There’s not a single city I haven’t loved in Canada. This country has the best people in the world.

Super Pacs are monsters. They conceal donations that turn into bribes and keep citizens from knowing who has bought our politicians. Hope that helps!

And this is why I am always going off about people needing to stop thinking of Canada as benign peacekeeper or an unwilling imperialist partner.

Anti-immigrant riots in Northern Ireland left many cars and homes burned after masked protesters went through mostly immigrant parts of Belfast.

Genocide through the body.
Painful, painful and a necessary reading.

[Alia Ali @alia724]

Stop worrying about what it looks like, and start worrying about how it feels.

@SecondSonsCA The delusion is so real. Literally blurs out membership faces 😂

It doesn’t seem very “pragmatic” calling everyone Hamas/ Hamas supporters. A next to zero chance that it will have anyone come any closer to your point of view.

THE TIME FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION WAS OBLITERATED
This story should send shockwaves through the spine of 450M EU citizens not just Germans.
Crushing fundamental freedoms/human dignity to protect a genocidal state is a worrying trend these days.
Solidarity with the victims everywhere

@IrinaNovoselsky is it worth it to be on the side of fascism? How much are those boots paying you?

[Alia Ali @alia724]

Hey @hootsuite! Surely all this negative press and protests aren’t worth the ICE contract?? Hundreds showed up to protest you in THE RAIN! It’s so weird to stand on the wrong side of history so loud! Follow Jim Pattison’s lead and end your contract! #vancouver #iceOut #vanpoli

[Mark Kersten || @markkersten.bsky.social @MarkKersten]

ICE out of Canada!

We’re here raining on @hootsuite’s parade and sending a simple message: People before profits.

Just watched Zootopia 2 and how is this not an allegory for Israel/ Palestine 😅

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

It is completely impossible to imagine a politician talking about a Jewish person this way because they would immediately be called a Nazi and shunned from public life. Rightfully so

It took me a long time to get to this point, but it’s time to face it. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Between the indiscriminate bombing of hospitals, starvation of the population, plans for ethnic cleansing, slaughter of aid workers and cover ups, there is no escaping it. Israel is trying to eradicate the Palestinian people. We can’t stop it unless we admit it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Please read and share. ❗️Genocide is the intention to destroy a group as such❗️Using a 'triple lens approach' allows to easily understand it. All is needed is looking at:
➡️the totality of conduct (which may include either crimes per se - killing, torture, forced displacement, etc - or acts conducive to crimes),
➡️against the totality of the group (e.g. Israel treats any Palestinian, old or young, as a security threat, arrestable or even killable, which facilitates all manners of unlawful conduct and justification thereof);
➡️in the totality of the land (the entire occupied Palestinian territory, namely what Israel claims sovereignty on and where Palestinians 'must' be uprooted/eliminated).

Far from being 'a novel approach', what I propose is common sense, based on int'l law and jurisprudence.

My last report, Genocide as Colonial Erasure, explains the long-standing colonial logic of the unfolding genocide, and I am glad @Law4Palestine summarised it. 👇

This video was leaked just now from a school under siege in northern Gaza (I won’t mention the school’s name to avoid endangering the person who shared it). The Israeli army asked the displaced people sheltering in the school to surrender, and when they did, this is what they did to them. Then, they took them to an unknown location.

Share the video so the world knows what’s happening in northern Gaza.
The genocide continues.

“On this photo taken by the Israeli army, we see a 3-year-old girl among the Palestinians herded outside, amidst ruins, stripped of their clothing, as they attempt to flee Jabalia in northern Gaza.

This child’s name is Jouri; she was herded for 8 hours with her father, without food or water.

A terrible image of inhumanity that echoes others from 80 years ago”.

Canadian racism is uniquely stupid

BREAKING :

The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.

EXTERMINATION.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
