The irony of everyone fawning over how Mark Carney is 'standing up' for Canada is that he is simultaneously eroding the few institutions that actually distinguish the Canadian state from the US, and those which theoretically could be used to shield Canadians from the disaster area to the south.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media. The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters. They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters. Israel is once again breaking international law

In Port Morien, a persistent hum from the Donkin mine is undermining residents’ health and daily lives. The Cow Bay Environmental Coalition is transforming this noise into a call for public health and a just energy transition. 👉 Read their story: https://loom.ly/lcJhMns

"These damn bicycles are taking over the streets!" NEW MCGILL STUDY: Hard facts from #Montreal to set things straight. Cars now get 79.6% of the infrastructure area (roads) in the city. Pedestrians (sidewalks): 18.3% Micromobility (lanes for bikes, scooters etc.): 1.57% 🧵

ALWAYS give to Sameer Project. They're in Gaza, they're Palestinian, and they provide with dignity and respect. Gazans often say that it's generally best to donate to individual fundraisers, that prominent orgs are nowhere to be seen in Gaza!--Except the Sameer Project which is consistently active.

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

Hydrology Paper of the Day @olefeldt.bsky.social on how a new version of the Global Lakes and Wetlands Database was calculated from freely-available satellite and ground based observations: capturing seasonality and classes; integration of wetlands and peatlands; and robust validation.

Happy to share the new GLWD v2! This product maps the global distribution of 33 distinct wetland and waterbody classes, covering 18.2 million km2. I'm excited that it's ready for use in conservation efforts, large-scale modelling, & more 🌍🌏🌎 doi.org/10.5194/essd... #geosky #water #wetlands

Had a great time at #EGU25 last week surrounded by interesting people and research! I really enjoyed discussions at my poster session, plus HydroLAB reunions, celebrating a birthday by the river, ECS/first-time attendee networking events and a mini food tour with @turbulentflo.bsky.social

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

War crimes.

beauty really is all around

The arrest of Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, a greencard holder, without due process is a structure test to see what they can get away with. If his deportation holds, we will see the mass dissappearing of dissenting voices. Freedom for Mahmoud and eternal shame on the enablers shorturl.at/fMiLA

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

Here's a lesson for all of us that the universities are relearning today: Staying silent in the face of fascism will not protect you.

As Montreal loses its wetlands at an alarming pace, locals are fighting to get the province to enforce its own environmental laws. Excellent piece by Natalia Rivero Gómez. therover.ca/why-are-queb...

Palestinian babies are not spontaneously freezing to death. They are being deliberately subjected to conditions calculated to terminate life. In other words, they are being murdered. The cause of death is not the cold, but the genocide being perpetrated by Israel and the US.

Major new research finds “shockingly” fast changes to flows of Earth’s c. 3 million rivers, mapped across 35 years. “Rivers are dynamic and beautiful beasts & humans should never take them for granted or squander the resources they provide us with.” (Hannah Cloke) www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/c...

This is so horrible. This needs to stop. kitchener.ctvnews.ca/university-o...

Amnesty International has officially concluded that a genocide is being committed by Israel.

"It looks like a controlled demolition... And you have nothing to say ...it takes a lot of planning and preparation to do and if there was a threat from this particular facility, they wouldn't have been able to do it." The chyron says it's Matt Lee from the AP www.aljazeera.com/program/news...

Good morning, Bluesky. Free Palestine.

One out of every 200 people in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli army — and the bombing still hasn’t stopped. Let that sink in for a moment, then remember how Israeli authorities are trying to make Western publics believe they aren’t targeting civilians. This is a massacre.

The terrorist regime has over 6000 Palestinians held hostage in their jails. They’ve taken almost 3000 hostages in the West Bank alone since October 7. They torture Palestinians all day every day and even brag on social media about it, and now their convicted terrorist minister wants more torture.

Huda's sister Nour Al-Sousi—a writer who had two stories in the 2014 anthology GAZA WRITES BACK, which you may have read—posted on Twitter to say “The rescuers only recovered her head. They promised to continue searching for the rest of her body. I never got the chance to say goodbye or mourn her.”
