@SecRubio For decades, Washington has been the world capital for far-right terrorism. The U.S. government has recruited, trained and backed violent fascist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are neglecting the biggest source of terrorism in the world: the Trump regime.
While Canada performs reconciliation, it’s bankrolling the invasion of Indigenous territories in the Amazon. $1.83 billion in Brazilian gold flowed into Canada in 2024 alone — making us the #1 destination for gold that is being laundered out of stolen Indigenous territory. Poisoned rivers. Pregnant Indigenous women with mercury in their blood. Nearly 100,000 hectares of Amazon forest gone. And the gold funding all of it? It’s sitting in Canadian banks, pension funds and the jewelry you buy right now. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented. There are receipts.

Italian dockworkers block military logistics hub in Mediterranean to disrupt supply chains fueling Gaza genocide
——
Italian anti-war campaigners and grassroots trade unions have launched a coordinated land and sea blockade at the strategic southern port of Gioia Tauro, aimed at disrupting western military supply chains fueling the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The mobilization, organized under the "Global Intifada Disarm" banner, saw a flotilla of activist vessels converge this week on the Calabrian hub alongside nationwide strikes targeting factories and logistics nodes linked to Israeli military production.
Activists directly accused Rome and multinational shipping giant MSC of complicity, revealing that 16 containers of dual-use ballistic steel used for missile manufacturing have been stalled on the docks due to persistent public exposure. The direct action achieved an immediate victory when the container ship MSC Manasvi turned back to sea without loading under-scrutiny cargo, following a tip-off from BDS Italy to local dockworkers.
The Calabrian terminal, one of the Mediterranean's most vital transshipment hubs, has become a primary flashpoint after Italian financial police were forced to inspect suspicious Indian-origin steel shipments earlier this year. The mounting pressure has sparked a parliamentary inquiry by the Five Star Movement, with union leaders emphasizing that sustained surveillance is the only way to prevent authorities from quietly smuggling arms components to Israel under the cover of night.
Organizers have framed the port blockades as a convergence of anti-imperialist solidarity and local labor struggles against the exploitation of Italy’s global south. Port workers and youth movements vowed to expand the maritime mapping of vessels transporting dual-use materials, declaring that the Mediterranean belongs to its working-class communities rather than the western war economy.
The Gioia Tauro shutdown marks a significant escalation in Italy's broader resistance movement, which has seen continuous university occupations and dockworker mutinies since the departure of the Global Sumud Flotilla last autumn.
Ford’s Conservatives just passed a bill 58-41 to seize control of Toronto’s role in Billy Bishop airport. Another power grab that overrides local decision-making and silences the city on its own waterfront. Torontonians didn’t vote for this. Ford shouldn’t get to decide Toronto’s future behind closed doors. #ONpoli #TOpoli
The problem isn’t public health care. The problem is that the Ford government is defunding & dismantling our public hospitals and other services in order to privatize them.

THIS IS WHO’S LEADING THE SEPARATISTS!
Why isn’t the media reporting these quotes?
Mitch Sylvestre believes the Libs are stealing billions & shipping it directly to King Charles.
He thinks the King plans to have him killed.
Once AB is independent, he has declared that 1/2 🧵
Thousands protested at Queen’s Park against hospital privatization. If public money is funding private clinics, is Ontario becoming a two-tier system? Keep our healthcare public, not private. #ONpoli#YSW
If you've eaten a fig, you've almost certainly eaten a wasp.
Fig trees and fig wasps have coevolved for 80 million years. A female wasp the size of a sesame seed crawls into a fig through a pinhole, loses her wings on the way, pollinates the flowers, lays her eggs, and dies inside. The fig dissolves her body with an enzyme called ficin.
Most commercial figs you buy are wasp-free, bred not to need pollination. Mediterranean and wild figs still are.
Each of about 750 fig species has its own dedicated wasp. Neither can exist without the other.
