Torontonians: Do you want the Military Industrial Complex to gain GLOBAL jurisdiction over journalists? Of course not. No Extradition, Free Assange NOW!
"government doesn't stand with you" actually stupid this is a Toronto-hosted event.
Unlike pro-Palestine marches, which are protests. And which, by the way, have been happening throughout the ethnic cleansing campaign, often spontaneously, and without city planning and support.
With Israel ramping up its violence in Gaza again, and continuing to escalate its destruction of Lebanon, this #Nakba demonstration should be as massive as we've ever had. #FreePalestine
Plus: don't let them West Bankify #Toronto and criminalize protest. Show up.

From Julian #Assange to #PalestineAction, the rotten UK legal system throws opponents of its war machine into cages.
In a just world, the tables will be turned, and these judges will perhaps spend a little quality time in the very cages where they've warehoused their victims.
A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s weaponization of censorship and secrecy laws has just begun.
The Grayzone's @MaxBlumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group Palestine Action face terrorism charges and the possibility of long prison terms – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this.
The UK media is similarly banned from reporting on these facts, while the defendants in the case are blocked by court order from explaining their motives for damaging and occupying Israeli weapons factories on British soil.
Blumenthal explains why Palestine Action is being targeted with such a draconian prosecution: because they are effective.
Having caused the closure of Israeli factories, they have provided activists around the world with a workable model for raising the cost of occupation and genocide.
Now, he argues, the British state is so determined to prevent their acquittal before a potentially sympathetic jury that it rigging the trial and perverting whatever's left of democracy, all to preserve its special relationship with Israel.
May the French people take to the streets screaming all the things they're not allowed to say.
May we all put ourselves on the line to push back against the West Bank-ification of the world.
Jails should overflow with us until these laws are rendered unenforceable and dropped.
Remember when people said Trump would end censorship and protect free speech but somehow forgot that during his first term, his administration literally made a plan to murder Julian Assange for publishing and further criminalized national security whistleblowing in other ways.
I wonder what those people have to say about this. I can guess.
"Attack" is not an overstatement. The attempt to shut this protest down is the genocidal war machine flexing its muscle. Fuck that. #AlQudsDay2026#Toronto
There you go Doug Ford. This intervention of yours is palpably unconstitutional, and it itself can only inflame tensions between the Israel lobby and civil society. It is a backward, totalitarian and neanderthal assault on freedom. I hope your AG will not condone your madness and that the judge hearing the injunction will not grant it. Please stop with the "hate hate hate" trope.
Looks like they're back, but it should go without saying that these social media sites are extensions of the security state, and that we're therefore waging an information war against the Machine on its own territory.
X has suspended the account of the Center on Conscience & War (@CCW4COs) after the group posted information informing U.S. service members of their legal rights in time of war as the US and Israel escalate attacks against Iran.
The nonprofit, founded in 1940, provides counseling and legal guidance for military personnel seeking discharge or reassignment as conscientious objectors—a right recognized under U.S. military regulations and international human rights standards.

Critics say the suspension raises serious questions about free speech and the ability of soldiers to access information about their legal rights during wartime.
To those who stupidly claimed the WikiLeaks prosecution would never affect "real" journalists:
DOJ cited the WikiLeaks case in court as to why they should have been allowed to raid a Washington Post reporter's house without telling the judge about the Privacy Protection Act.
Expect the mask to come off and a lot of ICE/IDF-like behaviour throughout the NATO empire (not just the US). The ruling class is rolling their hyper-security state out in a coordinated manner, with the domestic populations being targeted with intimidation.
Hopefully people there who have been protesting, including those who showed up for that large protest on the bridge, will keep right on doing it. Canada hasn't banned protests--yet--but many are pushing for it. Most Toronto protesters would protest a protest-ban, I think/hope.
🚨Urgent: MintPress is being financially censored by Indiegogo who is refusing to provide us with our $50,000 payout for our fundraiser
Dear supporters,
Indiegogo has cancelled our fundraising campaign and will not provide us with our $51,000 payout that we raised through the fundraising platform for our campaign: Help Keep MintPress Alive.
Their reason: our project did not meet their guidelines.
This is an unacceptable reasoning that we were provided with only today, nearly three months after our campaign ended in October.
I have been trying to get our payout from Indiegogo since the campaign ended.
In addition, MintPress has used Indiegogo to raise funds to support our independent journalism projects for nearly a decade.
Indiegogo did say that all donations will be refunded back to donors.
But why now?
We don't know for sure, however, we suspect that this is part of a coordinated financial attack against MintPress as we were also recently banned from GoFundMe and Paypal for our journalism that exposes the architects of the forever war machine.
In the last year alone, MintPress News has exposed a network of Israeli spies from Unit 8200 working within big tech & media.
Our independent investigative journalism has been at the forefront of exposing the architects of the US forever war machine and Zionist influence over our political system and national security state.
We believe this is a coordinated attack against dissenting journalism that holds the military elite accountable that keep endless wars possible.
MintPress will not back down and ask ask that you stand with us.
MintPress is 100% reader supported and we are STILL AT RISK OF SHUTTING DOWN due to being financially targeted unless we meet our fundraising goals.
We need your support NOW more than ever.
We thank you for standing with us to support our 14 year long legacy of providing independent watchdog journalism and helping us push back against this censorship.
We are organizing and planning the steps we need to take against Indiegogo .
In the meantime we hope you will help us raise awareness against the sanctions regime that is targeting its own citizens and our protected right of journalism.

New trailer (#1) for soon to be released film on Julian Assange: The Six Billion Dollar Man. The film is an independent, high-stakes documentary tracing WikiLeaks' revelations, the attempts to censor them and the fight that freed Julian Assange. It won the L’Œil d’or at Cannes this year as well as the Golden Globe.
This needs to be huge. Canadian government needs to understand that they'll never be able to get away with criminalizing protest, despite their obvious moves/desire to do so. More importantly, Palestine is still being brutalized. Enough is enough. #FreePalestine#Toronto
