipe away your tears.

We are attacking Iran because we believe can with zero accountability. It’s fucking disgusting. And so many of our leaders — in both parties, by the way — are applauding this. The people of Iran are the ones who determine their fate. The U.S. and Israel’s obsession with regime change is abhorrent.

It’s very telling that this week Omar and Tlaib were dragged all over the internet for heckling Trump however Hillary Clinton is praised for essentially giving a 🖕🏾to an inquiry into the rape of girls that her husband has all of predatory mitts all over.

In the five-minute clip distributed on WeChat, China's largest social media platform, Zhou sits in an office and claims, in Mandarin, "several non-ABC councilors are drug users themselves and have openly distributed drugs on the street, which is a terrible example for the next generation."

If I can't have hope, at least I can have spite.

I don't think it's a good thing for society that everything is now gambling

“Canadians stranded in Puerto Vallarta amid escalating violence in Mexico’s Jalisco state say while they’re feeling calm locked down in their hotels, the surrounding area looks like a “war zone.”” globalnews.ca/news/1167841... - Global News #CDNPoli #ElMencho #Jalisco #Mexico #PuertoVallarta

This site still sucks for breaking news. An attempted assassination on Trump and Mexico in lockdown should be flooding my stream. Even Discover is useless. Fuck are we even doing here then?

25% of ndp supporters saying not a threat is concerning. That's a very large percentage of people not paying attention.

It's Bob Mould weather out there. #MusicSky tidal.com/track/166926...

I slept in and have spent my morning listening to Jah Shaka while watching the wind batter trees outside. I may just be the happiest Canadian right now.

This coffee will cure my migraine. Right? #MigraineSky

Even if the tariffs stop (not a given), and then even if the money is refunded (definitely not a given), American consumers will never see a dime. And for us, the tariffs will continue in practice in the form of these permanent price increases that are now pure profit for corporate America.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but all permanent residents and temporary workers in Canada pay both federal and provincial taxes.

The kind of peace that Donald Trump deals in is a lie and an exercise in coercive brutality. A ‘peace’ that serves the interests of exploitation and injustice needs to be disturbed and shattered, writes @johncke.bsky.social.

Donald Trump really stood at his "Board of Peace" meeting of the "Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace" (to discuss Palestine with no Palestinians) and very peacefully threatened war with Iran.

it should be regarded as a miracle that anyone is willingly moving to Alberta. Give immigrants a medal as they cross the border

We are a knife’s edge away from a very, very serious war and most of US media is barely willing to even acknowledge it. To call it distressing would be an understatement.

When a single party can win full power with 40% of the vote, oversight becomes optional. That is not stability, that is concentration of power. Proportional representation forces agreement across parties before watchdogs can be weakened.

A reminder to boycott World Cup 2026.

The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial War on Iran is increasingly imminent

if you want me to embrace ai you need to first convince me it is the best use of trillions of (our) dollars and then you need to convince me its more than a fake hypergrowth ponzi scheme meant to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of billionaires

I guess I do agree that AI is a big deal in the sense that it’s going to make everything worse for the foreseeable future against all reason, logic, and evidence of it largely being a scam staring all of us in the face

just a reminder that every last democrat voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. this is not an opposition party—you are being deceived

Is there a word to describe the specific pain of impatience one feels when listening to Tony Allen whilst stuck on a lumbering bus in slow downtown traffic?

Thanks, Evan Dando. You've just freed up a lot of my future listening time.

we're in an uncertain economy so we're gonna cut the only jobs we, as government, can actually guarantee www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Noooo, not Bud Cort!???

I figure the people who make helicopter rotor bolts probably know what they're doing

I love how every Al ad is like "You're a stupid pissbaby, right? You can't wipe your own ass? Ask our chatbot how to wipe your ass. Pollute people's homes forever just to learn how to clean after pooping. We're worth $300 billion.”

#Canada we know where the rhetoric around mass shootings will go; we've seen it here and next door. The anti-Trans bigotry is constant, but expect it to get worse in the wake of this shooting. Look out for your friends and push back at hate wherever and whenever it's encountered.

The BC Green Party has walked away from talks for a new co-operation deal with the NDP government, saying not enough progress had been made on their key issues.

Helluva weekend for Bread and Circuses. I am not judging, though, as my turn away from sports is recent and more a function of depression. Just remember: the horrors are manifold and persistent. They'll just be buried in the tl for a few days. Enjoy the memes to come, I guess.

Boos erupted in the bar as the TV showed US athletes at the Olympic ceremony. Twas a magical moment.

Rumour is there's a bat loose in the building I work at. Good omen or ... ?

Tis that regretable time of year I do push-ups thinking, this is the year the habit sticks. Happy Push-Up Challenge to all partaking!
