ANNOUNCEMENT: I have filed the paperwork to sue the Government of Manitoba for the harm they have done to my children and our family. My hope is that what they did to our family they can never again do to another First Nations family again. (thread)

This is so far from accurate, and so harmful. No one is asking for symbolic crumbs. We want our physical homes back, our land back, our trees back. Anyone claiming to be an ally while actively working to misrepresent the most basic, material Palestinian demands is not an ally.

Folks, is it a good idea to have AI decide who stays in jail and who gets out early?

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🎥💢 Footage filmed by Drop Site contributor Abdel Qader Sabbah captured the aftermath of an Israeli strike targeting civilians in Anwar Aziz Square in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp on Monday.

Three Palestinians were killed in the attack, including 8-year-old Jad Youssef Suleiman, who relatives said was on his way home from school, and 70-year-old Ismail Abu Dan.

“My nephew, my sister’s son, was coming home from school,” a woman said to Drop Site. “What was his crime? A child going to school.”

She said, “there is no safe place in Gaza. You leave your home not knowing whether you’re going to return or die.”

Another man held up the bloodstained school bag of his 8-year-old son killed in the strike.

“This is his backpack. It’s covered in blood. What was his crime? A piece of shrapnel struck his neck.”

Asked about the ceasefire, a third witness replies: “There is no ceasefire. There is no safe place. Enough bloodshed. Let us be, for God’s sake. Let us live in peace.”

At least seven Palestinians have been reported killed across Gaza so far Monday in a series of Israeli strikes, along with more than a dozen people who were wounded.

Today’s Israeli attack in Tyre in front of the Red Cross center killed five people and wounded eight, including four medics in the Red Cross.

What's important here is that he spent the entire production trying to bait Muslims into assaulting him for acting flamboyantly gay. Only for that to never happen, except with a group of Israelis. It's the only time he broke character during production, to tell them he was acting

Except she is silent on Israel's genocide of Palestinians, so how exceptional can she be? @MarcMillerVM

Deliberately blocking aid is a WAR CRIME. Where is the media coverage?

Canada: the country where we do farcical “consultations” to tick a box off the process checklist and then do what we want but maybe let the public choose the colour of the wall.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

This is so devastating, honestly. I don’t understand how so many people can march for a state that is actively committing a genocide.

Are Palestinian lives really worth so little to this many Canadians?

If so, I’m ashamed to call myself Canadian today.

50-day Gazan infant Mohammad Ahmad Al-Khatib is being treated in intensive care in Nasser hospital after suffering life-altering injuries that led to amputation.

His critical condition has become emblematic of the wider humanitarian catastrophe facing children in the Gaza Strip, where around 6,000 amputation cases were reported since the start of the genocide, with children accounting for roughly a quarter of them.

Fact check: Iran has the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside Israel, there are synagogues, and there is a seat reserved for Jewish representation in parliament.

Oh, and Israel bombed a synagogue in Tehran in April.

#LongCOVID may be affecting far more than the lungs alone.

➡️ Researchers found that symptomatic post-COVID patients had weaker inspiratory muscles, abnormal lung ventilation/perfusion patterns on scintigraphy, and significantly poorer sleep quality.

➡️ The most striking finding? Inspiratory muscle endurance was strongly linked to how well air reached the lungs (r = 0.93) and was closely associated with daytime sleepiness and sleep disruption. 1/

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨BREAKING: 20 year old Malak Zaher Naim has died after months of waiting for cancer treatment unavailable in Gaza.

Malak survived the Israeli genocide, was displaced more than six times, and cared for her family throughout the ordeal. She was later diagnosed with lymphoma in the wall of her stomach, but chemotherapy was unavailable and repeated efforts to get her out of Gaza for treatment failed due to the crossing closure.

By the time she was finally allowed to travel, her condition had become critical. She died in Egypt shortly after arriving.

Malak’s story reflects the reality faced by thousands of cancer patients in Gaza, where war, siege, and the collapse of the healthcare system have turned treatable illnesses into death sentences.

Israeli settlers, including children, blocking the path of a Palestinian ambulance transporting a critically ill patient on the Nablus–Ramallah road in the West Bank, under the protection of the Israeli army, which is standing by and watching.

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.

The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

@privacylawyer This was the Australian “ban” (digital ID for all access) being covered months ago in the U.S. Canadians have been asleep at the wheel for years now…with Doug Ford’s interference in Toronto’s 2018 municipal election as a start and now Carney especially.

The Globe reports that online harms legislation is coming this week that includes a “temporary” social media for kids under 16. My post on why this effectively establishes mandated ID for all Canadians to use social media and AI and it won’t be temporary.
