Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba

I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film

As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes

It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.

But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

in order to be an environmentalist, you have to be anti-imperialist, anti-zionist, and anti-capitalist. anything else is just cosplay.

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.

The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.

Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.

I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

[Stevie @RaptorsShaq]

Fucking carpet bombing a city with 3x the population of Toronto, no doubt mass civilian casualties, you’re stupid as hell if you ever thought this was about liberating Iranians

Pray for the people of Iran

Do you want a "hip", "cool" PM wearing funky socks to deny workers' rights? Or a drab, "competent" banker PM to deny workers' rights? (Or perhaps a smarmy asshole PM to deny workers' rights?) There's so much choice in bourgeois democracy!

Ontario is currently experiencing a measles outbreak, with the vast majority of cases occurring in unvaccinated individuals who were eligible to receive the vaccine.

The measles vaccine is safe, free, widely available, and very effective.

this is actually fucking jaw-dropping. while trump cuts programs you need to live, he’s turning the white house into a car dealership to advertise his unelected shadow president’s failing company. dystopian levels of corruption

During my medical training, I never thought I would prescribe housing. But if there was a drug to restore 30-40 life years for patients, we would all see it as a medical breakthrough.

That life-saving treatment is housing for all.

Hospitals are needing to move upstream and address homelessness because band aid treatments keep failing people and health workers.

Grateful for UHN leadership seeing the importance of broadening our lane and the power of partnership with community.

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

Somebody on MSNBC actually told the truth about the rising income inequality in the United States and predicts revolutions targeting the wealthy are coming.

[John Clarke @JohnClke]

We mustn’t lose our sense of outrage that someone can die from the cold for lack of housing in a city that drips with wealth. https://t.co/tTHm5mFPMS
