Remember when Carney said this in Davos? Keep this paragraph in mind when you read what he said today about Iran and the UAE, and his silence when Iran was being attacked...
"We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim."
MARCO RUBIO: "We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years because there will be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the Dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them."
Oh, this is unbelievable. The edit history on this tweet shows that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif originally copied and pasted everything he was sent, including:
"*Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X*"
Now, obviously, Sharif's own staff don't call him "Pakistan's PM," they would just call him prime minister. The U.S. and Israel, of course, would call him "Pakistan's PM."
Would be funny if the fate of the world wasn't hanging in the balance.
“We want to honor the Palestinian journalists who have risked their lives to bring us the truth. To give voice to the voiceless. Palestinian journalists have courage like no other. Their assassinations are not only tragedies for their families, for the community, and for the movement. They are profound losses for humanity. Each of these journalists carry a camera, a microphone, a notebook as their weapon. They were committed to telling the truth, to making sure the world did not turn away, to ensuring history could not be erased.” - Rama from @uspcn

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
🇮🇹 Genoa dockworkers block Saudi ship carrying arms bound for Israel
On Aug. 7, dockworkers in Genoa mounted a dawn blockade against the Saudi vessel Bahri Yanbu, refusing to load an Oto Melara cannon made by Italian arms giant Leonardo and other military cargo. The ship — arriving from Baltimore, Maryland — was already carrying weapons, ammunition, explosives, armored vehicles, and tanks, including shipments bound for Israel.
Around 40 workers boarded to inspect and document the shipment, declaring: “We don’t work for war.” The action, led by base unions USB and CALP with support from major federations, prompted the Port Authority to pledge talks on creating a “permanent observatory on arms trafficking.”
It follows a July action when Genoa dockers — tipped off by Greek port unions — blocked military-grade steel headed for Israel. Union leaders warned that handling such cargo makes workers complicit in war crimes and the Gaza genocide, vowing further mobilizations ahead of an international dockworkers’ assembly in September.
