Israel has blocked 18,500+ Palestinians from evacuating Gaza for life-saving medical treatment they can only receive abroad. “A 15-year-old girl lost her eyesight. A five-year-old lies motionless in a nylon tent. Both have medical referrals to leave Gaza. Neither has been allowed to leave.”

This, plus a recognition that, thwarted in Iran and Lebanon, Netanyahu's claim of "victory" in his re-election bid rests on conquering Gaza for the settlers to move in, and vowing to finish the expulsion and genocide of Palestinians, with bipartisan support in Washington. HRC carries Bibi's water.

The spike in trade came despite a UK ban on Israel attending DSEI — the UK's biggest arms show — back in 2025

Hey quick question: what kind of legislation do you rush through in the dead of night, with your MPs unwilling to read out any of the changes they're making or refusing to make? Is it the good kind? The kind that makes us all proud to be 🇨🇦? #BillC22 #canpoli

AI facial recognition with sexist and racist biases baked in? A cynic might argue that's perfect for the UK Home Office.

CEO Carney would not know democracy if it fell on him. It's all power for him, he's worse than Harper.

Every goddamned word of this.

In politics, and in public life in general, there are 3 roles: Oligarch Concierge Opponent Most of us can't be oligarchs, so we need to decide whether to support them or resist them.

The whole Carney project has been about building political capital through episodic nationalist bravado, then spending it all on appeasing tyrants (corporate and political).

When you become disabled, this is what you can expect: “You just need to try harder” “If it were really that bad you would have help” “If the help is inadequate go to the hospital that’s what they’re there for” What you can’t expect: Actual friggin help.

Kristi Noem has landed on her feet in Canada at a mining company. The fact that Canadian mining companies are the worst violators of human rights in the world makes this hire a meeting of values. That is the real Canada. Look up their records in Central and S America globalnews.ca/news/1190912...

God it's good to hear from a leader with a moral compass.

1/ The federal government has tabled a new water bill that backtracks on recognizing the human right to water for First Nations. This is shameful, and it is a slap in the face of communities who have been waiting for decades to have safe drinking water.

The UK government has absolutely no shame in its complicity with Israel's genocide in Gaza, as one question in Parliament showed By @skwawkbox.org
