#BREAKING
🇮🇱❌🇱🇧 Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes on Lebanon, with reports indicating the operation is officially named “Eternal Darkness.”
The scale of bombardment and destruction in Lebanon is unprecedented, it seems like Israel is trying to stop the ceasefire agreement, or at least exclude Lebanon from it.
BREAKING: Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez calls on the European Union to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel following Israeli strikes on Lebanon's capital today.
Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
"My stand is clear, i can't support war, and i am with people of Gaza & Iran. I am getting letters from across the world praising the stand of Spain." ❤️
- 🇪🇸 Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez the only politician in Europe with Spine 🔥
“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK
LIKE THIS”
-Tucker Carlson to Donald Trump
One of the most prominent right-wing voices has broken away from Trump, directly criticising him.
Greta Thunberg:
“The President of the United States just said an entire civilization will die tonight, and never be brought back again, and no one is reacting.
This speaks for itself.
We have normalized genocide.
We have normalized the annihilation of entire peoples.
We have normalized the systematic destruction of the biosphere we all depend on.
We have normalized corrupt, racist war criminals acting with total impunity.
But it is not too late to say: STOP. If we don’t, we have no right to call ourselves human.”

@sabinaberman No existe el "derecho a existir" de un Estado. Lo que existe, es el derecho a existir de un pueblo. Francesca Albanese, relatora de ONU lo explica bien : https://t.co/z3H0kLi70a
Iran’s regime is illiberal and brutal, and the Iranian people deserve the freedom they have long fought for. This gives no right to the US or Israel -whose own policies in Palestine are also illiberal and brutal- to bomb Iran, nor to EU leaders to cloak escalation in hypocrisy.
The American media is failing to report that today the Mexican Army said 80% of the weapons used by "El Mencho" (the top drug lord they just killed) came from the US. Let that sink in.
As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.
For nine months, my wife, Brooklyn, carried our baby boy. And for nine months, we lived in a place between hope and heartbreak.
Early in the pregnancy, we learned something was terribly wrong. Around the three- to four-month mark, doctors told us our son had severe hydrocephalus — fluid building so rapidly in his brain that it pushed everything aside. They used to call it “water on the brain,” but the simplicity of the name didn’t soften the reality.
We were eventually referred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where some of the best fetal specialists in the country met with us. And they gave us the kind of news no parent is ever prepared to hear.
His condition was so severe, so extreme, that they stopped measuring. There was no point, they said. The MRI images were devastating. We were told there was a greater than 90% chance our son would either:
• Die shortly after birth, or
• Survive with such profound cognitive impairment that life — real life — would not be possible.
We sat through meetings no parent should ever sit through. Conversations about breathing tubes. About how long to try. About the moment we might have to make the decision to let him go.
Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati to be close to the hospital. I drove back and forth — working, caring for our daughters Sophie and Lily, and trying to keep our home standing while our world felt like it was falling apart.
Then came July 8th.
Just 15 minutes before Brooklyn’s C-section, we sat with doctors again and discussed when — not if — we might have to remove life support and let our son go to heaven.
I don’t have words for that kind of pain.
And then — Charlie Edward Schnarr entered this world crying.
A strong, loud, defiant cry.
The most beautiful sound I have ever heard.
He stayed in the NICU until yesterday… and now we are home. Together. Holding him. Loving him. Watching him breathe. Watching him live.
He has mild ventricular enlargement we will keep an eye on — but otherwise?
He is thriving. Eating. Wiggling. Yawning. Gripping our fingers. Looking around at a world that was never supposed to be his.
The doctors have no explanation. They said his brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own — something none of them have seen in a case this severe. The word that kept echoing through the NICU from seasoned nurses and top specialists was the same:
“Miracle.”
“Divine intervention.”
They said it. Not us.
We know thousands of people — family, friends, coworkers, strangers — were praying for our son. I believe with everything in me that God heard those prayers. That He placed His hand on Charlie. That He said, not this one.
I will spend the rest of my life thanking Him.
To every person who prayed for us — every text, every message, every whispered intention — thank you. You carried us when we were too exhausted to carry ourselves.
Prayer is real.
God is real.
And miracles… they still happen.
With a full and grateful heart,
—Nick
