A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats. "The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said. “Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

Good read 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

We resist because we know what it is at stake and because we are Canadian. charlieangus.substack.com/p/we-resist-...

Very happy to hear this news. I have 2 allotments at this site. One for veggies, and one for native pollinators. I can ride my bike easily via the CRD’s trail and path system from downtown Victoria. Local community endeavors likes this are so important during these times of madness. #yyj 💚

Is it just me or does it feel really weird now just going along everyday doing regular everyday stuff like we’re not already well down a path people will look back at in 50 years and think, “Man, those sure were some diabolically dark and sinister times.”?

Keep making art, y'all. Yes, even now. Especially now. 💚

Damien Joly, the chief executive officer of the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative, is warning a lack of funding for wildlife disease monitoring is undermining Canada’s ability to detect and respond to emerging threats to biodiversity, agriculture and human health. thenarwhal.ca/wildlife-dis...

Just love how this Canadian professor (history?) is tearing the imperial mindset of the 🇺🇸MAGA loosers apart. Of course the parallels he draws to how WWll started is a dreadful thought. So much death and destruction because a few men thought they could grab a bit of land and annex some more.

“If journalists were succeeding, the public would be well informed and able to fend off the lies of Republican politicians & their vast disinformation network. News flash: Journalists are not succeeding. That’s why the tactics of the news industry must change…They must become radically truthful.”

'Padlock the door and board the windows Put the people in the street "It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry." And draws a check, goes home to eat But at night he tells his woman "I know I hide behind the laws." She says, "You're only taking orders." That's how every empire falls' ~ John Prine

men get coddled that somehow their loneliness is other people's fault, and if anything is wrong with them, the loneliness is to blame women get shot in the face

Great article.

The Toronto Sun is majority-owned by U.S. hedge fund Chatham Asset Management. It was fined $19 million in 2018 by the SEC for fraud & also owned the national Enquirer when it covered up for Trump. Question: why is the Gvt of Canada subsidizing a media outlet owned by a corrupt US hedge fund?

Good morning to everyone who doesn’t want to annex Canada, Columbia, Cuba, Greenland, Mexico, or Panama, and just wants universal healthcare.

the USA is a clear & present danger to the entire planet; these people are not untouchable gods, they are mortal apes like the rest of us, with ugly hearts, get rid of them and never allow their grotesque philosophy to flourish again

Rep from Venezuela calls upon the UNSC to uphold international law and prevent the US from colonizing nations and conducting further armed action against other states - messaging to the world that law is optional.

The Western Hemisphere is in peril. The countries in America’s neighbourhood need ordinary Americans to: speak up, organize, protest, & stop the Trump regime from attacking Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, & Colombia.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.
