@RpsAgainstTrump What a nut job! Why do Americans either think they've seen aliens or think the world is ending? Toddler civilization. Grow up!

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

Ezra Klein says plainly that he is not Catholic and does not share the Church’s cosmology.

He read Pope Leo’s AI encyclical anyway, and found in it “a really beautiful and moving articulation” of what he would otherwise call liberal values.

His point is about timing. The encyclical’s insistence on human dignity, and on how people owe each other a certain kind of treatment, reads differently under Trump than it would have under a Jeb Bush presidency.

The American pope has a hearing from people outside the Church who are hunting for a moral language that survives this moment.

🚨 BREAKING:

“I carry the image of a Muslim child who was killed in Lebanon, who, during my visit to Lebanon, was there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. I cannot support war.”

I’ve done a few book blurbs in my time but I am really pleased and proud to be on this one.

@EricSpracklen You seem to like aggressive people from what I see from your posts. Worth it?

[Jonathan Araya @YoJonathanAraya]

Lisa O’Neill, quien ya había actuado junto a Glen Hansard en el funeral de Shane MacGowan, rindió homenaje a Hansard en su propio funeral cantando "Old Note".

@EricSpracklen This kid lacks charity. Simple.

@JamesMartinSJ Politics should never use religion for gain, and you, as a priest of Jesus Christ, should not encourage it.

🌞 GM MAGA - Quick geography lesson, and a swift bitch-slap for twisting the truth you lying sacks of shit.

It was Ceuta — a tiny Spanish territory in North Africa that borders Morocco, and is separated from actual Spain by 20 MILES OF WATER.

50,000 mostly young Moroccan men crossed and 48,300 of them turned around and left (Trump leaves that part out because it doesn't fit his narrative).

They never invaded Spain.
They never invaded Spain.
They never invaded Spain.

They never even reached European mainland.

But Trump & his lackeys saw an opening to sell a false narrative — THE INVASION OF SPAIN — pushing dozens of mislabeled videos claiming “this can happen here” to justify his waste of $110B+ to fund ICE.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE GENERATOR OF FAKE NEWS.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE GENERATOR OF FAKE NEWS.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE GENERATOR OF FAKE NEWS.

🤥 Trump called it a “catastrophe” and an “invasion of a country.”
🤥 Vance blamed “radical left-wing policies.”
🤥 Stephen Miller and the machine looped the videos nonstop.
🤥 Elon compared it to World War Z.

The footage was pure gold for the propaganda machine.
This is how the FAKE NEWS MACHINE works:

🤥 Manufacture the crisis.
🤥 Sell it as an invasion.
🤥 Ignore the truth.
🤥 Double down

THERE WAS NO INVASION OF SPAIN.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

There is so much misinformation being spread about what’s actually happening in Spain:

1) Migrants are not swimming or taking boats to Spain’s mainland. Ceuta is a Spanish enclave on Morocco’s northern coast.

2) This is a coordinated effort by Morocco’s government, seen in the video below transporting migrants in trucks to Ceuta.

Morocco’s government aligns with Israel and the US, so these efforts most likely aim to punish Spain for supporting Palestine and opposing the US and Israel’s war against Iran.

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

[Suzy @wadesgirlie]

Falling Slowly is amazing…but this song from Once is also absolutely breathtaking.
