Last week, students at 11 campuses across Canada held actions calling on their schools to kick #RBCOffCampus until @RBC stops funding fossil fuels & the #CGL pipeline.

As long as @RBC finances climate chaos & colonial violence, they will struggle to win this generation's support

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove.

This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.

[Yves Engler @EnglerYves]

Immediately pause all Canadian military accords, officer exchanges, training missions, joint naval deployments & weapons sales to US military so long as this fanatic is charge

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide.

It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.

[Robert Inlakesh @falasteen47]

YouTube deleted all my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account.

No community guidelines violated & 3 separate excuses given to me. Then Google deleted my email & won’t respond to appeals.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

The death of Dick Cheney, who, like Kissinger before him, never spent a day in prison for massive crimes against humanity causing the destruction of whole countries and the deaths of millions, is a symbol of the impunity that is at the root of much of the violence in our world today. Trump, Biden, Netanyahu, and countless other ruthless criminals have so deeply absorbed this lesson that they have openly perpetrated a live-streamed genocide, confident that they will never be punished. It is the duty of all decent people, if we are not to sentence the world to generations of further horrors, to hold these blood-soaked monsters accountable.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Yes, it’s only one candidate in one race. But tonight, in the largest US city, @ZohranKMamdani defeated not only the former Governor, but also the most powerful and nefarious political forces in the country, tens of millions of dollars in anti-Zohran spending, an unprecedented campaign of racist and Islamophobic attacks, lies, and smears, the billionaire oligarchs, the real estate lobby, the Zionist lobby, the Wall Street robber barons, the corrupt Democrat and Republican parties, the super pacs, corporate media, and the US President, proving that the rapid US slide into fascism is not inevitable, the empire is not invulnerable, and it is not too late to fight back. This is what they feared most. Congratulations to Zohran. Now it’s time for millions across the country to pick up the torch.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Israeli soldiers are now regularly and systematically massacring Palestinians at their "aid" sites. They do it nearly every day and more than 400 people have now been murdered this way. It is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.

[🎒Benji Schoendorff🪁本杰明 @b_schoendorff]

Gaza death toll close to 400k.

A number of us have been warning of this all along. It is a holocaust, the White Empire's holocaust.

The US, UK, EU, & Canada are all complicit. They have forfeited any future role and influence in international rule setting and enforcement.

[Pam Palmater @Pam_Palmater]

Dear PM Carney, Canada is bound by UN Charter & cannot attack or threaten to attack another sovereign country like Iran.

Israel violated UN Charter when it pre-emptively & illegally attacked Iran. Israel has been claiming Iran is close to nuclear weapons for decades. The most reliable reports suggest it's Israel with nuclear weapons. Keep in mind, Israel is the one that has not signed non-proliferation treaty.

Canada cannot engage in or support lawlessness. Please don't create grave risk to innocent civilians in the middle east (or here at home) by supporting or acting in concert with US & Israel's illegal attacks on Iran (or Israel's ongoing genocide & illegal occupation in Palestine).

Canada must stand for better than following an unstable, war-mongering US President into war - the same President that is in a trade war with Canada & the rest of the world. If you are going to lead the allies, lead them into peace & prioritize human rights, climate action, respect for international law & a safe, sustainable, Indigenous-rights respecting economy that supports everyone.

I thought Liberals were different from Conservatives, that you stood for diplomacy, justice, and human rights. But what we’re seeing now is a government hiding behind progressive language while endorsing the same militarism and double standards.
You talk about international law, but stay silent when your allies bomb civilians. You call for peace, but cheer on airstrikes. And now you invoke “stability” while people in Gaza, Tehran and Israel are dying under missiles. What exactly makes this any different from Conservative foreign policy except a softer tone and better PR?
If you’re going to act like Conservatives, don’t insult our intelligence by pretending it’s in the name of liberal values. We deserve honesty and the people suffering these wars deserve more than selective outrage.

I cant believe this is really happening everyday and no one is moving a finger to stop it!

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the sole power to authorize offensive military action.

The American people do not want another forever war, and the Trump admin does not have the authority to pull us into one. I'm co-sponsoring this resolution to prevent that outcome.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Things that have been normalised:

- Killing children
- Killing journalists
- Killing medics
- Killing aid workers
- Starving people to death
- "Aid massacres"

The world doesn't turn back from here.

This is now our reality.

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

Starving people in a concentration camp, then letting tiny amount of food in, then shooting hundreds of desperate people dead when they try to get the food—it’s the most sick, evil shit many have ever seen. We see what’s happening and will never look at things the same way again.

[Jenny Kwan @JennyKwanBC]

If Bill C-2 passes, RCMP and CSIS can secretly compel any service providers and their referrals including doctors, banks, landlords, even therapists - to disclose information about Canadians without a warrant or judicial oversight based only on vague "reasonable grounds". 2/

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The area in Tehran that Israel is saying they’re about to bomb is where my uncle and aunt live. It’s a densely-populated area of homes.

Israel has normalized attacking civilians and destroying homes because world “leaders” did nothing. Just total impunity for a genocidal state.

[Alistair Kitchen @alistairkitchen]

Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

This is insane. European leaders are lying to you. Israel perpetrated an unprovoked attack, a war of aggression by criminals wanted by the ICC, while simultaneously committing a genocide. It is Israel and its Western backers that are the main source of regional instability.

[Yves Engler @EnglerYves]

Canadian officials must press for Manuel’s release

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Sanctions are urgently needed to force Israel to end its illegal attacks on Iran and its genocide in Gaza. Join 12,000+ Canadians in demanding that @MarkJCarney and @AnitaAnandMP follow through with sanctions on Israel: https://t.co/t772hsC5aN
